How to Be a Confident Teacher: 16 Tips to Unlock Your Potential

[@merlenh8405]

Yes, yes, yes!!! 👍🏽 I started teaching English in classrooms over 40 years ago (!) and these tips of yours are timeless. Folks, listen to Chris!

[@TheLanguageHouseTEFL]

Wonderful!

[@nargizakhonturaeva2975]

I started teaching at a University … I am undergoing the lack of confident

[@hibamohamed89]

tips: 1- control what you can control: your look and fit 2- know your students 3- get your material right 4-be an expert or fake it😂 5- presence is everything 6- your voices is king 7- don't rumble 8- practice with your peers

[@krismr6162]

Omg I feel so dumb right now T.T I wish I watched this video before starting to teach, I am an extremely introverted person and I am struggling with the teaching thing wondering if I can actually be a good teacher :( you described me exactly how I think the students look me sometimes in the first clip, and it´s embarrasing to admit it bc I keep self-sabotaging instead of trying to be more confident. Thank you for the video, there are some points I still need to improve like the tone of the voice, the confidence and the last tip is a gem tbh, I am going to put it on practice, I always study and review my lessons but I think I still need to study even more in order to become like the queen in the topic lmao, thank u for the video!!!

How's it going rn

[@henrycampbell9733]

These are perfect tips, and "knowing/mastering the subject that you are teaching always, always worked for me. My students in high school and at the university where I teach as an adjunct love it when they see that I know what the heck I'm teaching and make them part of the studies and subject at hand. Benefits both of us.

[@Actionman7334]

Chris is one of the best teachers I've ever had. His tips and tricks have helped me so much in my career as an ESL teacher! Thanks so much!

[@TheLanguageHouseTEFL]

Thanks for the compliment! Almost a year since you graduated! I hope you’re doing!

[@Actionman7334]

I'm really doing great! I can't believe it's been a year. @@TheLanguageHouseTEFL

i'm currently 16 and i've been hired by one of my ex-teachers to help her during english tutoring (i'm self taught, so doing all the explaining can be both hard and exhausting when dealing with children). i currently struggle a bunch with keeping 9-10 year olds engaged in class. i noticed i might be lacking presence or even authority in the classroom (which hinders the quality of the classes) so these tips are great! thank you for this video :)

[@patriciafarias8835]

I learn a lot from your videos😊 I'm starting an online teaching program for beginners. Do you have tips for online teaching?

[@merlenh8405]

Depends. What online platform are you planning to use? And for what ages? (Adults or kids?)

[@merlenh8405]

@patriciafaria8835 Depends... What platform will you be using and for what age group?

[@TheLanguageHouseTEFL]

I don’t have any vids yet for online teaching, but I do have a complete series on beginners you can check out.

I tried teching in a language centre for a year and a half and despite learning to project a confident facade never got comfortable with it, just became more insecure and toxic. Taking a break for now, dunno if it's even worth it 🤨

[@premeraespada1723]

These tips works as a short term solution. You are screwed as long as your confidence depends on external factors.

[@rubyjendek1961]

Such as?

[@premeraespada1723]

@@rubyjendek1961 Such as, how you look, how someone else looks at you, what someone says about you, or when you make a fool of yourself while doing a presentation in front of a group of people and so on.

[@premeraespada1723]

Confidence does not come from success. It comes from failure

[@rubyjendek1961]

@@premeraespada1723 Fair points. I also get anxious when students stare at me lol. So my best tip here: make sure you like your hair and outfit. Be neat and put together. Teachers are the same as actors/celebs. Just a little less famous😅

[@premeraespada1723]

@@rubyjendek1961 aren't we all actors? You know, this is what I don't understand - we are all the same. Everyone is trying to be someone they are not and as a result, we all are terribly lonely. But nobody understands; maybe some do but they just can't embrace the loneliness. We need to embrace loneliness to become who we truly are.

[@maimohy7854]

Is there any online training for teachers ❤? Or for those only in Prague ?

[@hjm231]

I am so antisocial and shy person, but i like literature and i like to teach it. Please give advice to become best lecturer without making a real connection with students

[@Chanchalprasad79]

Hy

[@jenaeh4885]

I will say the connection with the students is what helps them retain information more especially if you relate the content to their level and ideas. Connections are key. But just a personal opinion, this has been working for me! Not all classrooms are the same 😊
