Courses and certifications. It is highly recommended that you develop your teaching skills before starting your first class. Not adapting learning styles: that students are never the same, it's a fact, but have you ever stopped to think that if people are different, the way you teach them should be too? So it is! Understanding learning styles is essential so that you can develop a feeling for how to transmit knowledge to each of your students, after all, they need to feel comfortable and respected so that they can learn more easily. Teaching monotonous and unengaging classes: learning a new language is challenging in itself, isn't it? Now imagine having to participate in a boring class, with no dynamics and no personality every week! It's impossible to fall in love with a language like that.
This is one of the biggest factors that make students give up on learning English. So try to unleash your creativity, proposing practical and interactive activities, taking into account the temperature of the participants. Ignoring student preferences: no, this is not about “the student is always right”. This is about understanding that you are teaching people and that people learn through Phone Number List human connection. That's why it's very important that you know your students' preferences. Create a database of comments and observations about the people you teach. Bringing a piece of the student's favorite series, a song by an idol, a topic of interest for discussion makes all the difference in ensuring that the student enjoys learning and is encouraged to always share their opinions in the classroom.
Being afraid to adapt lessons: with the advancement of accessibility, it is very easy to find ready-made lessons on any topic for any level of English on the internet. A big mistake as a teacher is being afraid to adapt these lessons to the students you have. I don't believe that training bilinguals is effective when we use generic materials, without personalization. Then test making small changes to these activities focusing on your students’ goals, difficulties or interests. Lack of preparation: never enter the classroom without having minimally prepared that class, for God sake ! No one deserves a teacher who is lost in the content, who just fills the air. Students notice, you are not satisfied with the work and the tendency is for students to end up giving up as time goes by.
