I got accepted into my first teaching job as a teacher at a Marines school near me and I'm watching this because my anxiety is getting the best of me rn, i hope this can help me for tomorrow
@@briabree7683 it was great actually!! I met the teachers there and they were sooo nice, same for the students (all 25y and older) also the place and scenery is by the sea so it's gorgeous, best decision I've made :3
@@briabree7683 i hope it works out for you too, i know it's natural to be nervous, but as long as you're confident in yourself and abilities you'll do it, don't worry, the fear actually disappears the moment you start talking!
I just got offered and accepted a teaching position at my local college as an electrical instructor. I’m super hyped and start August 10th. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for this useful and resourceful video. I’m starting a side job as an English tutor tomorrow and I love the confidence that you portrait when explaining. I will let you all know how it goes after my first class.
A week from today will be my first day teaching all by myself. I'm an ESL student and I'll be working for my university this term. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. Thanks for the advice, Chris!!
This has been the most valuable video I have watched in the last 2 days of prepping for a potential IT Tutor role. Experienced in teaching one to one, not so much of groups. You have built my confidence a great deal !
Please Chris keep on making similar videos. Yesterday was my first teaching lesson, it was a success. You were my trainer, I've watched your teaching videos and tips on teaching several times. For my planning I've followed you lessons structure. Your class demos where the best and most useful to me. Can you please make a video on inclusive teaching and differentiation.
This was the best possible explanation! It's time for the show! Know your part, and deliver, with room for adlibs and improvisation!!! Creating games for elementary students is still most challenging for me, though.
Thanks a lot for this video really make me realize for what actually the problems that I should solve for my teaching in class. Just about one month being english teacher. And very tough enough for me because never had any experience in teaching before. Thanks a million sir
Hi Mr Chris you have no idea how much this video was helpful as a teacher who has just started his career I have learned lots of interesting tips and things which I had no idea about before, I believe you are one of the most successful teachers and your students must be lucky to have such a great teacher like you Greeting
Wow this is so helpful! I am volunteering at our church to teach beginning ESL for adults. I really want to do a good job for them. I am not a teacher! I will be binging your videos! Let me know if you have certain videos I should watch. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us :)
@@christinaserrano6379 that is wonderful :) you will do great! I ended up switching gears and taking a job with Read To Succeed. It is a nonprofit that promotes adult and family literacy. We do ESL and help native speakers that never learned to read. All of our teachers are volunteers and i will tell you .that most of them had never taught before. They have a heart and just share that with their students and it goes so well!! I stressed for months before I took this job and thought what if I am not good enough and wont say the right things and they wont actually learn anything from me. What I see is that the most important thing is that you are making them feel loved and welcome and the rest will come naturally. Thank you for your sweet message and God bless you in your new role. I know you will do great :)❤️
@@eb8645 I have realized that if you want to do well in this you will!! The students will know be able to tell how much you care :) you don’t have to be perfect! Just do your best and things will fall in to place and they will learn every time they meet with you :) also you are showing them that you are happy that they are here and that is wonderful :) thank you for what you are doing :)
Hi Chris, thanks for all your great videos and pointers. I often teach 1 to 1 and I'm struggling to adapt everything. Could you give some pointers about that situation? Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much, I am from Cuba and I found your grammar videos so informative and practical. I feel so much comfortable teaching grammar points now! Please continue!
Thanks for the tips. I think exactly the same as the projection of being prepared in the video and I hope I get it all done for my first lesson to young adults as a teacher:))
Hi Chris, Thank you for such an informative video. I have learnt very useful tips from your videos. I did my CELTA 4yrs ago and never got to teach nor practice my ESL skills. I'm now ready to for the challenge so am following your videos as a refresher course. I haven't come across the one with detailed Lesson plan, which I always struggled to be honest. I'll appreciate if you could create one video on it, I'm sure there are more new teachers out there having similar problem. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
Great video man! I'm going to have my first lesson tomorrow as a teacher and ngl I was excited and a bit nervous about it. However, I'm a lot more confident now after watching this video, so huge thanks.
Thanks. Very helpful! I am thinking about teaching something voluntarily at the school library using my special knowledge. People often enjoy hearing about cool stuff I have studied so I thought this could help if I want to officially try teach it to someone.
Hello professor Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time. Your follower from Algeria.
Well, I had a lot of FIRST LESSONS i still don't know how I did it I still have a day and a month to be a real teacher but thank you Mr.Chris I really searched around the internet and finally decided to see the RUclips and your vids and tips are really helpful I'm really grateful for you thank you
Biggest tip is getting comfortable in front of your camera. Have your camera slightly facing down, too. It gives a better perspective. And get used to looking at the camera lense, to communicate better with your audience. You’ll also want to make sure your audio sounds clear. Lastly try to have an interesting background.
Hi Chris ! I just adore your videos!!! They really inspire (especially when I run out of energy or desire to create something engaging for my students I always watch one of your recent videos and voila the super 👌 cool lesson is ready!!! I've got a question about homework or home assignments:do you give your students any h/w?
HW is pretty important for the learning process. There’s only so much a student can learn from a few hours a week in the classroom. So, yes! Whatever you can give them that’s fun and gets them working on the language is great. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Mr. Chirs tomorrow I have an interview about English language teaching at primary Schools , So I will explain simple present tense, what the main point should I put in my mind about this subject? Please reply me 🙏
Thank you for the video. I do have some questions though. What level are these tips for? I realize many of them are general but something that stood out to me was when you mentioned 'dress up', I can't really think of a place or an age group where this would be appropriate except maybe preschool. Another concern of mine is the line between being the teacher, as the 'authority' figure and as the students' friend. I truly believe it's important to set a clear boundary that even though you may be friendly at times you are still the HEAD of the class. Any thoughts on this?
1.Dress up = Dress well 2. Leaders generally don’t tell people they are leaders. If your teaching and classroom management is at skilled up, they will naturally follow your lead. However, it’s not a bad idea to go over goal/expectations during the first day
@@TheLanguageHouseTEFL thank you for the answer. 1. Sorry I was thinking about "play dress up". 2. I would rather err on the side of having boundaries than not. I've seen teachers playing it cool lose respect real quick with younger students (teens for example). I realize this has to do with context, I'm just speaking from experience. I do appreciate your suggestions as they are a reminder to losen up every now and then. 👍
hello sir chris , really gained a lot of teaching knowledge and skills from your video, i want to ask that how do you select topic to teach the learners? do u have any course book or you just select by yourself according to their level?
Well it probably depends on where you teach. I teach at a private business english academy, and each level has its own methods and duration, so as im starting by teaching beginners, they gave me the book and with each unit they give me a guide to lead me on how to present my lessons and courses but i still have the freedom to choose any topic i want thats related ofc to the lesson and the level of students/learners :)
Chris, great advice! Do you teach a course yourself? Are your courses available online? I want to find a good TEFL certification course but it has to be online because I am currently disabled. I'd like to be prepared to start to teach once I am able to go back to work. Thanks again for all these great tips! Many thanks from North TX, US of A

And get used to looking at the camera lense, to communicate better with your audience. You’ll also want to make sure your audio sounds clear. Lastly try to have an interesting background.

"check room at least 24 hours before your first lesson" I wish I could have, but my plane didn't even land 24 hours before my first lesson, haha
