I'm an ESL teacher but I get really anxious and nervous when it comes to activities, I have absolutely no creativity and I don't know how to improve myself with that. Your channel helps me a lot and I thank you for that ✨
Planning ahead is probably the biggest takeaway from this list even though every item in this list is a tremendous nugget of golden knowledge. Thank you for being a teacher of teachers and for being so passionate about your craft.
I am still a very young teacher. It's been only two years since I am in teaching. My first year went really in struggling. 😪 Now it's fine. Much better than before.
You're destined to become a great teacher Sayma. I'm not just saying that. You work really hard and you're constantly improving your teaching. I can't wait to see how powerful you'll become. 👍
I am a first year teacher, I second guess every decision and get so anxious before every class. My students are from 7 to 11 years old, they get angry or violent all the time, they don't listen, and I try so hard to respond (with patience and love) and not react, but when I get home I cry a lot because I believe I can't handle it or I'm not good enough. I already gave up a class. But I'll try these tips to keep going. Thank you!
good luck, you will make it.Hang in there! 😊 Teaching can be tough, especially in the first year. But you're already so brave for trying. Your efforts to respond with patience and love are amazing. Remember, every teacher has challenges. You're not alone. Keep going and you'll get better. 💪🏻🙌🏻
I love how integrated your perspective is pointing out that a teacher must have respect for both herself and her students, and that caring for both parties is essential not only to being a good teacher, but also a happy human!
This really hit my mind, esppecially Don't react, I react to my students' questions and request too quickly, they soon somehow think me a person who is easily give in.
I'm from Brazil and I'm studying English Teaching. To be honest, I'm very shy, that's why I just subscribed to your channel. I need to build up more confidence as a teacher.
I once had to sit in on a class to get to know how the school works and the teacher only had two months experience. She had troubles getting the students to participate like she wanted them to, so after class, I explained a method that has always worked for me. I had a set of Greek alphabet cards and I would assign the students a Greek letter (alpha, beta, gamma, etc.). I then pulled a card from my pocket and then called on the student. Then I set it aside and pulled the next card. That way, participation is not a big problem and teachers don't play favorites. I explained this much like you are explaining your methods and she thanked me for my advice. She then reported me for harassment.
@@etacude I was fired. I wish I were joking. That place was a nightmare to work at, anyway. The management was very dishonest, too. I tried suing them, but that didn't work. Oh, well. That's in the past. There's nothing I can do about it.
Oh no! I wasn´t expecting that end to the story!! I think of the poor children who have that person as a teacher now...by the way your advice seems really good for me!
In two weeks I will start teaching high school students for the first time and your video is exactly what I have been looking for👍👍👍definitely follow all of them
Good luck Mira! The fact that you're looking up information to be better in class shows that you'll be a great teacher. 👍 Be strong and lead your students to success.
I only have a week to prepare for my first "formal" TEFL teacher and your videos are so helpful! I've learned so much in just a day! Can't thank you enough!
Oh my god this really hit home for me :') The Imposter Syndrome is real. However I disagree about working on weekends. If you can't finish them during working hours they're not simple enough, or you're being overworked. You should always consider work-life balance.
This was super useful. Not only the advices, for which I am very grateful, but also hearing you mentioning all those overwhelming questions at the beginning of the video, as I felt understood for the first time... Love your energy, thank you for this content
It's true Eric. A confident teacher would have a positive impact on his or her students' achievement, attitude, affective and even socio-emotional growth. Thus, a confident teacher makes a big difference in the life of the students who will be confident too eventually.
Definitely Ruperto! We usually only gain confidence as we get experience in the classroom. Hopefully some of these ideas can new teachers feel more confident in their classes.
Thank you for the question Maria 😃. The fact is, we will never be 100% sure that we are making the right decisions in class. But, you've got to back yourself that as the person in charge you have the best experience and knowledge to do the right thing. So believe in yourself and use these tips to help you realize that quicker. 👍
I really search for this topic because I'm an aspiring teacher. Thank you for your advices. Hope i will become a great teacher to my future students. Definitely helpful! Wish me luck. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for covering imposter syndrome! I’ve developed it and even though I’m doing great I feel like it’s not me? Like they must be seeing something unclearly because I feel incompetent.
Why did I miss this video! Thank you!! I must acknowledge that I received an award for being creative last session and it happened just after following your channel. This pandemic brought me to your channel and taught and showed me the right way.
@@etacude Hey Eric, I'd loove if you could talk about where you were in the beggining aka what it was like for you when you began teaching; your obstacles and how you overcame them. It's not everyday you come across someone such as yourself who has such expertise in his field👨🏫🥇🎉It's nice to witness someone else's growth especially when you're at a low place yourself. ☺ I am going to join your FB group for teacher support, soon. I have quite the plethora of horrible experiences 😂🤣. Anyways, another topic I'd love to learn about is an example of your lesson planning, if possible. How do you take learners through the lesson (warmers, presentation, production etc). For example a lesson in Eng Lit. I really feel overwhelmed about lesson planning and sometimes I will take a weekend just to plan one short lesson. 🙈 Thanks so much Xx
What a wonderful reply! 😃 I'll make that the topic for this Sunday's livestream. Since it's almost the new year I'll look back at my experience as a teacher, the difficulties and successes I have had and also then look towards where I want to be in the future. There have been a few people asking about lesson planning so I'll definitely do a BIG video on it probably by February. I look forward to sharing some ideas that might help because I know how it feels when we struggle in class. That feeling of drowning in the work, classroom management and mental stress teaching takes on us. Bushra thank you for your support and I hope to make some videos that can help you be a better teacher. 😍
@@etacude Yay! I can't wait for that live, what a treat! 😆🤗 I regard you as a mentor and it'll be such an inspiration to hear about your journey, thank you. I can't wait to implement all that I have learnt from you in the New Year and reporting back on my progress.
Thank you so much for your helpful tips .I'm a novice teacher this year I will teach for the first time and I'm a bit worried about my lack of self confidence and being nervous most of time . Thanks again
This channel is a goldmine. Thanks for the useful advice. I have a question: what do you do with aggressive student or students who get up and leave in a fit? I never lost my temper and I’m stoic in my approach. I teach refugee students and they can sometimes really snap out of the blue because of ptsd and traumatic past experiences.
Thank you so much for this video. It’s like you read my mind. I’ve put a side teaching for a while and started taking classes again to stay up to date in my field since I was under a lot of stress having too much groups to teach and somehow I was feeling I was just not enjoying teaching anymore, and I even thought I had chosen the incorrect career, but now that I’m not teaching I miss it and think I just needed to feel more confident, less work and have clear objectives in my lessons, it was just too much work in a journey. Teachers here in Mexico don’t get well paid in private schools, so I ended working giving private lessons instead, and this also helped me a lot to reduce stress. Thank you very much for your tips!
Hi Eric thanks for ur valuable tips. I've started part-time teaching for a sem in tw. I'm a dusk skin person. I've faced some discrimination from the students' parents many times. that kinda resonates with my kids too. I've seen my class kids behavior in other classes. they indeed behave well. I love teaching. however, I feel so discouraged many times recently and these attitudes hurt me a lot and mentally impact me. I've tried so many techniques yet students not paying attention and being quite rude. pls give me some tips to manage the class and my mind. I started to questioning should i change the professon
Thank you for your kind words Elsa! Teacher mindset is important, but I'll also do videos on teaching skills. What is something you have trouble with in your class?
@@etacude my biggest difficulty it has been my lack of confidence. I've always been so demanding with myself that I even think I should know all the subjects and shouldn't study or plan my classes.
I'm actually so happy to hear that you are pushing yourself so hard to be a good teacher. Just remember, give yourself permission to make mistakes. You've got this idea that you have to be perfect, when in fact none of us are. So the next time you don't know the answer to a question, just tell the students: "Sorry, I'm not sure what the answer is. Let me look it up later and I'll get back to you tomorrow." Be okay with not being perfect :)
@@etacude Thank you so much!! Your words are really important to me. In fact, your videos have helped me a lot. I have started teaching adults (which I prefer, than children) this year and, luckily, I found your videos before I started. I have changed my posture overnight thanks to you. Excellent job, Eric! Enormous gratitude! 🤗🤗
Ensure that students are given leadership roles that enable them to work together in groups to present information to teach other students. They will feel confident and want to participate
I am a senior teacher at The Kidzone Academy in Sierra Leone. I need advice or techniques to manage a classrom that has been out of hand for years due to non consistency of a teacher who was in charge of that class. Thank you
That's a tough one Salifou. I would suggest a total restart with rules and procedures. Then apply those procedures and rules until the students follow them completely. I did a video on classroom procedures. I would suggest establishing some for your classes.
This is useful , I'm thrilled that I found ur chanel 💛 It's my 13th day in teaching and Im so depressed that I lost controll of time and classroom management to the extent that I decided to quit teaching though I like it . I'm still extremely hesitated about quiting or moving on 😑
Every teacher has had those feelings. There are some tough classes with difficult students and you got thrown into the deep end. Just remember that it will get easier. - Or rather, you will become stronger. On this channel I try to share some ideas and techniques that may help, but ultimately you have to become stronger to deal with the problems students give you. Here are 2 of my videos I would like to suggest if you haven't watched them yet: First Day of Class - ruclips.net/video/elsMvsGoBsE/видео.html Classroom Rules ruclips.net/video/u_XktSMKaNM/видео.html I hope these help and good luck with your classes. Whether you quit or not is up to you, just know that you have the support and understanding of millions of teachers that have been where you were before.
I am soon starting my new journey as a teacher I am already freaking out! Just out of curiosity does our physical appearance matter like I am very petite individual and I fear my students might not take me seriously? Thanks 🙏
Hi Jaz. You'll be fine. It's all about your presence, communication and rules that you implement in class. Smile, be patient and let them know that you are the leader in class. Everything will be fine. Good luck! 😊
Ahhh, I just found your channel now! I hope I did find you earlier. Thank you for these amazing tips for becoming the best teachers we can be! I learned a lot from this video, it summarized well the attributes of a good teacher. One of the tips that I value most is the reason why I want to become a confident teacher. It is because I want to give it to myself and reflect it to my students. As teachers, we are the best instructional aid that the students have! Thank you again!
I've been working as a teacher since October (last year) and I'm only 19 years old so this is very helpful. Thank you very much! I had seen a recoding of a recent class and I was reacting to one of a student's story, i definitely needed your advice. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
Good idea recording yourself, Melissa. That way you can see your errors and what to work on. I am busy creating a video that I think will help a lot of teachers with classroom management. I'll release it in 2 or 3 weeks. Good luck with your classes! 👍😃
your videos are amazing and so is your pronouciation. i am going to be an english teacher and do not have any experiance. would you make a video about how to start teaching beginners(adults) including tips_ strategies_topics...etc. thank you for your helpful videos.
Thank you for your kind words! I'll definitely do a series of videos of adult teaching in the future. Right now I'm busy with some other content but I'll get to it eventually. ^^ If you have any questions you can catch my weekly video every Sunday at 11gmt.
@@sallysmile1053 And I'll work hard to make good content! The next video is about reading activities to use in class. I think it has some helpful ideas for adults too. :)
I teach adult ESL classes (Literacy and spoken English) and the hours are 930 am until 3pm. That is a really long day. I plan lessons with activities, videos etc based on a topic. I often feel i have not got the perfect timing to stretch the lesson over those hours. Do you have tips for this kind of lengthy duration of teaching ESL?
Thank you so much. You are one of the best teachers out there, you helped me very much with my English. please more videos! and I wanted to ask, if you could add English subs to your videos. again, thank you so much.
Hi Pam, because you asked so nicely I'll start to add English subtitles to popular videos. 😆 Recently I've only made Activity videos but soon I will post more about confidence and teaching in general. 😃 Thank you so much for your support!
Hi.I will start my first experience as a teacher this week.Im a bit afread.but I will follow your advices.please Id like to ask you if its possible in my first day of teaching to talk about the important of the Modul.
Modul? I guess that you either mean the syllabus or modeling in the classroom? Whatever it is ~ You talk about what you think is important. It is your class and you make the rules. 😊👍
@@idurardjurdjura8368 It's very important for the students to know what is expected of them and to prepare them for the semester ahead. I would share the main points, assessments and dates with them, but don't go too much into specifics otherwise you will overwhelm or bore them.
Thank you for your nice ideas and support. I really value the following tips as not to react but respond and embrace criticism but not negativity. I also find it useful to ask my students to have a book to read in case ... Regards, Ülle
Having many activities in tool box and very careful, meticulous planning and clear structure prevent many issues. If kids know what is expected and the activities are structured thoroughly, it is easier to prevent problems. The issue is students do not want to be in school because they have horrible parents. Good luck!
Which rules i have to follow it in order to show them i am hear
3 года назад
Thank you Body Image really resonated with me as well as React instead of responding. Still having trouble getting up to speed with planning, because of other factors.
I have listened to your advice and all of them are definitely very essential and not only this video. Other ones are also very important. Thank you from me ❤ დიდი მადლობა ❤
I was listening to you talking about reaction and I thought: if a student tries to get the teacher's attention (for whatever reason) and the teacher doesn't give it to them, wouldn't it be bad for the student-teacher relationship? As in "Oh, miss Smith's ignoring me, so I'll ignore her!", for example
Hi Lilia, good question. There's a difference between responding to a student's legitimate question and giving them attention and care, and a student who pushes you for a reaction. You can feel it in your gut, if a student asks for help and you know it's because they require assistance, it feels good. If a student is abusing their privilege of asking you questions or provoking reactions... you'll feel uneasy or upset. Follow your instinct and don't let learners mess with you just to shoft the power dinamic in their favor. I hope you understand. 😄

I'm also same as like as you I already left one job for this reason
cant be worse than my history teacher in high school - she just could not do anything - read so and so book - would be better if I actually read something about middle ages or something
in primary school my history teacher was pushing for nationalism - at least she was doing something (maybe even right thing)
compared to my literature/grammar teacher - nobody speaks when we did sit down - only dare to ask question by rasing hand - perhaps
being an introvert and a teacher in the same time is a nightmare.
That's right. If we are introverted we have to adapt and take the lead for the sake of our students. 👍

🤗🤗
Thank you for your kind words Elsa! Teacher mindset is important, but I'll also do videos on teaching skills. What is something you have trouble with in your class?
@@etacude my biggest difficulty it has been my lack of confidence. I've always been so demanding with myself that I even think I should know all the subjects and shouldn't study or plan my classes.
@@etacude I feel like I got the Imposter Syndrome you referred.
I'm actually so happy to hear that you are pushing yourself so hard to be a good teacher. Just remember, give yourself permission to make mistakes. You've got this idea that you have to be perfect, when in fact none of us are. So the next time you don't know the answer to a question, just tell the students: "Sorry, I'm not sure what the answer is. Let me look it up later and I'll get back to you tomorrow." Be okay with not being perfect :)
@@etacude Thank you so much!! Your words are really important to me. In fact, your videos have helped me a lot. I have started teaching adults (which I prefer, than children) this year and, luckily, I found your videos before I started. I have changed my posture overnight thanks to you.
Excellent job, Eric! Enormous gratitude! 🤗🤗
Excellent!
Thanks A ton🙏🏻
Thanks Eric! You're amazing!
From Philippines..
Awesome, thanks 🙏🏽
You're welcome DracO AK!
Ensure that students are given leadership roles that enable them to work together in groups to present information to teach other students. They will feel confident and want to participate
Thank you so much I learned how to be a confident teacher especially from body language
I hope it helps! Let us know how your week goes if you are teaching. :)
@@etacude I am not yet a teacher but one day I will be a teacher. For that I am learning

Thank you Eiman Eiman!
I am a senior teacher at The Kidzone Academy in Sierra Leone. I need advice or techniques to manage a classrom that has been out of hand for years due to non consistency of a teacher who was in charge of that class.
Thank you
That's a tough one Salifou. I would suggest a total restart with rules and procedures. Then apply those procedures and rules until the students follow them completely.
I did a video on classroom procedures. I would suggest establishing some for your classes.
Here is a video on some classroom rules and procedures you can establish within your class.

I wish I had had these advises when I started to teach ! It would have helped so much!
It's still going to be useful.
Thank you so much.
I would be so happy if it helps! Teachers need all the help we can get. 😄

Haha! Thank you for your kind comment, Mira! ^^
Hello from Ukraine.
Thank you so much for your great work.
Your advice sounds like a commandment. They give us braveness in our important issue.
Thank you so much and welcome!
Thank you, this is great help.
Thank you so much for this, your channel is everything.
Comments like yours make me excited to share more videos! 😊😄
I really needed this! ❤️ thank you.
Happy to help Ma'Kayla! 😊
All tips shared are pretty knowledgeable and i have felt them have while teaching. I appreciate your teaching methodology.
Glad to hear that, Psgawal! I'll be making a big new video soon that covers everything about classroom management. 👍
This is useful , I'm thrilled that I found ur chanel 💛
It's my 13th day in teaching and Im so depressed that I lost controll of time and classroom management to the extent that I decided to quit teaching though I like it . I'm still extremely hesitated about quiting or moving on 😑
Every teacher has had those feelings. There are some tough classes with difficult students and you got thrown into the deep end. Just remember that it will get easier. - Or rather, you will become stronger. On this channel I try to share some ideas and techniques that may help, but ultimately you have to become stronger to deal with the problems students give you. Here are 2 of my videos I would like to suggest if you haven't watched them yet:
First Day of Class - ruclips.net/video/elsMvsGoBsE/видео.html
Classroom Rules
ruclips.net/video/u_XktSMKaNM/видео.html
I hope these help and good luck with your classes. Whether you quit or not is up to you, just know that you have the support and understanding of millions of teachers that have been where you were before.
@@etacude Thanks for reply! I really appreciate it .
I'll watch as much as I can of ur videos and try ur advice.
You're the best. It is on of the best motivational video I've watched so far😍
Thank you so much for watching, Dreamy girl! ☺️🙏
Thank you so much!
I am soon starting my new journey as a teacher I am already freaking out! Just out of curiosity does our physical appearance matter like I am very petite individual and I fear my students might not take me seriously?
Thanks 🙏
Hi Jaz.
You'll be fine. It's all about your presence, communication and rules that you implement in class.
Smile, be patient and let them know that you are the leader in class.
Everything will be fine. Good luck! 😊
@@etacude thanks for your encouragement 😊
Thanks
My pleasure Taiwo! 🙏
Thank you so much
Happy to help 😊
Thank you for watching! 🙏
Ahhh, I just found your channel now! I hope I did find you earlier. Thank you for these amazing tips for becoming the best teachers we can be! I learned a lot from this video, it summarized well the attributes of a good teacher. One of the tips that I value most is the reason why I want to become a confident teacher. It is because I want to give it to myself and reflect it to my students. As teachers, we are the best instructional aid that the students have! Thank you again!
Excellent AtinAngel and you're welcome!
Thanks thanks thanks....
You're very welcome, Benny! Good luck with your classes. 😃
Thank you sir for this tips ....they are very useful to me...
I hope it helps, Khmihbha. Good luck with your classes! 🙏
@@etacude thank you sir keep sharing your video...
Thanks for your help 🙏, how I can do if my students are competent in English speaking than I?? As a teacher?
Your channel is so good! Really great content!!
Thank you elfinzilla! I'll make more content soon that I hope may be useful for teachers out there. 😊
@@etacude Awsome! I'de love to hear you talk about teaching IELTS more!
I've been working as a teacher since October (last year) and I'm only 19 years old so this is very helpful. Thank you very much! I had seen a recoding of a recent class and I was reacting to one of a student's story, i definitely needed your advice. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
Good idea recording yourself, Melissa. That way you can see your errors and what to work on. I am busy creating a video that I think will help a lot of teachers with classroom management. I'll release it in 2 or 3 weeks. Good luck with your classes! 👍😃
your videos are amazing and so is your pronouciation. i am going to be an english teacher and do not have any experiance. would you make a video about how to start teaching beginners(adults) including tips_ strategies_topics...etc. thank you for your helpful videos.
Thank you for your kind words! I'll definitely do a series of videos of adult teaching in the future. Right now I'm busy with some other content but I'll get to it eventually. ^^ If you have any questions you can catch my weekly video every Sunday at 11gmt.
@@etacude thank you so much. i'll be faithful follower so :)
@@sallysmile1053 And I'll work hard to make good content! The next video is about reading activities to use in class. I think it has some helpful ideas for adults too. :)
I teach adult ESL classes (Literacy and spoken English) and the hours are 930 am until 3pm. That is a really long day. I plan lessons with activities, videos etc based on a topic. I often feel i have not got the perfect timing to stretch the lesson over those hours. Do you have tips for this kind of lengthy duration of teaching ESL?
Quite informative ❤
Thank you for watching, Malamal! 😊🙏
This is a Superb video with important tips,,! Thank you! I
Thank you for all your wonderful support Gloria! 🥰 Have a wonderful day.
What a fantastic list of tips. Thank you for this video, it's a great help.
Very happy if it helps. 😊
Thank you for watching, Agnieszka!
Thanks for the teaching
I hope it's useful, Joy! 😃
Thank you so much. You are one of the best teachers out there, you helped me very much with my English. please more videos! and I wanted to ask, if you could add English subs to your videos. again, thank you so much.
Hi Pam, because you asked so nicely I'll start to add English subtitles to popular videos. 😆
Recently I've only made Activity videos but soon I will post more about confidence and teaching in general. 😃
Thank you so much for your support!
Hi.I will start my first experience as a teacher this week.Im a bit afread.but I will follow your advices.please Id like to ask you if its possible in my first day of teaching to talk about the important of the Modul.
Modul?
I guess that you either mean the syllabus or modeling in the classroom?
Whatever it is ~ You talk about what you think is important. It is your class and you make the rules. 😊👍
@@etacude Thanks for your reply.Yes I mean the content and the important of the program.
@@idurardjurdjura8368 It's very important for the students to know what is expected of them and to prepare them for the semester ahead. I would share the main points, assessments and dates with them, but don't go too much into specifics otherwise you will overwhelm or bore them.
Thank you for your nice ideas and support. I really value the following tips as not to react but respond and embrace criticism but not negativity. I also find it useful to ask my students to have a book to read in case ...
Regards,
Ülle
Thank you for watching, Ulle!
I really appreciate the feedback. 😄🙏
Thank you so much ❤
Having many activities in tool box and very careful, meticulous planning and clear structure prevent many issues. If kids know what is expected and the activities are structured thoroughly, it is easier to prevent problems. The issue is students do not want to be in school because they have horrible parents. Good luck!
Which rules i have to follow it in order to show them i am hear
Thank you Body Image really resonated with me as well as React instead of responding. Still having trouble getting up to speed with planning, because of other factors.
thank you so much #9
Happy to share! 😊
thank God i've find u 😍 you're amazing 😍
Welcome Shanzay!
@@etacude 😍😍😍
I have listened to your advice and all of them are definitely very essential and not only this video. Other ones are also very important. Thank you from me ❤
დიდი მადლობა ❤
Thank you so much for your reply. Keep strong!
I was listening to you talking about reaction and I thought: if a student tries to get the teacher's attention (for whatever reason) and the teacher doesn't give it to them, wouldn't it be bad for the student-teacher relationship? As in "Oh, miss Smith's ignoring me, so I'll ignore her!", for example
Hi Lilia, good question.
There's a difference between responding to a student's legitimate question and giving them attention and care, and a student who pushes you for a reaction.
You can feel it in your gut, if a student asks for help and you know it's because they require assistance, it feels good.
If a student is abusing their privilege of asking you questions or provoking reactions... you'll feel uneasy or upset.
Follow your instinct and don't let learners mess with you just to shoft the power dinamic in their favor.
I hope you understand. 😄
@@etacude I do 😅 Thanks for your answer!
Awesome❤
