New Teachers! Getting into the classroom for your first lesson can be filled with anxiety and anticipation. Even with the right schooling and qualifications, most new teachers have no idea how to prepare for their first class. Check out the video for a full breakdown and walkthrough to make a great first impression and wow your new students.
This video focuses a lot on language teaching (ESL teachers), but it can be used for all educators, no matter what the subject is.
Let me know how your first lesson goes and if the video helped.

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.

@lenalee5516 3 года назад

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 :)

@bearifiablepau2095 2 месяца назад

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?

@TheLanguageHouseTEFL 2 месяца назад

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

@bearifiablepau2095 2 месяца назад

@@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. 👍

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.
