I learnt that the learning environment is very important in being a good teacher. A comfortable classroom sets the tone for how the students are going perceive me and the way I teach

As an instructor, you have to always have a student-first approach in the classroom. Its all about the learning and how students will grasp the concept of what you are giving them

Create an atmosphere where students will be able to connect their life experiences to what is learnt in the classroom. Make them feel free to take risks, make mistakes in class and help them by correcting them in a caring way. Do not embarrass them for any reason but let them feel appreciated for their efforts 

As an instructor I  don't have to be perfect; I only have to be myself. Once I remember this, teaching becomes much easier and more enjoyable.

As an instructor, try not to be too serious all the time, students learn better in a fun environment. 

As an instructor, be willing  to listen to students, and let them be assured that you understand them and want to help them become successful
