Time

Managing time before, during, and after class is a key part of preparation. Being prepared for class makes you more confident as a teacher and shows your students you care.

Being Professional

Truly being confident in ones leadership is a big role in success. I also learned to watch the way instructors dress, conduct themselves, speak, and manage their time.
