Planning and preparation are key to a students success. Little things to keep in mind as an instructor have great influences on student dynamics such as arriving to class early, knowing their names, and effectively communicating with them what their learning objectives should be when completing the class.
I have learned that greeting the students before class, by coming early, has a profound impact on your confidence level and preparedness.
Making students more aware of learning objectives in multiple places and with diverse mediums can ensure that students come into class with an in-depth understanding of what the course is going to entail. This will allow students to be more prepared which can help the teacher be more prepared to assist the students in their learning.
If you do not show & convince the students that you have passion for the subject.

A lot of students agree that it helps them focus their studying when they are at home.
