I think that teaching does not comprise just the classrooms, board markers, exams and worksheets. The triumph of a teacher depends mainly on how he/she handles the students. Many instructors fall short in the teaching profession because they fail to understand people. I feel the following are the most imperitative parts towards developing rapport with your students. 1. Respect your students. The instructors demeanor should make the students feel comfortable. Your words should reflect your personality. 2. Sense of humor. A teacher must have this positive quality. If you can’t laugh in the class, something is really wrong. Sense of humor illuminates classrooms. Students tend to crave for such sessions. 3. Speak positively. An instructor is someone who can make a difference in students’ lives. 4. Knowledge is the key. An instructor is respected for his/her knowledge first. 5. Remember Names. Students love you when you remember their names. It gives a kind of personal touch to your teaching. 6. Say no to partiality. Always remain balanced. Keep your mind sensitive to the expectations of each student. While you teach, make sure you have perfect eye contact with all sections in the classroom. 7. Be a good instructor but strict. Never compromise on disciplinary issues. Your students must know what type of a teacher you are in spite of your friendliness. 8. Be what/who you are. Don’t imitate anybody or don’t present a wrong picture about your personality. Be quite honest with your personality. Stick to your inner voice and keep moving.
