What are your strengths as a teacher?

7 years ago
Personally, I am able to plan a lesson into logical stages and procedures, although it was difficult for me at first. I am able to engage students with visuals to lead-into topics, give clear feedback, express lesson aims in a clear way and I can manage the timing. The way I set up the activities, convey meaning and listening stages is also effective.

Loving it and learning! If you keep on learning, researching, trying techniques and coming up with ideas to make your students love it, it is more likely you will succeed in helping them learn the language. Motivation is the starting point, of course, so give that a boost - the best way? Enjoy it yourself! If you get bored, your students will get bored.

I collect materials, try new techniques that I pick up from other teachers or create myself, and always work with your student - not against him! Don't fight, don't struggle. Pick up your student's learning style and and work on that. Educated intuition, I call it. Then, your lessons will pretty come up by themselves - be ready, though.

It's largely in the eye of the beholder, of course, but I think my students would say I'm more patient than the average person, a good (i.e., not excessively top-downy) listener, a stickler for immediate, heat-of-the-moment correction and generous with my time.
