The quality of someone’s teaching does not just refer to how much information they manage to get into their student’s heads or the results that they produce. It also refers to their technique (技巧) and presentation. Many teachers have much knowledge that would be greatly useful to students, but they have no idea of how to express it. Great teaching often has less to do with wisdom and skills, but more to do with their attitude to their students, their subject and their work. This article explains the top four characteristics (品质) of great teachers, and how to put them into your own lessons.
1. Passion (激情). Without truly loving what you do, it is impossible to be really good at what you do. If you don’t love your subject, then how can you expect your students to do the same? Never be afraid to show that you love what you are talking about, even if your students look at you like you are crazy when you discuss uninteresting things with a look of love in your eyes. Your passion and interest will soon produce a change in them.
2. Creativity (创造性). Students love a teacher who is able to make dull subjects more interesting by making up games. Simply teaching the given material to your students does make you a good teacher, but to be a great one, you have to be prepared to develop unique learning methods and custom lesson plans.
3. Flexibility (灵活性). If a student does badly on a test, then you have to be prepared to offer yourself to help them after school. Make yourself available (可找到的) whenever you are needed and make this information public so that the students who need the most help know that they can get it.
4. Connection (联系). You cannot possibly hope to teach well without having a connection with your students. A good connection needs to be built between yourself and each student that you teach. If you keep connection with them, the students will come to trust you, but you have to be interesting. It was mentioned before that you have to own true passion for your subject, but it should not be your only one. Take up hobbies such as writing, doing sports or playing a musical instrument. That way you will have something in common with the students which help to break down any barriers (障碍) in place by the student/teacher differences. You need to be able to connect with your students.
