How to Be a Confident Teacher: 16 Tips to Unlock Your Potential
Video Overview & Insights
Confidence in the classroom is something that all teachers grapple with at some point in their teaching careers. I've trained thousands of teachers in my life and confidence (or lack thereof) can be a serious detriment to their growth as educators. So, how do you become more confident?
The intro bro, iam dead😂
In this confidence series, we cover 16 tips on how to be more confident in the classroom. Even if you struggle with confidence and your role as a teacher, by applying these tips, you will naturally look confident to your students. This dynamic starts a positive feedback loop. You look confident, so your class responds to you better. Because they respond to you better, you become more self-assured - and so on.

I have to continue working as a teacher for now. I'm very unprepared and I got a job at a small particular school. Until I can be replaced, I'm there! Don't like working with this anymore becuse I realized that I'm doing really bad job! 😢
So, until they find another person to put in my place I'm trying to become the best teacher I can. Starting now learning with all the time I still have!
If I improve enough, maybe I can continue with this.
Let's see what happens
I have two days to the next class (and today's half)

@عيسىالضو-ث9كTeaching is the hardest things 😁 thanks 👍
@عيسىالضو-ث9كI'm a 17-year-old teacher, but my students are so rude, maybe because of my age. Their constant talking makes it hard to focus, and our office expects us to make them understand. I hope one day I’ll look back and laugh at this.
@3Quickfactsshe has gorgeous eyes
@BrentNunez-h1lIm a 16 year old substitute English teacher, I started almost a week ago and i feel like it is getting better day by day
@carterisworkingI'm applying to be a teacher but I overthink a lot if this profession is for me or not. I'm an antisocial person and introvert, and I'm struggling to gain some confidence. Praying that I will become a Teacher and confident. I will go back to this comment if ever I've become a confident and effective Teacher already.
@divinegracelicos829Thx❤

@güzelbir1kanalFirst step: change gender)
@juanchosevastianWhere is part two?
@KristinaBarisanoDISYou are relly perfect teacher i ever seen✨️
@zaramollaei4571These are perfect tips, and "knowing/mastering the subject that you are teaching always, always worked for me. My students in high school and at the university where I teach as an adjunct love it when they see that I know what the heck I'm teaching and make them part of the studies and subject at hand. Benefits both of us.
@henrycampbell9733I'm off to Prague doing celta. In August. I might drop in. You have the vibe of a teacher celebrity
@iandavis6952❤
@dollslifefiction3681Wonderful👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@ParniaPajouheshVery good tips! ❤
@vermont741Very good! Thank you!
@pomfrittbroccoliMore knowledge makes it better.
@teacher_MehmetAlbayrakOmg I feel so dumb right now T.T I wish I watched this video before starting to teach, I am an extremely introverted person and I am struggling with the teaching thing wondering if I can actually be a good teacher :( you described me exactly how I think the students look me sometimes in the first clip, and it´s embarrasing to admit it bc I keep self-sabotaging instead of trying to be more confident. Thank you for the video, there are some points I still need to improve like the tone of the voice, the confidence and the last tip is a gem tbh, I am going to put it on practice, I always study and review my lessons but I think I still need to study even more in order to become like the queen in the topic lmao, thank u for the video!!!
@krismr21i'm currently 16 and i've been hired by one of my ex-teachers to help her during english tutoring (i'm self taught, so doing all the explaining can be both hard and exhausting when dealing with children). i currently struggle a bunch with keeping 9-10 year olds engaged in class. i noticed i might be lacking presence or even authority in the classroom (which hinders the quality of the classes) so these tips are great! thank you for this video :)
@joyapatriciadeamorI tried teching in a language centre for a year and a half and despite learning to project a confident facade never got comfortable with it, just became more insecure and toxic. Taking a break for now, dunno if it's even worth it 🤨
@pesky_beeThank you so much for these- I start teaching on Wednesday and confidence is really the only thing I’m worried about- the thought of being observed😩 thanks!
@lucytaylor8315I love this first time experience
@agnesskaoma9599Love this😊
