I'm a teacher and I have anxiety. Sometimes, it really messes with my confidence. I am going to utilize these tips, thank you!

I’m a first year art teacher. This hit EVERY SINGLE thought in my head. I took notes, and am SO thankful you made this video!!!

I'm an ESL teacher but I get really anxious and nervous when it comes to activities, I have absolutely no creativity and I don't know how to improve myself with that. Your channel helps me a lot and I thank you for that ✨

Planning ahead is probably the biggest takeaway from this list even though every item in this list is a tremendous nugget of golden knowledge. Thank you for being a teacher of teachers and for being so passionate about your craft.

I am still a very young teacher. It's been only two years since I am in teaching. My first year went really in struggling. 😪 Now it's fine. Much better than before.

I love how integrated your perspective is pointing out that a teacher must have respect for both herself and her students, and that caring for both parties is essential not only to being a good teacher, but also a happy human!

I am a first year teacher, I second guess every decision and get so anxious before every class. My students are from 7 to 11 years old, they get angry or violent all the time, they don't listen, and I try so hard to respond (with patience and love) and not react, but when I get home I cry a lot because I believe I can't handle it or I'm not good enough. I already gave up a class. But I'll try these tips to keep going. Thank you!

I once had to sit in on a class to get to know how the school works and the teacher only had two months experience. She had troubles getting the students to participate like she wanted them to, so after class, I explained a method that has always worked for me. I had a set of Greek alphabet cards and I would assign the students a Greek letter (alpha, beta, gamma, etc.). I then pulled a card from my pocket and then called on the student. Then I set it aside and pulled the next card. That way, participation is not a big problem and teachers don't play favorites. I explained this much like you are explaining your methods and she thanked me for my advice. She then reported me for harassment.

In two weeks I will start teaching high school students for the first time and your video is exactly what I have been looking for👍👍👍definitely follow all of them

Thank you for taking the time to answer! That is exactly what is happening to me. I will follow your advice ☺

Oh my god this really hit home for me :') The Imposter Syndrome is real. However I disagree about working on weekends. If you can't finish them during working hours they're not simple enough, or you're being overworked. You should always consider work-life balance.

Thank you, Eric! You're so fantastic and amazing. Your 10 tips are the best ever to stay confident.

This was super useful. Not only the advices, for which I am very grateful, but also hearing you mentioning all those overwhelming questions at the beginning of the video, as I felt understood for the first time... Love your energy, thank you for this content

the 2end thought (don't react) just what i need ..thank you sir for this amazing work

Hi Eric thanks for ur valuable tips. I've started part-time teaching for a sem in tw. I'm a dusk skin person. I've faced some discrimination from the students' parents many times. that kinda resonates with my kids too. I've seen my class kids behavior in other classes. they indeed behave well. I love teaching. however, I feel so discouraged many times recently and these attitudes hurt me a lot and mentally impact me. I've tried so many techniques yet students not paying attention and being quite rude. pls give me some tips to manage the class and my mind. I started to questioning should i change the professon

This was really helpful I have my first class tomorrow and was kinda nervous but I’m getting confident now, thanks Eric! God bless you❤️

I'm a new teacher and I didn't know how to being a teacher and Now i know:) Thank you Sooooo much❤️❤️❤️God bless you

I only have a week to prepare for my first "formal" TEFL teacher and your videos are so helpful! I've learned so much in just a day! Can't thank you enough!
