I got accepted into my first teaching job as a teacher at a Marines school near me and I'm watching this because my anxiety is getting the best of me rn, i hope this can help me for tomorrow

[jondicsre]

I almost quit before I started, thank you for these basic tips that I can work with and work on.

A week from today will be my first day teaching all by myself. I'm an ESL student and I'll be working for my university this term. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time.
Thanks for the advice, Chris!!

I just got offered and accepted a teaching position at my local college as an electrical instructor. I’m super hyped and start August 10th. Thanks for this video!

[ajengingritmusdalifa]

thank you chris, I am so nervous for my first time of teaching

[juliaevans]

This has been the most valuable video I have watched in the last 2 days of prepping for a potential IT Tutor role. Experienced in teaching one to one, not so much of groups. You have built my confidence a great deal !

[hibzhiba]

Please Chris keep on making similar videos. Yesterday was my first teaching lesson, it was a success. You were my trainer, I've watched your teaching videos and tips on teaching several times. For my planning I've followed you lessons structure. Your class demos where the best and most useful to me. Can you please make a video on inclusive teaching and differentiation.

[allanalbergue]

Thanks for this useful and resourceful video. I’m starting a side job as an English tutor tomorrow and I love the confidence that you portrait when explaining. I will let you all know how it goes after my first class.

Thanks a lot for this video really make me realize for what actually the problems that I should solve for my teaching in class. Just about one month being english teacher. And very tough enough for me because never had any experience in teaching before. Thanks a million sir

[kaysbeautyplace]

Absolutely amazing pointers. Thank you so much for this. I love how you explain 🤗

[lesleyhand]

This was the best possible explanation! It's time for the show! Know your part, and deliver, with room for adlibs and improvisation!!! Creating games for elementary students is still most challenging for me, though.

[MsErika]

Wow this is so helpful! I am volunteering at our church to teach beginning ESL for adults. I really want to do a good job for them. I am not a teacher! I will be binging your videos! Let me know if you have certain videos I should watch. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us :)

Hi Mr Chris you have no idea how much this video was helpful as a teacher who has just started his career I have learned lots of interesting tips and things which I had no idea about before, I believe you are one of the most successful teachers and your students must be lucky to have such a great teacher like you Greeting

[shamsasheekhhassan]

Thank you for teaching us the right way you are really doing same as you saying

[lanlin]

Hi Chris, thanks for all your great videos and pointers. I often teach 1 to 1 and I'm struggling to adapt everything. Could you give some pointers about that situation? Thanks in advance!

[atheralshehry]

Well, I had a lot of FIRST LESSONS i still don't know how I did it I still have a day and a month to be a real teacher but thank you Mr.Chris I really searched around the internet and finally decided to see the YouTube and your vids and tips are really helpful I'm really grateful for you thank you

[AaBb-ltlo]

After watching this video, am even more than ready to go for an interview. Thank you teacher

[umm-salmaadam]

Hi Chris, Thank you for such an informative video. I have learnt very useful tips from your videos. I did my CELTA 4yrs ago and never got to teach nor practice my ESL skills. I'm now ready to for the challenge so am following your videos as a refresher course. I haven't come across the one with detailed Lesson plan, which I always struggled to be honest. I'll appreciate if you could create one video on it, I'm sure there are more new teachers out there having similar problem. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
