What interests you
What bores you
What motivates you
Be flexible
Challenge the students
Keep in mind yours and the students' limitations
Be creative
Engage the students
Allow them to be kids
Be firm
Be patient
Allow yourself to be a kid
Not all will like you
The students are people
You are people too
Above all else...
Enjoy what you do and have fun. Short of being slowly gummed to death by slobbering, toothless, senile old people, not much is worse than a teacher who doesn't want or like teaching.
