No matter if I teach online or face-to-face, I always try to prepare 30–40 minutes before the lesson starts. It honestly saves me from last-minute stress and helps the lesson feel smooth, calm, and enjoyable for both me and my student.
First, I always do my quick “teacher checklist”: good internet, working links, materials ready, tools open—everything I might use during the session. I like to have my slides, worksheets, games, and websites already prepared so I don’t waste lesson time searching for things or dealing with technical issues.
If the lesson is offline, it’s the same idea: I make sure my pens, books, flashcards, and any extra materials are ready and easy to reach. Small things like this make a big difference.
But honestly, the most important preparation is not the tools—it’s the mental preparation. Before every lesson, I try to get into a calm, positive mood and create a comfortable space for teaching. Students can feel your energy immediately, so I always remind myself to stay patient, friendly, and relaxed.
I also take a moment to think about my student: their personality, their level, and what kind of approach works best for them. Some students need structure, some need motivation, and some just need a safe space to practice without pressure.
And my golden rule?
✨ Start with free talk, end with something fun—a quick game, a mini quiz, or an interesting conversation topic.
It keeps the lesson light, engaging, and makes students leave feeling confident and excited to come back again.
