I would like to start by first explaining what means to teach, which by a vague definition is to cause the student to learn and acquire the knowledge that is taught in the classroom to meet all the objectives that are previously set by the institution and by the teacher.

3 Strategies That Will Help Young Teachers to Increase Their Confidence - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
A confident teacher would have a positive impact on his or her students' achievement, attitude, effective and even socio-emotional growth (Wang, 2016).

Some teachers easily develop their confidence but some struggle to have it. In my 14 years of teaching, I have established the following principles in order to develop confidence, be it facing my students, dealing with their parents, communicating with my peers or even talking to my higher-ups.
