How to Become a Self-Confident TEFL Teacher - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Self-confidence is not an easy trait to gain, especially when we talk about teachers. Self-confidence is obvious and easy to observe from all people, whether students or other teachers. When the teacher has a lack or weakness in self-confidence, their students or their coworkers will see that during the explanation, when she/he talks in front of the students and answering some questions in the class.
Creative Teacher = Confident Teacher
Prepared Teacher = Confident Teacher

How to Help Children Become a Strong Reader - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
As language acquisition through immersion goes, reading is positively amazing. Where movies may help with attitude and tone, reading allows us to see the words, form visual connections between them, and familiarise ourselves with spelling, punctuation, and structure. The best results, of course, are seen in readers who do it for pleasure, and for whom the point of reading is not simply to be done with it. How, then, do we get our children to read for fun when most of them seem to dread it?
Step One: Drop mandatory/standardized reading
Step Two: Make it social
Step Three: Accept differences
