Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas As with most situations in life, a teacher will run into a set of particular difficulties in the course of his/her career. Unruly students, elusive questions, challenges with the composition of the class in terms of level or age, difficulties adapting course books to the needs of the class, etc. It is up to the experienced teacher to decipher these situations and to see which possible fix to apply to them.
