This unit has taught me what the basic commitments and requirements that exist for an english teacher are. The teacher must have a wide array of talents and be sensitive to the many elements of a classroom or tutorial environment. Sensitive to the age and skill level of a student, and to how confident and motivated they are. A certain student may require a more tender approach and need to be encouraged more often, whereas another may not want to be babied and treated as an equal.
A teacher must have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject so he can answer any questions that may be asked and so he can interact in a 100% effective way with the students. A teacher must have a good awareness of each student in the class and be ready to adapt his approach if it seems necessary. This may mean opting for group activities at a certain moment, or taking more control and assuming the 'manager'role.
Overall, one must be very proactive to be a good teacher, because teaching environments can vary endlessly and one must have a good intuitive knowledge of the profression so they can adapt.
