3. Submit your work on time โฐ
Handing in your work on time shows your teacher that youโre responsible and take your learning seriously. ๐
When students submit their work late, it can be frustrating for teachers because it delays them from being able to assess the work for the whole class in one go. โ
Making the effort to submit your work on time proves that you respect your teacher’s time, making a good impression. โจ
If you ever need more time, be honest and tell your teacher ahead of time to avoid frustrating them. ๐
4. Show respect and be polite ๐ค
When students are rude or disruptive, it can make the day stressful for your teacher. ๐ช๏ธ
On the other hand, positive, polite students can make your teacher’s day. ๐ป
Being respectful and polite impresses your teacher because it shows you have good manners and a positive attitude.
Being polite helps you to build a good relationship with your teacher, makes the classroom a better place, and shows that you value their time and effort. ๐
To impress your teacher, always be polite, listen when they speak, and follow classroom rules. โ
A friendly attitude can go a long way in creating a good impression with your teacher. โ๏ธ
5. Ask for feedback and improve ๐ฑ
Teachers want to feel like their students value their advice and suggestions on how to improve. ๐
Asking for feedback and working to improve shows your teacher that you care about learning and want to do your best. ๐
The more that you improve in your work, the better your teacher will look to the rest of the school. ๐
By working hard to improve at school, it proves youโre willing to listen, take advice, and put in the effort to get better, which makes a great impression. โ
So, whenever you’ve handed in an assignments, make sure to ask for feedback. ๐ค
Teachers appreciate students who want to listen to their advice, develop their skills and grow academically. ๐งโ๐
6. Be organised and manage your time ๐๏ธ
Being organised helps you stay on top of your work and shows your teacher that you are responsible.
If a teacher asks you about a piece of work, it can be impressive to show them that you have a plan ready to complete it. ๐
To help stay organised, you could use a planner or calendar to keep track of homework, tests, and important dates. ๐
Keeping track of your school work can help you feel less stressed and more prepared, whilst impressing your teacher at the same time. โจ
7. Be positive and enthusiastic ๐
A positive attitude can be contagious and encourage the whole classroom to be more positive. โ๏ธ
Show enthusiasm for your lessons, and your teacher will notice. ๐
Whether itโs showing excitement for a subject or smiling when you walk into class, positivity creates a welcoming environment and can help to impress your teacher. ๐
8. Take initiative and go above and beyond ๐
To impress your teacher, try to go the extra mile in your studies.
Whether itโs doing extra reading, helping a classmate, or participating in after-school activities, going above and beyond can really help to impress your teacher.
9. Thank your teacher ๐
Thanking your teacher with a kind word, a card, or a small gift shows that you appreciate their hard work and effort. ๐
It makes a good impression because it shows that you’re being respectful, thoughtful, and that you genuinely appreciate the support that they give you.
