Teaching online is easier and more effective when you have the confidence to be yourself!
When you teach online, it’s vital to let your real personality shine through.
Authenticity and honesty help to make a genuine connection with your students.
It’s a terrible idea to try and be something you’re not.
Your students don’t want to see a sweaty man in a tight jumpsuit impersonating a legend.
And pretending to be someone else is exhausting.
You stop being an online teacher and become an actor instead – in a role you’re not comfortable in (and even worse, maybe not prepared for).
Being your real self makes it easier for your students to give you the respect you deserve. It’s always pretty obvious when someone is being authentic rather than faking enthusiasm or expertise.
