It is a fearful experience to teach unmotivated students, the bigger the group the more it demands. This is like social phobia and benefits from the same treatment methods. The fear has nothing to do with the teacher's actual skills and he/she should never think that
he is inept. The best way is to go through the uncomfortable feelings, to confront the fear-provoking situation and not give up. Then the fear becomes weaker and weaker and finally is overcome. It takes time and courage but is worth it.
I personally experienced that the best way to avoid fear in teaching is good preparation and that you know the stuff you are going to teach.
Fear can be surmounted by maintaining psychological balance and focus, avoid side distractions. Adopt dialogue as teaching pattern.
For new or uncomfortable teachers, there are ways to improve your communication, classroom effectiveness and stress level when teaching. Overcoming fear of teaching is not about simply being tough. It is about preparation, confidence and effective communication skills. Instead of getting an ulcer over every lesson plan, learn and apply the skills you need to give your students the best education possible.
Prepare your lesson plans ahead of time. Review the assigned materials and make extensive notes about important points, themes or major ideas that you need to cover in class.
Depending on your level of comfort, you can write out a script for yourself, consisting of the exact words you need to say. That way you can read from your notes if you get nervous. Plan exercises, quizzes or in-class work to give if you become uncomfortable or flustered during class.
Dress professionally and comfortably. Wearing something that you don't usually wear like a suit and tie or nice dress can help you overcome fear that you might have in your regular clothes. Wearing teacher clothes is like donning a suit of armor, giving you confidence.
If the teaching methods are correct, they will reflect on the students since childhood, where they can learn through the early learning methods of teaching by mastering the art of shedding poetry, poems, literary sections and solving math problems, seminars, practical applications, even music, theater, The social activities of the school from an early age, which contribute to the construction of the integrated personality, and for some special cases, does not prevent the reading of some specialized books, there are the arts of teaching or participating in conferences, where the methods of presentation of the lecture, The intensity, focus, fashion dress, adapt to the place, the body signals appropriate, to control the rhythm of breathing methods .... much much, leading to overcome any potential concerns.
In retrospect, I overcame the fear in teaching by:
- Being well-prepared
- Reading books on teaching
- Attending training in teaching
- Watching master teachers teach
- Discussing teaching with colleagues
- Practice and self-reflection
By starting with simple lessons that could be understood by pupils after good preparation. Best regards
I never had fear to speak publicly but did encounter others who did. My observation is to Give your presentation in front of family and friends and ask for their input on how to improve.
Good preparation, great communication skill with the ability to come to the level of the type of students you are teaching per time.
Plan the class. Never get there just believing you can do it because you are experienced or that you can get there because you do not have much experience. And if your part is.done, conaider that you are there to leaen too. You will find questions without answers. Admit you do not know it and next time you will come with de desired answer.

Certainly preparation (as most people have said) and certainly practice (as many others have said). In preparing my first class years ago, I was very nervous but that went away after only about a week. Very soon, it became thrilling to look forward to a new group each semester! So I would like to add PATIENCE to the list, the patience to know that you will be able to overcome the fear in a very short time.
Try to make an eye contact with the students while you explaining material. Don't rush anything. Ask some questions, listen to some answers. Overall be self-confident in what you are doing in the moment. Don't stuck in one place near the board, move frequently and interact with the students as much as possible.
Just prepare well and have self confidence that you can teach your students.Thanks
Fear of teaching is overcome by actual teaching, by experiencing it and getting used to it.
Being a teacher comes after you have finished your graduate studies on a subject and you have collected years of experience from your teachers, yourself and other students. Therefore, you are ready to teach and I do not understand why you feel any kind of fear. Fear of a teacher comes when the teacher is not ready to teach and so you better go home and leave this work to someone else. Maybe, you will be excellent in something else and you should try to find it.
