No student wants to be called a teacher's pet or a nerd, but it is very helpful to make a good impression on the teacher. It's enough to make a good impression on the teacher, in as natural a way as possible, so that it doesn't seem artificial.
In a few simple steps you can improve the opinion of your teacher in front of you:
-
A positive attitude. Believe in yourself and your ability to get good grades. Then you will achieve them. Don't let others make you doubt yourself and pass on your positive attitude to your classmates.
-
The will to learn new things. Participate actively and with interest in the lessons. Speak up often, even if it is difficult, and answer the teacher's questions politely. You don't have to answer every question; on the contrary, only raise your finger when you have something to say. Many teachers are not dazzled by meaningless gibberish.
-
Do your homework. Prepare your homework carefully so that you do not stand out negatively. Not doing homework shows a lack of interest in the subject matter.
-
Learn. Unfortunately, a thorough mastery of the subject matter is essential if you want to get good grades, and good grades are ultimately what make you popular with the teacher.
-
Order and cleanliness. Respect not only your teacher but also your surroundings. Do not scribble on the desk. Keep your notebooks and textbooks in order; teachers appreciate neatly kept notebooks. It is up to you to decide whether it is appropriate to empty the wastebasket in the classroom or to clean the blackboard regularly. Such activities are sure to endear you to the teacher, but may seem too nerdy in front of your classmates.
-
Behaviour. Be polite and reserved and do not interrupt. Even on excursions, listen to what the teacher tells you.
-
Voluntary tasks. If the teacher asks you to participate in voluntary tasks, make yourself available, but do not push yourself to the fore. Give other students a chance as well. Ask the teacher for an occasional presentation to improve your grade.
-
Smile. Teachers are also only flesh and blood people and are happy to see a friendly face. Just make sure that your smile doesn't turn into a silly grin. Smile a lot, but only if it's genuine.
