👩💻Workspace and appearance of the teacher.
The image of the teacher is an important part of communication at the lesson. Pay attention to your background and to your look to create a positive impression on the student.
🖨️Choosing and setting the workspace
Background
- The best background is a clean wall behind the teacher.
- You can place a whiteboard or some colourful stickers behind yourself which can be handy at the lesson as well.
- All Right can give you a project of a poster which you can print out and place on the wall behind yourself – this will add value to your background.
- Not all apartments and rooms allow to sit in front of a wall. If you have room space behind you, please make sure it looks neat and clean; take away unnecessary details (children’s toys, clothes on the bed and other mess).
- It is a bad idea to sit in front of a window. The light behind you will be caught by your webcam and this will make your face go so dark that the student won’t be able to see you properly.
Light
- The best light is from your window when it comes from the right or from the left. You can also use a desktop lamp to lighten your face.
- If you sit opposite the window make sure your face doesn’t look too light in the webcam.
- Don’t sit in front of a window, your face will look too dark.
👩Teacher’s look
- A teacher’s clothes and hair should look neat. There is no special dress-code, but make sure your T-shirt has no spots from yesterday’s pizza.
