Understanding Assessment: Knowing how students are assessed, including project work, assignments, and examinations, is important.
5. Skills and Attributes
Communication Skills: As an English teacher, strong verbal and written communication skills are crucial.
Patience and Understanding: You should have the ability to explain complex topics in a simple and engaging manner.
