When teaching beginners, some important techniques are; be as visual as possible, take care with your board work, control your language, give clear instructions, etc. Some techniques to use with individual students are; activities from course books, maximize on students' experience and technique, use a variety of activities, etc. When teaching children, always use English as the language of instruction, speak slowly in short sentences, make fun of yourself with mimes or gestures, and never put a student on the spot to produce language or a response. When teaching business students, the teacher needs to have a general understanding of the clients' job, needs to know what the clients' goals are, and needs to be flexible in lesson plan as the clients' schedule dictates.
