What people say
-
There is no class that you ever started without an icebreaker to make/enhance rapport with your students. This is why you were famous among students. You explained elaboratively and used the board to organise your lesson points which made it easy to follow even for the weaker students. Your lessons always showed great preparation and in addition to being informative, they were fun.
