But with help from fellow instructors, mentors and creative thinking, I have learned that a large part of being a teacher is being willing to adapt my teaching styles to best assist the individual student. After teaching students from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, countries and educational levels, I have learned that the most important part about being an instructor is not to have all the answers, but to know that you never will. Through my experience, I’ve concluded that a teacher must never stop learning, and must adapt with their students, as well as, with the times, in hopes of bettering themselves in their field for the students that are placed in their realm of influence. It is one of my fundamental beliefs that in order to be the most influential teacher or instructor one must understand their pupils’ perspective while learning. Because of this, I have strived to be a part of many different types of educational institutions and learning a variety of styles of teaching. My passion is for my current and future students, in hopes of bettering my professional skill and myself; I hope to be accepted into the Binghamton’s MATESOL

    Whether it being traditional or contemporary, teachers have a various tactics such as rational arguments and creative ways (McBer, n.d.) to leave an impact on students and to influence them in bringing about positive outcomes. Petty (2009) supports the importance of teachers having an impact and influence on students and adds that effective teachers can first of all recognize the potential of the students. After recognizing the potential of students, teachers now should think analytically and conceptually as discussed earlier and develop a lesson plan that encourages students to reach their full potential or even challenging students to reach a higher level of learning. In addition, McBer (n.d.) and Petty (2009), share that there are informal ways of influencing students. When a teacher has a closer proximity with a student, the teacher will understand the student better which lead to a better understanding of the students learning styles.
