Hello everyone. I was just reading the thread about Ariella's teaching job and I really got excited as I read, her experiences are so cool and really give me a good feeling about beginning to teach.
My first teaching experience will be next friday, I will be filling in for my teacher in one of our beginners classes. I was never extremely good at breaking down movements but I seem to be improving a bit step by step.
My teacher does seem to have faith in me taking over a class, which gives me more confidence, but still I'm definitely very nervous about friday as I've never really taught a class before, except done warm up in our regular classes and assisted in beginners classes before.
I'm thoroughly preparing myself, having warmup and cooldown routines worked out already. I have explanations for various movements that actually make sense, knowing which muscles we use when/where, etc. I'm now filling in what to do for the actual class. I've already got some cool excercises figured out, and I think I'll manage to prepare for the class, but still nervousness is omnipresent.
Any advice for a very nervous newbie to teaching? Anything else I should keep in mind? Thanks all!
