Most school teachers in the UK or Australia would kill for the students we TEFL teachers are lucky enough to have! That’s not saying all your students will be angels.

7 Top Tips For Teaching Kids
Without a doubt, teaching children is totally different to teaching adults. Many teachers are reticent to take the plunge and teach these height challenged students. However, have no fear – once you have a few tricks up your sleeve, you will be as illusive as a magician…with your students in the palm of your hands.
