I have not formally taught, but I worked many retail jobs which helped me acquire many skills for working in fast-paced environments.

Patience is important, as it is easy to become frustrated with the lack of understanding that may happen in a classroom. Good communication will aid in the flow of conversation and explanation of concepts. Being able to adapt well to unexpected situations can help with the upkeep of harmony in the classroom. Respect is something everyone should be granted, regardless of hierarchy, and having compassion for students learning something new is indispensable as it can help them feel more comfortable asking for help when needed.
