Building Rapport with Students
Rapport seems to facilitate both student motivation for learning and their enjoyment of the course, and enhances student receptivity to what is being taught. To create effective rapport with our students educators should learn to call your students by name, learn students interest, hobbies, personal and professional goal and use personal relevant examples in classroom setting.

Well said in relation to the establishment of rapport with students. The more respect you have for each other the more easily rapport is developed.

Creating rapport with students is essential to have positive student learning. Rapport is built the first meetings of class. Rapport comes from the instructor knowing the students needs.
