Get Your Students Hired
Soft Skills are very important because they allow you connect with your students. Our soft skills allow the student to realize that we are humans just as they are and we are here to help them grow.
Good point here Samiya Jones on connecting with students. I've found many students at the start of class are continually wondering what type of instructor I am so I try and get this out of the way quickly by introducing myself and asking them to do likewise. Finding something in common with each student, whether it's the small town or city they live in or hobbies they have go a long way toward building this rapport and trust.
