Do you have a favorite teacher? We bet you do. Now, is that teacher from your real life or are they fictional? Were they teachers on your favorite show growing up? Did you wish they were really your teachers instead? We bet that’s the case. Unfortunately, we all weren’t blessed with our own personal Mr. Feeny, but boy did we wish that awful middle school English teacher was him instead.
So, which TV teacher are you? Their lessons surely seeped their way into your psyche and have revealed themselves in how you handle as a student, but more importantly, in any situation wherein you have to teach anyone anything. Ever tell someone how to get to your house? We’ll count it, who cares. But, since we all don’t have the temperament to be teachers, we’ve provided you with a few fictional students. Tutor them as best you can – and be honest with yourself! – and we’ll tell you which famed teacher from television you really are, on the inside.

Give your student manageable, smaller tasks to help them feel less stressed
Stay late and help them finish the project (while collecting overtime)
Manage their expectations about how good this project will wind up being. Forget about it being good, just get it done!
Lecture them about time management with a double layer of shaming
Politely remind them that this was their fault for not communicating this earlier, try not to be mad.
So, you said they’re blaming me? I’m walking. BYE!

Stop the lesson to talk to them about it. Listen, support, and give them whatever they need.
Ask if they want to talk about whatever they feel comfortable sharing. Don’t push it.
Relate this to a personal experience and hope it makes them feel better
Pass them a tissue and continue on with the lesson
Continue the lesson as scheduled. They can learn to deal with their feelings for an hour and wait until you’re done to break down.
