1. Be respectful. This means listening attentively, following instructions, and being punctual. It also means being polite and respectful in your interactions with your teacher.
2. Be engaged. Ask questions, participate in class discussions, and complete your assignments on time and to the best of your ability. When you show your teacher that you are interested in what they are teaching, they will be more likely to be interested in you as a student.
3. Be open to feedback. Your teacher is there to help you learn, so be willing to listen to their feedback, even if it is critical. Constructive criticism can help you identify areas where you need to improve, and it can help you grow as a student.
4. Build rapport. Get to know your teacher outside of class. Talk to them about your interests, ask them about their day, and show them that you are a real person with real interests. When your teacher feels like they know you, they will be more likely to be invested in your success.
5. Be thankful. A simple "thank you" can go a long way. When your teacher takes the time to help you, be sure to express your appreciation. It will make them feel good and it will encourage them to continue helping you.
By following these tips, you can build a positive relationship with your teacher that will benefit you both.
