Teaching online can be absolutely exhaustion! Luckily, there are some simple ways to make it more fun, meaningful, and stress free for you.

Here are the 10 tips referred to in this episode:

  1. Get a comfortable chair - forget the bench! 
  2. Schedule regular breaks OR don’t schedule more than 4 students in a row
  3. Stretch during the lesson and stand up
  4. Close your eyes and listen to the student play 
  5. Turn your computer to night setting to help with eye strain
  6. Talk less and ask more questions
  7. Introduce a sight reading activity in the middle of the lesson 
  8. Get your materials ready at the beginning of the day vs. when the lesson begins
  9. Use YouTube videos to reinforce what you’re teaching
  10. Don’t be a perfectionist, focus on progression and growth
