How do you deal with nervousness when you have peer teaching?

[31Phuthita063ผู้ช่วยศาสตราจารย์]

For me, I take a deep breath and tell myself that I can do it. Sometimes, I can’t deal with myself because I overthink and I’m not conscious. I want to know the way you deal with yourself. I would like to read and try to use it.

For me, when I have peer teaching I’m gonna sleep early and wake up early for practice in the morning during showers because in a normal day when I take a shower I just open my favorite song. so when I have an important thing to do I will change from open my favorite song to practice it. And I‘m gonna go to the university early than normal. For example if I have a peer teaching at 9 a.m. I’m gonna go to the university when 8 a.m. and practicing to myself in front of mirror in toilet and practice with friends after.

My way of dealing with anxiety during peer teaching is to center myself before it's my group's turn. I stay still and try not to do anything, almost like I'm meditating. Then, I gradually touch each finger on my hand with my thumb. I saw this method from a K-pop idol who uses it to ease their nerves before going on stage, it's like a mindfulness practice to regain focus. It helps me a lot!

I've been wondering for this question too. I think it's really hard to get rid of the nervousness out of me when having peer teachings, because almost everyone is looking at me. For me, the fear of making mistakes is what causes my nervousness, so I try to think that not everyone is listen to every single thing I say. So, it's okay if I make mistakes, and this helps reduce the nervousness from me, but there is still some left anyway.

For me I’ll take a deep breath and focus on what I need to do on peer teaching. When I do peer teaching I will imagine that I am talking to the little kids it can help me stay calm easier than focusing on every single eye that staring at me. My first peer teaching I was nervous to death 🥲 because I focused on who watching at me rather than what I needed to say.

I think being nervous when I have peer-teaching is a normal thing, hahaha. I am an overthinking person, I like to think it would become bad but actually it can be not. When I have peer-teaching, I like to practice for speaking as much as I can, it can increase my nervous and it can make me have more confidence. I also think, everything will be fine, don’t think too much, it maybe good and not bad at all. Although I think that everything will be fine but I don’t know why I always get nervous before peer-teaching.

For me, whenever I have peer teaching, I always feel nervous. Even though I have done it many times, it is always difficult and exciting to start over again. Before peer teaching, I often take a breath and tell myself to find something to help me relax, not think too much, and use the time before my group starts to practice and organize in my head what I want to say.

Every time I have peer teaching I am always nervous and sometimes I forget to say some information. So, the way that I use to deal with my nervousness is to take a deep breath and be calm. They can help me deal with nervousness. Practice a lot is helping me too. If I practice enough I will understand my work and it help me to be more confident.

For me, it is still hard although we have done it for hundred times. When I feel nervous, It is because I think too much, thinking about what I will do after this, what I have to say. To deal with this I just take a deep breath and think about it part by part.

When I have peer teaching, I deal with my nervous feelings by practicing what I have to explain to my peer or students in the future. Moreover, I have to say to myself like I can do it, just relax be myself as much as I can. Additionally, I will ask for encouragement from my friends and my boyfriend or my mom. Lastly, take a deep breath and let’s go!

For me, I always keep in mind that this is my stage when I do micro-teaching. It’s my stage, my place, and no one will break into my place. I also think that I am bigger than the reality. Those things can gain more confidence.

When I feel nervous before I have peer teaching, I always take a deep breath and make my mind feel that “Oh, we can do this like we did before” ! I always lie to my brain that everyone in the class are not my classmates, but they are my students! So, I need to teach them to be better understand. If anyone has a problem while doing peer teaching, I’m sending you a heart! You can do it without nervous! It’s take time but you can do it! I believe in you!
