The Importance of Flexibility in Teaching

Flexibility is essential for effective teaching because each student has unique learning needs and styles. Different students may require varied explanations or methods of practice, whether they are analytical learners needing detailed phonetic breakdowns or intuitive learners who respond better to holistic approaches. Adapting teaching strategies allows for a more personalized experience, ensuring that all students can grasp the material. It's important for learners to advocate for themselves; if they struggle to understand a concept, they should feel empowered to request an alternative explanation.
