Every person is a different world and every world needs different things. So as to know what those individual needs are, we have to take into consideration that there are many factors that influence the way human beings think, live and learn. As teachers, it is difficult to be aware of all of these factors at the same time, but it’s not impossible. In fact, the best way of doing it, is by taking the time to get to know your students a bit more and observe them very carefully to see how they are responding to the new information you are presenting. This is why it is so important to evaluate your performance constantly in order to improve what is not being beneficial for your students. Only in that way, we will be able to achieve what should be the main goal of every teacher; to fulfill our students’ needs.
