Words of Encouragement to Novice Teachers:

"I would suggest first thinking through a proposed class and writing a lesson plan. Then take the lesson. After you work out the kinks, ask a few friends over and teach them for free and ask their suggestions. If you feel comfortable after that, go for it."
