Articulate actor
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"Basically you're an actor all day. They say teaching is 90 percent acting and 10 percent everything else. Whether I start off with a joke or something, I try and grab their attention.
"You have to be very articulate. You might explain something one way to a student and then they'll go, "What?", and you have to rethink what you just said and re-explain it, not by just raising your voice and saying it louder."
