Two most important criteria to become a math lecturer:
i) Thick skinned ( as thick as possible) and
If students complaint or criticise you in front of you, you either learn to ignore it or accept it. If you feel you want to **** them, no please don't because it is definitely illegal. Choose the first option. It is much better for you to learn to ignore them. It will be best if you learn to accept it and then say "Thank you, I will improve my teaching next time".
ii) Patience needed (as much as possible).
Even students don't like you, hate you, make a lot of noise, think you are an idiot, think you are invisible, think you are not qualify to teach, think you are too young to teach them, think why UTAR hire you, think you are lack of experience and bla bla bla...the most important thing is don't ever ever lose your patience and your confidence. Don't channel your anger toward them because? They are just a student, the most important thing is they are just a kid, a children. Be patient in teaching them.
