Are you a patient person? Give some examples of how you are or aren't patient.
Sample Answer: I believe that I am patient person to the point that it might even be considered a fault. We all have our own level of patience, and I believe that anyone who works with children must be patient. While I have little tolerance for misbehavior and will look to get to the root of the problem quickly, I find that I am more patient with other things, like waiting on a student to grasp a concept. Children can’t be rushed to learn; they learn at their own pace. If I want my students to be successful and to learn from me, I have to accept that they might not master a particular concept as fast as their peers – but that they still have the potential to do so, with my help. I am very patient with students as long as they are giving their best effort and they show a desire to learn and grasp the concepts being taught.
Tip: The ideal teacher has mounds of patience. Without it, they would quickly find themselves in a new career. In exhibiting patience, you are letting the interviewer know that you know what to expect and that you are prepared for it.
