Q&A for How to Get a Teacher to Like You

If you overdo compliments, the teacher may feel you are being sarcastic, insincere, or just wanting attention. Sometimes students compliment to make the teacher like them just to get good grades, and many teachers are eagle-eyed to this type of student.

Just don't overdo it. As long as you don't put your hand up every five minutes and overdo the compliments, people will most likely think you're just trying to participate.

Sometimes this happens and there's nothing you can do about it, but try really hard to get on her good side. Follow the steps in the article - pay attention, turn in all your work on time, raise your hand when you know the answer to a question, etc. You might be able to change her mind about you.

In reality, society tends to first judge by outward appearance. But once the first and shallow judgement is made, society then judges what is on the inside, such as your personality, values, and heart. The second judgement tends to last a lot longer. If you prove yourself to be a good/kind person, plenty of people will like you.

Not all the time. It could make them think that you are trying to act like you know more than they do. If it's important, try to say it in the form of a question, like, "Excuse me, but isn't it true that...?" and state your correction. If it's a simple spelling mistake or something like that, it's probably best to just let it go.

Say, "Good morning/afternoon, Mr. _______!" Say it with enthusiasm, but not so much that it seems sarcastic. Anything more and they may feel annoyed at you delaying them.

Teachers tend to like students who work hard in their class. If you do the best you possibly can and work hard, teachers will like you. If you need help, ask questions. Also, make sure to be polite and respectful when talking to the teacher.

As long as this was a one-time incident, they'll probably forget about it pretty quickly. Just do your best to behave yourself, do your work, be respectful, etc. from now on and everything should be fine. If you didn't already, it would be a good idea to apologize for whatever happened.

Be a good student: Raise your hand and wait to speak, ask questions, but not when the teacher is talking, and take plenty of notes throughout the class. Don't joke around with friends, unless it is before the class has started, and wait to be excused from the class instead of packing up and running out the door the second the bell rings.

Then you will have to accept the bad grade and not make the same mistake next time.

As long as you are not interrupting her, no teacher should ignore you when you talk. Approach her before or after class and tell her how you feel about this. It may be that it's an accident or she doesn't even know she's doing it. Be polite when speaking to her. She will probably admire your courage in coming forward and trying to resolve this problem. If this doesn't help, talk to a principal or other administrator.

Try making friends with the techer’s favorite student. When the favorite talks to the teacher, follow your friend and the teacher will then begin to notice you.

Try to find something good about her. Otherwise, just realize that class is only a short portion of each day, and do your best to get along with her.

If it is really that bad, you should consult a parent or principal. This is not how teachers should act.

If you bring up the topic too much, your teacher might get annoyed and dislike you even more. Try to build trust with them by turning in assignments on time, or doing kind acts, such as picking up trash left in the classroom by other students or helping them to carry something heavy. Your teacher thinks that you betrayed their trust, so to earn back your rep you must first regain their trust.

You don't need to go overboard, it sounds like you're already on her good side, just keep doing what you're doing!

You can't guarantee any teacher will like you, but you can try the tips in the article. Persistence may pay off.

First, apologize. Then, do good deeds that will impress your teacher.

Get her a "Thank you" card and write a message inside thanking her for being such a good teacher.

Using "Yes ma'am" and "Yes sir" are a wonderful way to show respect, as well as waiting to speak and not wasting the teacher's time.

Turn things in on time, don't talk or pass notes during class. Be nothing less than attentive and participate in the lesson being taught. I do this with my teachers and it always works. One last thing, smile whenever they look at you during a lesson. This can show them that you are enjoying the work that they are doing to make sure that you and others are getting the education that you deserve.

Yes, as it wouldn't be very helpful for you to talk to them in the middle of a lesson when you should be concentrating.

Tell your parents or guardian about the situation and ignore your teacher's behavior, and continue being kind to the teacher.

If you just want to chat with them, first make sure they're not busy, then you can just start with, "So, how's your day going," or, "How was your weekend?" You could also ask them how they got interested in whatever subject they teach, if they always wanted to be a teacher, etc.

They are probably just trying to be friendly. If the touching ever turns into something inappropriate, tell the principal or your parents right away.

Continue trying to get on their good side, and don't give up. If matters get worse, talk to a trusted adult.

Teachers like it when you show dedication to what the are teaching. Try to get to know them more and show interest in what she/he does. Your teacher will care about you if you care about them.

In this situation, it's best to just keep your head down and give your teacher plenty of space. Follow the tips in Deal With a Mean Teacher for some good advice.

He/she just doesn't know you yet. Just make sure to do all your assignments, participate in class by raising your hand to answer questions, and be kind and helpful to your classmates. I'm sure he/she will like you just fine.

Just follow the steps in the article. There's really nothing else you can do. Try to have a positive attitude no matter what, and definitely don't tell them you think they're being unfair, as this will not increase the chances of them liking you.
