Answer Example
"I had a student in my last school who pushed back to anything I was teaching him. He struggled in my class because he thought he did not need to be in ESL. I worked to ease the tension and prove to him this class would benefit him in the long run. Ultimately, I was patient with him and built trust over the year to give him quality tips and skills to make him a better English learner."
