Abstract
New lecturers are often put in the position of having to teach at short notice and with no formal teacher training. Therefore, it would seem prudent to try and provide some simple and easily achieved suggestions on teaching practice for new lecturers. This paper outlines my experiences of my first few years of teaching. As a nearly new lecturer myself, I feel I am in a good position to relate these experiences to other new lecturers. Therefore, I present seven simple suggestions that I remind myself of when teaching, and that I think would be of use to new lecturers in making them better teachers sooner.
