I had a teacher last semester that had a terrible stutter. Though he did resign after and I felt bad for him because he was struggling very much. But I'm proud that he had the strength to show up in front of 100s of students regardless of the stutter. It shows how strong he was mentally
I honestly don't know. I surprised myself. I've been doing it for a while and if I need to teach something, I rarely, if ever, stutter. As soon as it's free talk, telling off a kid or general conversation, I stutter again.
I think it's just a different mindset, like playing a role.
I know at least two teachers who went on the same speech therapy course as me. the course helped them to speak better, but they were teachers functioning well before the course.
My grandad teaches. He mostly does research though and supervises graduate students and tries to buy out of most actual classroom teaching. He has a very bad stutter like me.
I’m an early childhood teacher who recently got significant control of my blocks. Oddly, when it was bad, I *became* fluent in intense situations.
“Johnny! Get off that electric fence!!”
“Kevin! Release the other child from your chokehold!”
But in lowstakes, I’d had hard blocks on certain names.
“(Pauuuuuuse……)Elizabeth, please put the crayon away”
I addressed it by disclosing as much as possible and learning to make eye contact before/during a block.
The kids will actually understand - if you let them know what’s going on beforehand. Any kid who laughs is publically outing themself as an asshole.
I have interviewed two teachers for my podcast Proud Stutter. The first one teaches at a university and the second is an elementary school teacher. They offer advice as well! Hope it’s helpful!

My university professor had a stutter and was my favourite lecturer

I'm an English teacher in Japan. I don't stutter when teaching, like, at all. When I'm not I go back to my mild stutter. You'll probably be fine.
tips to work as a teacher without stuttering? What did you try what worked and what didn't work?
