I feel like that all the time but I still get by. You should perhaps read this article as it is sure to inspire you with ideas.
I wish you well.

Try to start out with a good icebreaker. Get to know your students and learn some of their interests right off the bat. Also, think about how you �ll motivate them and the classroom rules.
If you start off right, your lessons from then on will be much smoother. First impressions are everything! |

I like to have a chat with them about their experience with English, their expectations. what they like best and what they hate. While doing so I get to know each of them and their knowledge of English (if they do not say, I usually ask). That�s the moment I explain the way we will work and what I expect...
Speaking, listening to them, showing interest and your wish to help them overcome difficulties, improve makes the way easier to demand from them afterward.
