Admit your mistake

The vital thing that comes into play is to apologise. Talk to your students and just say that you were not happy with them as they were creating a lot of noise and were out of control, which made you lose your temper. If you have yelled at a particular student, then say to him that you are not happy with the way he behaved during the test and you handled it poorly. In the end, say sorry.

Let them accept

Once you apologised in brief, now it’s the time of healing. Let your students take a moment to accept it. They will take time as wounds do not get healed in a day. So, allow them to some time, and you should carry on with your task of teaching. The idea is to make changes but without fuss.

Avoid games 

Yes, you have raised the voice in the classroom. So, you will try hard to win their heart. Hold on, allowing them fun or silly games will cheapen your association with them. The reason being, these tactics are manipulative and have no meaning for them. You have to be vigilant and should not allow them such thing at any cost. Do not forget the basic rules that every teacher should follow in the classroom.

Let the time, pass

You might wonder that besides your efforts, you are still not able to build the rapport with your students. Well, here you have to accept the fact that trust is not the game of a day. It is built over time and that too when you are consistent with your behaviour. You have to take it slowly, and over the passage of time, you will notice that your students have forgiven you. You will be able to discover it by their behaviour. Now that will be the time of celebration in your life. After all, you have won them back into your life.

Learn from it

This is the crucial thing that you have to do now. You have to make sure not to raise your voice, speak ill or yell at them. Your students will not be going to trust you again if you repeat such things.  Students are learners, and therefore, they will make mistakes, and you have to handle your students wisely.

No doubt, building broken relationships with your students is tough, but with the right approach, you can get back the trust and respect. Follow these proven tactics and draw your students back into your circle of influence.
