- The correct pronouns for non-gender words
If there is the word “customer” for instance, which doesn't have any gender, should we say and write “he/she”, “his/her” or it's better to always say “they/their/them”? .... “The user claims that their account...” is it a better way?

If the noun reference is generic you can use he, she or singular they. Even "he or she" will work. The choice is entirely up to you and there isn't one which is more or less correct than the others. I know of some modern writers who seem to lean towards "she" (Pinker, Sapolsky to name the few I read recently), while writers of the past used "he" . You won't find "she" or "they" for generic references in older writings.

Learning English can be very scary, simply because it would be a foreign language and as a result a student can get very scared and their self esteem would go down, so what is needed in a teacher is patience, understanding, motivation, encouragement, praise and a smile goes a long way even though a student has said some few incorrect vocabularies, level of trust is gained when a teacher is understanding and does not judge the student then a teacher student relationship can develop and then a student will at the end will be fluent in English speaking.

I believe that the first impression lasts, a student will choose a teacher whom they will feel comfortable with and someone who is welcoming and who does not judge them if they make mistakes

Idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal definition of the word used. For example “kick the bucket” means to die but the literal meaning of the individual words does not convey this idea. Phrasal verb is a verb that is composed of a main verb plus one or more particles for example phrasal verb “give up” to stop trying, but the individual words “give” and “up” do not convey the meaning on their own.
