Sun, 12 May 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences What Is the Best Choice: One-to-One or Group Teaching? I have taught one-to-one through tutoring English students on several levels, from five-year-old young learners to teenagers and adults in the past. Though all of these were rewarding and have taught me a lot about my own skills, the different TEFL courses also allowed me to apprehend teaching groups and how it can differ from teaching one-to-one. The following is a summary of my take on this subject, based mostly on my experiences. Table of Contents Teaching materials Classroom management Comparing two types of classes My personal challenges Are you ready to teach ESL students?

Fri, 02 Aug 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Many Roles of a Teacher At the cafeteria during lunchtime, a student of mine approached and asked me, "Why did you become a teacher?" Dumbfounded by this brazen question, I did not know what to say. I could have chosen motherhood statements like "I want to make a difference in the world," "to have a positive impact on my student's lives, "or that "I love children." I ended up saying to him, "Well, I am good at teaching." However, the truth of the matter is, I needed a job and there was an opportunity so I took it. You can say it was fate that called me to be a teacher. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself being a Grade 3 homeroom teacher! After having experienced a variety of jobs in my life from being a hotel...  [Read more]

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Adapting to the Differences Between Group Teaching and One-to-One Teaching Lesson planning for an individual ESL student can be successfully adapted from lesson planning for a group once the teacher recognizes the differences and similarities between teaching a group and teaching an individual in a one-to-one setting. My first teaching experience was volunteering to teach a multilingual, adult class. After the class ended, Yordanka, one of the students, approached me for private help with her English conversation skills. I kept the following concerns in mind when conducting one-to-one sessions with Yordanka. These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student,...  [Read more]

Mon, 06 May 2019 Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas What It’s Like Teaching Kindergarten in Thailand - My Personal Story Having spent more than 20 years as a marketing consultant, I decided to change career, to become an English language teacher.
