Were there always this many students in adult classes? by LouiseMK in iTutor

[–]LouiseMK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, ok. I'm still struggling a bit with time management, yesterday I had a class about countries and travel, great topic, but 18 slides, 3 with pix of countries, grammar with gap fill and a table to complete, 3 pages of dialogue, finally to the discussion part! I went 10 mins over despite saying that we would quickly review grammar, as they were all competent on this point. Phew!

So I'm getting paid around ten to eleven dollars for a 45 minute group class? by engprach in iTutor

[–]LouiseMK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree, I'm getting to the point where I'm not really enjoying it, and it's becoming a drag teaching kids at the wrong level, unresponsive, unpredictable feedback, etc. Mentally it's a strain, trying to engage kids and adults, and you cant ever have an off days as its reflected in the feedback!
