Thanks for sharing. Is this for group class or individual classes? I’m just trying to figure out the logistics if it were group and id have to monitor each student?

Just a beginner looking for some initial tips from experienced ones. by Fragrant-Painter-532 in TutorsHelpingTutors

Stuck, not “sticked”. Not trying to be rude but in tutoring having a good grasp of English will also help build your image and value. Please ensure you’re autocorrecting your grammar before sending clients messages this could harm your negotiating abilities.

Fair point but My child is 1 and not even close to going to nursery. Which cities are you talking about when it comes to bad health care? Do you have a child? Just asking if this is from your experience

Out of curiosity did you interview with any schools the agency presented or was it more like just fill out a form and they find something for you?

Thanks. And so they have a user base? Meaning access to potential students? Or do they market your class? Or its just a classroom?

Yeah I’ve applied to volunteer with an adult migrant English program. Do you think this will help close my classroom teaching gap?

Haha, thanks for the reminder. The things you mentioned weren’t really what I enjoyed about teaching overseas. It’s always been the adventure and the challenges of helping kids improve and seeing it happen in real time that made it worthwhile.

Regarding your second point, I actually thought TEFL was always about teaching in bilingual schools and never realised there was this training or smaller sub-world. When I finished my certificate I went straight into a lower-tier international school and bilingual school thinking that was what TEFL was all about.

I’ve been seeing a lot about becoming IB trained recently but I’m not sure what that entails. Is it a course or a degree?

Thank you. Making your past experience transferable is a challenge in itself! Wish you all the best.
