190: Tips for new teachers on iTalki

190: Tips for new teachers on iTalki

Miki asks: "How should I teach Japanese on iTalki?"

Episode Summary:
  • Firstly, be honest about what you are offering and your experience level
  • If you have no experience, you can still help Japanese learners a lot
  • Begin as a "community tutor" and offer conversation lessons so you can get experience
  • Have an honest talk with the student about what they're looking for an how you can help. Ask questions like:
    • What are you looking for?
    • How would you like me to help?
    • Do you want me to correct your mistakes, or let you talk?
  • The most important skill you have to develop as a teacher is the ability to listen
  • As the student is speaking, make notes of common mistakes, look for patterns - are they making the same mistake all the time?
  • Let the student talk as much as possible, and try to encourage them to speak (that's what most people want), make them feel amazing!
  • Every now and again, stop, and show the student what kind of mistakes they have been making (be selective), or opportunities to improve
  • At the end of the lesson, ask the student what you could do to improve.
  • "What would you like to work on next time" is a good question that allows the student to say what they want, without risking offending the teacher
