The following is a summary of my take on this subject, based mostly on my experiences. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Kimberley H. M. My first argument revolves around materials and planning required for lessons. When I started tutoring students, I often found myself short of activities and materials near the end of the hour of teaching....  [Read more]

These concerns address seven issues: student needs, student talk versus teacher talk time, trust between teacher and student, scheduling, lesson duration, the timing of lesson...  [Read more]
