Normally I think of my first class as an introduction class. I will ask the student where they are from and what languages they speak. I will ask them if they like to travel and where they have travelled to? I will ask them about their job and what they studied in school. I would ask them about what they like to do in their freetime. Normally I will answer them as well. If i ask the student what languages they speak after they respond I will share that I speak mandarin at an HSK 3 level, I can read spanish and Portuguese as well as speak it at a conversational level, I can also speak Khmer at a conversational level. As for asking about where students like to travel I let them know the countries i have taught in. At the moment I live in Cambodia which most students seem quite interested in. Many students ask me what Cambodia is like so I will describe it to them. I also will say something in Khmer that i woudl if I were to go to market. I will express the challenges I face when learning the Khmer language

I have tried doing some practice within the preply classroom. Example: I uploaded my lesson plan(A Google slide turned PDF) on the white board and I'm quite familiar with the editing tools there. But it was never as smooth as yours. Also can you tell me how you were able to edit word doc. within the classroom.

@soffsoff6574 Год назад

Great video, thank you! I'm curious about how do you manage homework? I'm just starting out on preply and although I think homework and self-study is very important, tbh I don't really like the idea of spending even more time - besides the lengthy preparation - outside of class prepping and correcting homework. Do you correct it in class together with the student? Or do you correct beforehand, then go through it together? Many thanks!

@SeoulForeigner Год назад

Thank you for your comment and questions. With regards to homework that I set, I check all work during the lesson with the student and focus on communicating with the student, providing the necessary feedback. While checking homework, I usually ask students their reasoning to certain answers. I hope this helps. I believe the correct term for this is ‘flipped learning’.

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

Hi Giuliana. Thank you for your question. The best way to deal with this is to share a Zoom link with your student once a trial lesson is booked - not before otherwise Preply will block your account. I usually share it in the comments. In this video, I used a pretend student who had been approached rather than a real student. The participant agreed to this and hopefully it replicates what other tutors may encounter in a real trial lesson. Once you have delivered the trial lesson, request the student to agree it or you could contact Customer Support to help.

An alternative to Zoom would be Google Meet or Skype and each are available for free.

Very useful video, indeed. I took lots of notes and I do have a question about the level of the student. How do you establish the level ? Do they do an initial assessment on the platform and, based on their result, you plan the trial /demo lesson?

@SeoulForeigner Год назад

I get students do an initial level test but I’m more interested in their conversation skills. While they are speaking, I am assessing vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc. This then gives me the impression of their level. After teaching for a number of years, you will start to know intuitively what their level is. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you ever so much for your comment. I decided to make a video to answer this very question. You can find it here: “How To Use PowerPoint and Teaching Materials with Preply Students” - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4zYqKS0z5uo.html.

Hi I have been accepted on Preply. I need help getting students for my trial class. Can u please give me some guidelines tx

@SeoulForeigner Год назад

Hi Shane. Welcome to Preply and glad you have been accepted. I would recommend attending the online webinars that Preply offer so you can learn more about the guidelines. There is also a ton of information and courses on the Preply Academy here: preply-tutors-academy.thinkific.com/enrollments. I hope that helps. 😊

how do you do a trial lesson with a student whose English is 0? I started Preply very recently and I get a little nervous when that happens

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

That’s a great question. If I’m teaching an absolute beginner, I would use lots of images, drilling and repetition. It also works to overcompensate your body language when teaching: i.e. waving enthusiastically when greeting the student, cupping your hand to your ear when you can’t understand or want the student to speak, etc. Gestures play a huge role and you need to be incredibly patient with low level learners.

Usually, before the trial lesson, I will ask the student what their native language is. I will make a point to learn a few simple phrases such as Please repeat, good job, etc. If the student speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Khmer, Vietnamese, or Russian I am ahead of the game as I am at least elementary level in each one of these,

I have been procrastinating joining preply because i am not sure if it will work for me or not because i am not a native English speaker. Do you think i can use preply as my main source of income?

@SeoulForeigner 3 месяца назад

It is possible but it would be best to build up your profile first and once you have built up your reputation then you can start to consider it being as a primary source of income.

Is it okay to make your own material? Thank you!

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

Absolutely. The quality of a professional tutor is the ability to adapt material for students.

@Helmut83 2 года назад

Is it recommendable to talk so much about yourself and make your student ask you questions, placing the focus on yourself, when you are the tutor?

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

It’s important to develop rapport and maintain connections with your student, particularly when it’s 1-2-1.

@samseveryoneenglish2275 2 года назад

are these your own materials?

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

All my own material which I developed over time. Available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1nETLxIcfC52Rqdgq-X4bivCmLnm-PXCO/view

I think what she wanted to know and learn is the slang commonly used per region in England. She has advanced English and she can communicate well. She probably wanted to know the slang words that an average British uses in topics like sports, politics... How come she couldn't understand the British but she has a high level of proficiency? Or maybe she has a problem with a British accent especially if a British speaks fast.

@lovememyself 2 года назад

She sounds like native speaker I think, what lesson should she learn more?

@silviacihakova8625 2 года назад

Hahaha, @Rut Qara NOT AT ALLL! I DO HAVE a loooooot to learn, sometimes I even do not consider myself being a native speaker of my own mother tongue. I started to think about developing some kind of "mind language" where I can rely more on "meaning communication" rather than words itself...hahahah and thank u so much anyway for your kind comment:) take care!

My application was turned down unfoundedly. They copied and pasted in 2 emails that I don't meet the criteria to be a tutor on the platform, which is completely untrue, given that I have the qualifications and experience to prove otherwise. I spent hours trying to create an attractive and friendly profile, waited for days for my application to be accepted and instead I receive such a vague response as to why I wasn't accepted. This has truly been the worst application process and support I've experience in my entire life.

How did you suddenly have a demo lesson plan prepared for her level?

@SeoulForeigner 2 года назад

I have three lessons planned in advance: one for low levels, one for mid-levels, and one for high levels. I choose the material as the lesson progresses.

@@SeoulForeigner Thank you letting me know your magic tricks. I thought it might be something like that but the answer was much simpler than I thought.. Muchas gracias.
