First ESL Tutoring Session part 1 of 2

[@brianconnelly8107]

This is a great example of a one-on-one session. Thank you.

[@charlviljoen1165]

Great thank you. Gives a general idea what the target for first lessons could be.

[@JeriDro]

she is an excellent teacher and that is a nice student

[@DelcoLiteracy]

Yes. All students are tested before being matched. This is not a beginner ESL student.

[@sisymags4492]

Definitely the best video ever about how to teach ESL!

[@ekatlind]

I’m working with two students separately, one is at an intermediate level and the other is advanced. I’m meeting with them for the first time this morning and I’m so nervous. I’ve helped my mother with her English, but I’ve never worked in a virtual tutoring environment before.

[@velleskins]

Was this student's level established before the lesson ?

This is a very good video. I am looking to tutor esl someday and I think I could use this information. Elaine, can you provide descriptions of how your mouth forms each letter in case I need to use this information in my tutoring?

[@DelcoLiteracy]

Dear Kelsey, Elaine is not available to provide the information you are seeking. I would do a search within KZbin or in the entire Internet. I am sure there are some on-line resources available. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. --Delaware County Literacy Council

Hi. Thanks for your comment. We work with adults, using Ventures from Cambridge U. Press: www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/catalog/adult-courses/ventures-3rd-edition. Also, I see they have a resource page with free sample print and audio lessons, etc: www.cambridge.org/us/cambridgeenglish/resources. I hope this helps.

Hi

[@manojrani5106]

Hallo

[@chellycat14]

Why does the teacher talk to the student like she's a child?

[@brianconnelly8107]

It's called grading your language

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

because that's how ESL teaching works

[@JeriDro]

she's speaking slowly and clearly because she's teaching English.....do you have a brain?

[@andresyan4163]

Obviously you don't know anything about teaching and learning a second language.

[@gakh4341]

The teacher talks too much, she knows English ,no need to talk so much.

[@svetlanamtvnk3864]

Why asking a student if she knows alphabet if she already speaks quite well and understands all the questions the teacher asks)))

[@svongorsk]

As it's the first class, I'd say the teacher is checking her pronunciation, spelling and reading skills in that part. It's also a bit of a warm-up, to make the student more comfortable. If the teacher hasn't met the student before you prepare these sorts of generic activities to see how they do.

[@ladydfitness]

love it😃

[@chellycat14]

Why is the tutor speaking down to her student, a grown woman, as though her student is dumb or a child? The tutor comes across as very condescending.

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

why do you come back again and again after three years to leave a salty comment? during this time you could get a TEFL certificate and make a teacher's career.

[@JeriDro]

you're an idiot. she's teaching her a new language, duh
