For two weeks I've worked as an part-time English teacher at Hello American School. It's the first time I work to earn salary. Quite nervous and worrying on the first few days! I don't have many students. From 9 students on the first day to 6 now, I don't know if I'm not a good teacher or the students just didn't want to study there. I have tried to bring the class to talk during class, but most of them seem to be not willing to open their mouth at all. As I can remember the time I was studying at Hello, I also didn't talk much during class. It's the reason why I didn't improve speaking skill at all at Hello but instead at NWI where I was taught by native speakers. Therefore, I want to encourage them to talk more so that they will not follow my previous step. These six students include 4 rather outstanding ones and the remaining two is not quite able to catch up with the lessons I teach. I believe that my teaching pace is slow, so I want to increase it, but the students will have difficulty.
Hello is considering changing the policy. Class duration for each day will lengthened to one hour and a half and the school fee will also increase, and so does teacher's pay. However, I'm afraid that my students will quit their class. Hope that New Year brings good luck and success!
