Before signing up, please consider what your goal is: interest enlightenment, daily conversation, improvement of test-taking skills, or more demanding, moving towards immigration. Based on this, we can roughly sum up the expected teaching ideas: whether to lay a good listening foundation first and then transition to reading, or pay attention to questions, skills and grammar, and talk about heroes with correct answers.
Put the malicious words first: the classroom effect is the first factor to consider, which is the state of "1", and everything else is "0".
Do you want to go to a training class? There are many issues to consider:
The child's personality is not suitable for the classroom atmosphere of the training class, please listen and observe;
Is there an entrance exam, and the number of students in the class can put the children in a class with the same level?
Whether parents can understand the school's educational ideas and methods, whether they can reasonably test the learning effect in stages, whether there are open classes and whether there is a mature reward and punishment mechanism;
Whether there are foreign teachers, class teachers, security officers and other teaching staff, whether the classroom facilities are safe and how the teachers are; If there is a foreign teacher, whether there is an accent;
Whether parents are confident to cooperate and urge their children to complete extra homework and daily follow-up exercises put forward in the training class;
You should know what service you are providing, whether the teacher can give constructive and effective educational means, and whether the feedback from parents and children is taken seriously;
Whether it can adapt to the management mode of the training course, whether the management is transparent, and whether it understands the handling of special situations such as shift change, shift change, leave and suspension;
Specific analysis of specific problems, the following is for reference only.
As a teacher of a training class, it is the basic skill to make children happy and drive them crazy. Young and humorous, not putting on airs. As teachers, they are willing to approach students on their own initiative. As long as it is not unsatisfactory, it is generally pleasing. Therefore, it is basically meaningless to ask children whether they like this school.
Parents must observe whether their children can fully participate in the classroom and continue to follow up, and whether the children themselves can integrate into the school's educational philosophy; For example, in my school, foreign teachers teach all the time and there are many games. Listening and speaking is more important than writing. The teaching method is simply entertainment and repeated exercises in the game process, which does not involve grammar teaching at all. If you are a quiet and introverted child, the effect is not so good, you must overcome your personality when you study; It is good to have an understanding of language, on the contrary, once frustrated, it will even produce resistance; Of course, if we focus on grammar teaching and specialize in exam-oriented training, the situation will be completely different;
We should understand the advantages and disadvantages of small class teaching. When entering school, children's language level cannot be simply divided by grade, and they need to pass standardized tests. Don't completely believe the oral evaluation of the training class teacher. Retaining students is the capital of eating. Language learning pays too much attention to fantasy and repetition rate. It is ideal to go to a class that is more difficult than the textbook and within the acceptable range. You should also be able to use the textbooks you bought for thousands of dollars. A good training class will cultivate parents.
Don't talk about my spending money. I am an uncle, and I don't do anything to spread my hands. It's like going to the gym. When I get stuck, I feel slim and healthy. Anyway, educating children is still your own business. The training class may only be held once a week, but it's scary when a rising tide lifts all boats. In the training class, you are not only responsible for picking up and dropping off students, but also urging children to complete "extra" homework as required. Because it is not arranged by the school, the child's attitude may not be serious enough and his enthusiasm may not be enough. In order to achieve the best teaching effect, parents must participate directly. For example, I will call every parent every week to introduce the students' English situation and classroom performance, and suggest that parents encourage their children to use English in their daily lives to consolidate the classroom effect;
Sign up for the same training class with friends with children, so that you can get more information, concessions, right to speak and discussion space. Children's learning environment is no stranger, it will be more open, and the quality of classmates can be relatively grasped. First report short-term tests to test children and schools, and then consider long-term registration;
On teachers: the general turnover of teachers in training institutions is large, which should be carefully considered; Personally, as a class teacher, I can't say that I am diligent and humble, at least I can describe it this way. Because I have no experience, I am responsive and dare not neglect. I will also spend a lot of thoughts on assigning homework and try my best to innovate with my professional knowledge. Every telephone teaching will be carefully designed to examine the knowledge points as comprehensively as possible. I have no prejudice against the underachievers in my class, but I will contact their parents to confirm and improve my learning methods repeatedly. However, it must be admitted that the experience is limited, the ability to control the classroom is not mature enough, and the study and life are arranged very tightly at ordinary times, and the number of leave is somewhat high. So some people love others. But I can't guarantee the level of other teachers. Some teachers go there with a local English. This part of the teachers rely on luck in the training class, and it can be seen that the reputation is not small.
Of all the students I have taught.
Those who are very smart and actively attend cram schools for several years have good tape cavity.
Some students are not sensitive enough to language and try to keep up with their classmates.
There are also parents who can't contact and dare not answer questions.
There are also children of English teachers who are specially sent to listen to foreign teachers speak English.
Asking for leave is too much trouble and inhuman.
Naturally, there are also two people who ask for leave for three days without doing their homework.
You can also travel around the world in winter and summer vacations, and you don't need to save money on training courses.
There is also the first prize in the math competition, and the little Go player is such a partiality.
However, there are naturally children who have a good learning environment and can speak without attending training classes.
I think the educational philosophy, staffing, curriculum and teaching environment of some training institutions are really worthwhile (I have no conscience and can't make money), but training courses, as a commodity, are not designed for everyone. You should carefully analyze whether you belong to the target group. After all, training institutions have no right to choose customers. They will only please you and feed you honey for the sake of students and word of mouth. As consumers, we should pay more attention, communicate deeply and take the initiative in our own hands.
