Comment from : English with Aminul

Hi, I'm 32 and I need to teach my mother English Although English isn't my mother tongue, it is my strongest language since that is the medium that I have studied in My mother (57 yo) however has studied in Marathi (a regional language in India) and although she understands English, she isn't very fluent She is used to watching English (Hollywood) movies too but she is quite nervous while conversing in English She struggles the most with forming longer sentences So, my mother has asked me to teach her Any guides here who can help me out?brThanks Suzi for your channel It is certainly going to be very helpful!
Comment from : Shreya Bhosale

Just googled this and came up with your video I was so inspired I just had to find you on YouTube so I could post I’m not an English teacher, just a native speaker who wants to help a friend learn English I was terrified of the idea and your video just turned that around into excitement I can’t go see her today, but now I can’t wait I was amazed when you said you didn’t do assessments, tests etc unless asked by an employer This was one thing which was freaking me out brHer young children are learning, and she helps them, so I’ll start with having a look at their books to start somewhere brHave you any suggestions for how best to approach this?brShe wants to do an exam eventually like baccalaureat equivalent but is likely nowhere near that level yet so it may take time She’s very willing to give it a go

Comment from : B Guh channel

You did not describe beginners first lesson
Comment from : Shoggy 17

Comment from : Janice Lester

I don’t understand How can I ask someone about their day if they can’t speak English and I don’t know their language? 🤷🏾‍♂️
Comment from : Bryan Dawson Brown

your first lesson should start with mary es a girl and tome is a boy too long bye
Comment from : Karlos Cespedes

Dams you're gorgeous
Comment from : Senzo Tanaka

I love this! Structured but yet a bit more informal Great way to start Would you recommend taking on more advanced students in the beginning of your tutoring career?
Comment from : Marianna

and if my learners speak 0 English?
Comment from : Lindsey Forbes

Comment from : Naima Baig

Thank you very much for your inspiration I am tutoring an 8yr old girl, who, I would say, is actually doing fairly well I will now take more notes and be more organized!!! I'll be next helping the parents, so on to ESL vidsbrBTW about the first thing I said (to her and her parents) was that there are no dumb questions
Comment from : Henry Furlott

This video assumes the student understands even one word of English Most of my students know absolutely no English, so I can hardly ask them about their weekend
Comment from : Sandy HIll

Thank you
Comment from : Waqu

This is such an excellent and helpful video! I really appreciate your making it! A word of advice: there is a typo it the first 5 seconds of the video ("YOUR FRIST LESSON") that undermines your intelligence If you fix it, it will help you to command the respect you deserve!
Comment from : Maria Huard

What would you do with a first online lesson ?
Comment from : Cafe`SkypeDjJimiBruce

I’m certainly not trying to be negative here, but this isn’t any use for teaching basic learners of English It shouldn’t be listed under teaching beginners
Comment from : LoveOfBikes

Wow she looks like Kate Blanchett!
Comment from : run bts

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed your video
Comment from : J J

How do you communicate with someone who speaks or understands NO ENGLISH?
Comment from : Steve Mizera

It doesn't bode well when the embedded text in the video begins with a typo "Your Frist Lesson"
Comment from : My Homeless Travels

Comment from : Seelan Rathanum

Thank you so much for your video!brYour tips were amazing, I love the way you talked about the moments when the student isn't chatty Sometimes those are uncomfortable moments, but it's always good to know how to motivate their participationbrIn those kind of moments with those particular students I like speaking first about my day and while I'm speaking I say something interesting that happened to me and ask them their opinion about it Sometimes students love listening to stories from the teacher's life hehebrGood tips!!
Comment from : Enjoy English Clubs

Comment from : Dimwits Advocate

You’re so similar to Cate Blanchett :)
Comment from : Munisa Shakhova

Thank you,and you are beautiful by the way ☺️
Comment from : Zeus Warrior

Thanks Suzi Brilliant ideas! Is there an copyright issues sharing videos during the session?
Comment from : M A MA

Have you ever noticed whenever you meet someone for the first time as soon as you share something about yourself they start to relax - it's exactly the same with a class brput 3 topics about yourself on the board - After introducing yourself ask the class to formulate a question about one of your subjects - this has never failed me in 15 years n so much info comes out with it - you'll witness the stress disappear
Comment from : Gary OMalley

You mentioned that you were going to post some links that would help us in the future ?

Comment from : Chiko Kishi

For a first lesson, just be sure to make it as student-centred as possible Get students working in pairs or small groups!

Comment from : lina cuna

I recently got TEFL certified, planned to teach online and I inadvertantly got my first student (my apartment buildings maintenance man) before even signing up to a website So I'm nervous about our lesson since my Spanish is like that of a 3 yr old and his English is about the same lol
Comment from : OhDuana

Teaching ELDERS English Right tittle for me lol I will be an English instructor for all teachers in an elementary school in June and many of them are 50+ I have no clue how to deal with them since they have lame response They take ages to understand things and I'm afraid they will assume I can't get the job done well Any tips for me?

Comment from : Fernanda Duarte

Hi Suzi you made me feel more confident in my planning of first lesson 🤓 I just had a lil’ conversation w her to know her better and find out more or less what she wants to correct and improve Phonics is a big issue for her and proper use of grammar Where can I find that link you mention in this video? Thank u so much!

Comment from : Thokozani Dlalisa

Comment from : Jenny Chamorro

That's excellent for an advanced English class but if the students don't know English, they're beginners so it doesn't work

Comment from : NISSRINE CHELLIOUI

Frist lesson? kind of ironic that you are making these mistakes being an English teacher
Comment from : Alex Valdez

What if the student has a VERY limited vocabulary? How should the first lesson begin? :O
Comment from : KawaiiPinkPunkStar

I am 13 and I am trying to teach my mom English My English is great and I read books all day My mom wants to be able to read English and I have taken it upon myself to teach her which she is happy for I have my old English novels like 1st grade till 8th grade which I am in nowbrFrom grade 5 onwards I have my grammar and vocab books too which I remember lovingbrIt is hard in the beginning but at a certain point like grade 5 it will be easier as I will have more resources I want her to be confidently be able to speak in English cause she will be extremely happybrShe is interested in reading harry Potter cause I tell her that I want her to read it as soon as she can and seeing me so passionate she definitely wants to try it out but her leaving level is definitely not there Yet It's the start of the journey
Comment from : Samiyah Shaikh
