Yeah I will be playing guitar and singing. Its a mock interview so it is actually the recuiter I am doing all this with... Lol

And to answer your question yes I would be able to make up lesson plans no problem for a 30 hour week for young learners.

I just needed idea's for the interview via Skype as its a very different scenario to actually teaching in the class room.


I don't mean to sound dismissive, but have you any idea how much work goes into lesson planning? It's more than, 'Oh, I'll sing this today' or, 'I'll talk about colours'. Well, at least it should be more than that!

Especially for new teachers, lesson planning takes time, I know I still struggle with some of it.

I've been offered jobs after Skype interviews, but then I make an inquiry or two about Z visa and housing......they seem to go away quick. I'm going to tell them 1 way plane ticket upfront, and Z visa, or I'm not getting on the plane. They are looking for the naive; just like here in Thailand.

I am not saying it would not be a struggle or find it a challenge. I definitely wont take this line of work for granted.

That being said I am confident in my abilities to do this otherwise I would not make this life changing decision to teach English abroad.

Are you playing the guitar and singing to them? Laughing


No, and no games either, I've tried to treat them like adults but it's impossible. One of the reasons I'm moving on....
