I have just qualified and have been offered some individual private lessons.
I wonder if anyone can recommend info on how to get started, eg needs analysis exercises for first lesson, and any particular coursebooks that are particularly useful for individual lessons, (if such a thing exists).
Anything really.
Thanks

I am teaching in Japan, for what its worth and sometimes teach private students.
as for needs analysis. the simplest thing is to ask the student, or if they dont speak English get someone to translate into their first language.
Best thing is to ask them what they want to learn English for, what their goals are. Do they want to learn for conversation, business, travel? Pass TOEFL? Ask them what they expect from you or what they want out of the lesson.
If you do a demo or a trial lesson you can determine what approximate level they are and what book is best for their level.
I dont know whats available in Spain but I use Headway for false beginner and intermediate level students. Works well and plenty of content. Getting tapes and a teachers book is a good idea as well. |
