				| 
 |  
				| I have been teaching in Taiwan for two weeks now, so I don't have a lot of experience, and now my friend and I agreed to start with a new class at part-time night job. 
 We have no information as to how advanced they are. It is 3 kids, around 13 years of age and we teach them for 1 hour and half hours.
 
 Any advice on what we should do for the first class?

				| play get to know you, ice-breaker type games. try to assess who the leaders in the class are, who the problem students are, and what things you might need specifically work on. |  |

				| Tell them to sit down and be quiet. You've got to tell these little angels who the boss is. |  |
