How To Teach Your Teacher [Tip 4 of 5]

This week, we’re talking about how to get a €100 lesson from a €50 teacher.

If you’re just joining us, go to the blog to catch up on past lessons. 

Tip #4

I recommend you have this conversation via email even before you meet your teacher.

Hello, 

Here are the three things I’m looking for in my English lessons:

1. I want to talk. 

2. I want to do most of the talking. 

3. I want to talk about _____. (Pick something you’re interested in.) 

Then, invite three or more teachers to give you a sample lesson. 

See who follows your instructions. 

See who makes you feel comfortable (you’re going to be spending a lot of time together, so feeling comfortable and relaxed is important).

And then invite that teacher to be your teacher (and email the others a polite explanation about your decision). 

As they say in Paris, voila!  (translation: there it is) 

(also used by many English speakers, so good to know)  

P.S. 

Are you ready?

I think you are.

It’s time to get a private teacher!

And these days, you don’t need to be rich. 

Have a look at the teachers on my other site, Teacher Creature.
