I had a class with two orange level students this evening. One of them is a very cheerful mid-aged guy and has practically done everything from basic to intermediate more than once, the other only signed up recently, but had been taking classes with students lower than her. When I saw the combination, I thought [...]
I had a lesson with three regular pink and orange level students today. We went through the loop smoothly as they had been used to our style of coaching and were quite comfortable with each other’s company. As I heard two of them talking about movies in the lobby before the class, I asked if [...]
I just finished a lesson with a green level student. I always enjoy the classes with him because he has a really nice personality and is always ready to communicate. I prepared a news event (Hotdog Eating Contest) as an item and Restaurant 2 for routine. But we ended up only having enough time for [...]
I had a class with a red level student the other day. She turned up a few minutes late and apparently was not in a good mood. I enjoy lessons with this student because she likes to ask a lot of questions and is always very cheerful. But this is not one of those days [...]

After class, everyone was asking me about the nicely-wrapped flower on [...]

When I saw my schedule today, I felt a bit anxious about first lesson of the evening. This particular student is known to make a lot of very specific request about the material and type of lesson she wants to study. It took me nearly 20 minutes to come up with the lesson plan for [...]
I had a class with three green level and red level students yesterday, all of whom have been with us for at least 2 years and know each other quite well. I did not need to worry about creating a nice atmosphere because the moment I welcomed them into my classroom, a natural chitchat conversation [...]
Smith’s School of English Lessons I had a pink level student today. I prepared a basic Item and a basic Routine as well. During pre-lesson preparations, I noticed that this was her first time the student comes in for lessons and her trial lesson teacher used part one of the Morning Routine. The trial lesson [...]
