PTESOL - Private Tutor of English to
Speakers of Other Languages
Many people looking for a rounded teaching methodology course will choose TEFL International. Their course teaches you how to be self sufficient. ie you could be dropped in any country in the world and know how to teach English with whatever resources are available. No textbook required. Having an understanding of everything that might be required allows you to be flexible and jump from one idea to another, for example to predict what the student is going to need next, rather than rely on text books. So these courses teach you classroom and private teaching skills, skills that help you to teach the difference between teaching adults and teaching children, as well as job seeking skills. We strongly recommend TEFL International courses for this reason. But what about if you just want to be a private English tutor and not work for someone else ever? What if you want to start your own private English tutoring service? You need the training that only an expert in running private tuition services can provide. Adult English School can help. With over 10 years private tuition experience, Adult English School is uniquely positioned to be able to offer you a comprehensive PTESOL / PTEFL training course in teaching adults, along with real students to teach in the class. This is not a certificate course. This is an intensive training course that, in one week, gives you the skills you need to set yourself up as a private English tutor. Basically the course gives you everything you need, the system, the instruction required for setting up your own private tuition business, free students to practice on and more. Please note that we do not guarantee that you will be able to be successful after you have had the training. That's completely up to you. You need to be energetic, enthusiastic, proactive, persistent and flexible. If you believe you have what it takes then our trainers would love to help. What do you get? * Step by step guides for starting up your business, running your first lesson, planning your future lessons * Example advertising, email letters, phone scripts and other useful pages to make it easy to start. * Lists of questions on various topics for discussion lessons. * Pronunciation exercises for your students, as well as tips to help you get them to improve themselves. * 10 lessons worth of plans and exercises for use in 1 hour conversation lessons. * Advice on how to get your students coming back for more. * Pitfalls to be aware of * Customs of people from particular countries to be prepared for. * Information on how you can teach people the skills they need to increase their chance of passing the International English Language Testing System ( IELTS ) exam. And much more! Did you know that there is one letter of the English alphabet that Brazilians students really have trouble with? Improve that and suddenly they’re much easier to understand Did you know that some Asian students have no idea about a particular suffix and why it sounds different in different words? Did you know that there’s a particular sound that replaces a lot of vowels in our language that makes English sound the way it does, and really opens the eyes of students when they learn of it? This 20 hour course focuses solely on training you on how to be a private English tutor. We do not explore classroom teaching. If you wish to learn about classroom teaching then we strongly recommend that you join our classroom teaching course at TESOL Courses Sydney instead. We cram about 10 year's worth of knowledge into this short course so you will find that you're taking home a lot of useful reading and teaching material to study at your own pace and use in your own business. There's no test at the end. There is a lot of homework but all in the process of setting up your own business. If you follow everything we teach you and implement everything on the same day you're trained in it, we expect by the last day you will have already had your first enquiry. Please note that the price of the course just pays for the course, teacher and materials. If you decide to follow our marketing advice and start setting your business up on the first day then there are additional costs involved you will need to allow for. These expenses are not through us, they're the normal expenses required in running a business such as buying a domain, setting up your website, paying for online advertising and printing promotional materials. Setting up your business while the course is running is your choice but it gives you the chance to ask questions on the spot if you run into difficulty. We give you all the materials you need to set yourself up as a private English tutor just about anytime.
