Self Intro Material. The self-intro material is given only once in a

student’s career in RareJob – the first trial lesson.

12. Please tell me more about the trial lesson. Can you show an example of tutor notes?

The students are allowed to take 2 free lessons beforethey actually join and pay in RareJob. Thus it is the tutor’s role to encourage them by providing a good

Self Introduction Lesson.

Example of tutor notes: (refer to next slide)

12. … Can you show an example of tutor notes?

13. How many minutes/hours per lesson?

• 1 slot = 1 student = 25 minutes

• Sometimes the student can book 2-4 slots consecutively or not. It depends on how much they pay.

14. Can I go on a break?

• After every 25 minutes, you are entitled to a 5-minute break.

• For 2 consecutive lessons, you have the choice to conduct a continuous 50-min class and have a bonggang 10-min break after or divide it into two 25-min classes and have a 5-min break after each half.

15. What if the student is not online?

• Wait for 10 minutes. After that, you just mark him/her absent in the notes and have a bonggang paid rest.

• Maximum of 8 slots per night Mon-Sun (equivalent to 4 hrs = part-time job)

• You may choose 4 hrs from this schedule: 7pm-12mn (eg. 7-11pm, 8-12mn, 7-9pm then 10-12mn, etc)

• Conduct all the exercises including the previous lessons review. Do not skip parts.

• Just follow the pattern of the materialand make sure to provide a fun class for your student.

21. I don’t know how to conduct the article discussion.

Suggested Flow of Article‐Discussion:

1. Provide the URL of the material.

2. Article‐reading (the student reads it aloud; so you can check his/her pronunciation)

3. Vocabulary definition

4. Reading comprehension questions ‐ to know

whether the student understood the article

5. Asking questions for appreciation -asking the student's opinion or insights related to thearticle.

22. I don’t know how to conduct the self introduction lesson.

• Be spontaneous.

• Avoid following The Script (Hello! Welcome to RareJob English Lesson! My name is _____. Thank you for having a lesson in RareJob!) Gasgas na siya masyado. So please be creative. You are advised to paraphrase.

• Since this is the first lesson of the student, make sure that yougive a fun, remarkable and unforgettable class for him/her.

• Be able to ask the 7 necessary questions:1. occupation

2. hobbies

3. introduction to rarejob

4. english test

5. how long studying

6. purpose for studying

7. topics to study

23. When do we use the –san, -chan, etc?

These are suffixes added to the names of the persons to show politeness.

-chan = when your student is a kid or younger than you

-san = means Mister or Miss; used for both males and females, to people same age as you or older

-sensei = means Teacher; your students may call you this

Remember: Never address yourself with a –san or –sensei. That’s impolite.

If you have questions that weren’t included here, please address them to me during the criteria and tips discussion.

THANKS!
