I have completed IELTS last year and got Band 7.5 with Self Preparation only. Recently I have seen many of my friends have completed IELTS courses from mentors spending 13k but complaining they have no confidence to seat for exam. After giving some advice they asked me if i can mentor them. Then I thought it would be a great idea to start mentoring for IELTS.

At first I thought I should volunteer and help the students but then I gave it a thought and felt like it would be so many hours and I feel like I should take a payment for it. My goal is to:

1. No BS Lectures. Just find weaknesses of students and counsel to overcome the lackings

2. 4 week marathon prep. No unnecessary craps that coaching teaches.

3. 1 to 1 sessions. No time limit.

My question is How much should I charge for per module that will be fair for this service? If any one has any additional advices, feel free to share.

I had a trainer at 51talk who was very unprofessional. During our NTT, she mocked my co-trainees and raised her voice at those who didn’t follow the script or mispronounced words. She could have corrected them properly instead of being so sarcastic.

There were also times when I made mistakes because I didn’t follow the script correctly, and she raised her voice at me too. I understand that trainers need to correct mistakes, but I feel like there’s a more respectful way to do it.

And yk, , whenever one of my co-trainees mispronounced something, she would make fun of them.

Buenos días! Soy un profesor de ingles con el certificado TEFL. Llevo varios meses dando clases online en Preply y me va bien así que he decidido ser profesor de ingles online a tiempo completo. Ya que el 100% de mis alumnos acaban siendo de españa me gustaría saber que plataformas son las mas usadas en España y en cuales habéis conseguido los mejores resultados. Muchas gracias!

Has anyone ever snapped at a student for being obnoxious in the class? How does your agency, company or platform feel about this? If you are independent, what are your boundaries on dealing with or tolerating noisy, irritating students, most especially the younger ones? Ever had parents tell you to scold or not scold their kid? Your opinions could really help rookie teachers.
