Today is an important day. The beginning of a new academic year at my daughter’s school. And her final year at school. Time has certainly flown by. I remember her first day at nursery like it was yesterday.
New beginnings for my daughter, in a familiar school, but with a new teacher and class mates. A few nerves and adjustments to make, but I expect she will come home full of excitement to tell us what she has been up to.
New beginnings for me also. A time to refocus on my online teaching business. To work hard to deliver high quality lessons, specifically created for my students. Helping them to achieve their language goals and to fulfill their aspirations utilizing English.
Whether that is a job promotion, or extra responsibilities, dealing with customers, colleagues, clients or negotiating contracts and presenting in meetings, I am determined every student feels more confident in their English.
But my students are not all business focussed. Some want overall general English improvements. Perhaps they are working towards an examination – IELTS/TOEFL/OET or Trinity / Cambridge exams (ISE /SELT / PET / FCE / CAE) in order to go to an overseas university or work in a native English speaking country and secure a work visa.
Other students are keen to improve their level to help on their travels, visiting friends or family in English speaking countries, or are excited about being able to understand films, television programmes, books, magazine articles or podcasts in English.
Every day is a school day. Every day is an opportunity to learn, to improve ourselves and to enrich our knowledge. That is why I am lucky to be an English teacher. I experience the journey alongside my students. Yes, I feel the frustration at times (3rd conditionals…passive vs active voice…gerund and infinitives etc), but I delight in seeing my students improve, make progress and grow in confidence.
My measurement of success is always whether my students have
i) been engaged and interested in each lesson
ii) enjoyed the lesson and left the class smiling
iii) spoken with confidence and without fear of making mistakes
When you enjoy something, you tend to do much better at it. That also includes teaching. I love teaching English and my students have been kind enough to leave many positive reviews and testimonials.
So, is it time for a new beginning for you? Time to commit to learning English, to making the progress you really want.
