Wow, I now can see why the students love you. You have it, Therry, it comes naturally and you always make a big effort to make the subject always interesting. I wish I had a teacher like you. A male version, of course.

If I were a male teacher, and you were my student… ooooooooooooooh yeah!!!

One thing I am really curious about: how do your ‘students’ call you? Is it Ma’am or only by name?

See, even through teaching you can vent out your creativity. Love the menu card. As a part time student myself, it is necessary for me to follow interesting lectures, otherwise I won’t pay that much attention. You did very good!

Thank you, Yoyen!!

They say “Ma’am” when they rise their hands up in answering questions but when they greet me they call me “Miss” + first name

Nowadays I like to cheer the students up by showing funny videos or clever advertisement in English, after I grill them with difficult quizzes. I think I taught them much too difficult material than what they’d expect! LOL. But I just want my students to know that learning English is not only about passing the test but also to prepare them on their real job which is to interact with American guests!

I didn’t see the menu, did I?? *amnesia gini ya?*
but you did good, and that was awesome the way you prepared, isman is right, i think you scored the job from that alone.
miss u babes, i was busy with guests this weekend..

No, you didn’t get to see the menu, I totally forgot to show it to you! The Cheat Sheet was my main concern, as you already knew! I saw your weekend picture… Yan was doing some funny poses! LOL

If I were the one doing the evaluation, The Cheat Sheet and Ratatouillé ideas alone would've scored you the job. I've seen too many teachers/tutors/lecturers spend too little time on preparing _relevant_ materials. Hope you can keep that quality up after getting the job. Routinity will tempt you to water it down. But I know you can kick that temptation in the butt. isman´s last blog post..General Election: A Long Leap of Faith

Thanks, Isman! I'm trying to keep the quality up, and there are days, I admit, when I feel like I haven't given my best and I truly disappoint myself. I do hope that the routinity won't make me a lame teacher!
