Prepare the first Russian class with the student

Being a Russian teacher is not something that can be improvised, as it requires organization and discipline . Your Russian course will have to be prepared in advance.

If you are already before your first class with a student, there is no doubt that you have to put all the meat on the roast in your first class.

Rather, it is about giving a class to measure the levels of the two to know each other and to know if there is a certain  feeling .

During this first meeting, the private teacher must present to the student his training and deepen in those aspects that he commented in his advertisement. It will be up to him to lead the interview and let the student ask his own questions.

In the first place, it is normal for the teacher to present in detail their academic and professional training, as well as their experiences.

Therefore, the most important thing is to describe what your learning method is : how does a class develop with you?

To prepare for your first class with a new student, your student will need to know in detail the CV of his potential teacher, to have confidence in himself and for the teacher to be nice to give him the confidence he needs.

You must show that you know what you are doing and that you know how to organize your class according to the objectives of your student .

These objectives must be defined between the two participants, teacher and student.

Does your student want to discover Russian culture, improve his oral skills, take Russian grammar classes, have an excellent grade on his Russian test, or become bilingual?

Depending on its objective, perhaps you can prepare your future classes with the student.

It is also advisable to give your student a level test (beginner level, intermediate level, advanced level). If he has not seen Russian in his life, it will be easy and you will not have to make him feel bad with questions.

If, on the other hand, the student already has a certain level, you can ask them questions in Russian to see if they can answer but also to take note of their phonetic level through their pronunciation or the use they make of Russian grammar.

Depending on the level, do not limit yourself to asking questions about his name or how old he is, but also more complicated questions so that you can really assess his level as if he has brothers and sisters, what sport he plays …
