Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) certification is not always required for private tutoring. While having a certification can enhance your credibility and provide you with valuable teaching skills, it is not a strict requirement for offering private English lessons. Private tutoring is often more flexible in terms of requirements compared to teaching in formal institutions such as schools or language centers. Many private tutors have a strong command of the English language and may have previous teaching experience, making them qualified to provide effective English instruction without a formal certification. However, obtaining a TESOL certification can offer several benefits for private tutors. It can equip you with...  [Read more]

  The simple answer is no, you do not need to have any knowledge or experience of languages other than English to take a TEFL course or to become an EFL teacher. The ability to speak other languages is not required as the vast majority of TEFL classrooms around the world rely on the communicative approach to English teaching that specifies that English is the only language used in the classroom. In multilingual classrooms where the students could have a dozen or more different first languages, being able to communicate in one or two of them would obviously be of no particular advantage. In monolingual classrooms you may also find that students are more inclined to revert to their mother tongue during the lesson if they are aware that the teacher can understand what is being said....  [Read more]

  Our next consideration is that of giving instructions to our students. In order for those students to effectively carry out an activity, we need to make sure we have given clear and unambiguous instructions. It's also very important to check that the students understand the activity before you start. If you've done that work correctly then the teacher shouldn't need to say anything once an activity has started because the students are very clear about what they're supposed to be doing. So some ideas when giving instructions. As we've mentioned use simple language. Secondly, rather than trying to explain an activity, then do a demonstration which is visual. Thirdly, try to use wherever possible common words that come up within every activity. These would be things like ?look?,...  [Read more]
