Teaching beginners. Beginners divide into the following groups: the absolute beginner, the false beginner, the adult beginner, the young beginner, the beginners without Roman alphabet.
This categories can help teacher to prepare to the future lessons, and focus on the strengths and weakness of the same category.
Teaching individual students have some advantages such as no mixed levels, usually highly motivated students, needs can be clearly defined, developing a close relationship with the students, etc.
Teaching children can be one of the most rewarding of all student classes to teach. Children possess an innate curiosity, which is in itself a motivating factor. The teacher's role is of primary importance here, because the children will look to the teacher for guidance and it is unlikely that they will have any motivational considerations outside of that provided by the teacher. Basically keep it fun, varied and at a good pace.
