Good morning guys.
Selamat pagi.
Goeie more.
And welcome back to my channel.
You guys have always been very curious to see my teaching routine and how I do it
and everything about it so in today's video I want to show you guys exactly that.
Just a little disclaimer from the start of the video I just want to mention that I'm not allowed to show the children's faces.
For any matter just posting children's faces online without getting their parents permission is never a good idea.
As you guys can see I'm always dressed, my face (makeup) is ready.
I have my cup of tea here as well.
Because I didn't wanna show you guys the regular morning routine.
Like brushing my teeth, getting dressed and making my bed and blah blah blah.
You guys already know that is a regular morning routine.
I specifically want to focus on what I do for my teaching
and how I get ready for my teaching.
So I'll be showing you guys more or less how it works.
How I get ready for it.
The kind of props that I use. The age groups.
I will also be sharing some tips.
It's basically a lot of acting,
so it's not me speaking as I am now, unless the child is a little bit older.
If the child is young, like I lean 4, 5, 6, 7 maybe all the way up until 9 years old,
I usually have to act very, very energetic and very childlike
and use a lot of cute toys or teddies and props to kind of keep their attention because they're still so young.
I'm actually really energetic today.
I'm just trying to keep myself composed for the video
but in reality I'm like
* runs *
I don't know why cause I haven't had coffee.
Teaching dress code
Just because you're teaching from home doesn't mean that you don't have to dress appropriately.
Of course you are still working for a company and you're still working with kids
so it's important that you wear something like long sleeve or T-shirt.
Luckily the students will not he seeing what you're wearing at the bottom
so you can basically wear any comfortable pants that you want.
But for the most part just make sure that you're wearing something comfortable
at the bottom like stretchy tights if you're a female.
Or just really baggy, comfortable pants.
Or sweatpants.
"Connecting to wifi"
"teaching platform"
"checking my bookings"
"Blue = BOOKED classes. Orange = OPENED SLOTS (can still be booked) Pink = REJECTED classes (leave or holiday)
"24 hour timetable"
So my first student is actually 12 years old
and I'm really happy that I have her first because she's old enough so I don't have to be too energetic.
So it's a nice way to warm up before I get to the younger kids.
Because if you teach younger kids you need a lot, A LOT of energy.
For the most part they're not THAT busy and they actually do listen.
But here and there obviously you will find a child who maybe is super distracted.
So I have this little white cylinder.
It was actually a Pringle box lol I just took the paper off and I painted it white.
This is the props that I will be using and that I do use in my everyday classes.
I do have to give rewards to the kids if they do really well.
For majority of the girls I would give a rose reward because they really like the flowers.
I have like a star over here and it has these things because it makes it look like a shooting star.
Different kinds of smiley faces.
They really, REALLY like these smiley faces because it makes them super happy.
This is the magic lollipop 🍭.
Like all the kids LOVE this reward.
Whether it's a boy or a girl they just love it
"Class bloopers"
sometimes crazy things happen in class as well.
Like this one time I was teaching and the student just straight up took me with him to the bathroom.
And he took a (poop).
So it was a little bit awkward "just a little bit".
But I told him I will turn off my camera, and my mic or something and I will wait for you
and he's like no, no, no continue
and I'm like wait did you say I should continue teaching? While you're taking a... a poop?
I'm not sure about that.
"Class props".
I have these Minnie mouse ears
because what would teacher Minnie be without Minnie mouse ears.
Oh my gosh how many times am I gonna take off these glasses.
So there's not much like prepping needed for my first class because the student is quite, she's quite smart.
So yeah I don't have to get any props for that.
But for my second class however I need to to get a few so let's go do that.
This will be my.main prop for class number 2.
So I will just basically position the teddy wherever I want it and then I will ask the child
where is the teddy? And the child will say "on my head".
Where is the teddy? "The teddy is BELOW or at the bottom"
where is the teddy? "The teddy is next to me"
There's also shapes in my second class but usually I have everything that I need at home.
I don't really have to buy a lot of props when it comes to classes.
I will just use, even this. Canon lens cap.
It's a circle so I can literally use this, thats perfectly fine.
I can use this one for the square. My 3rd class and my 2nd class is literally the exact same topic.
IN, ON, IN FRONT, BETWEEN, BESIDE

Ok so that was a nice student.
"The next students voice is only in my headsets for privacy concerns + he us much younger and super busy so I had to listen carefully"
Hiii!!!
Let's do some stretches before we start.
Look! I'm wearing a long sleeve sweater,
scarf. It's really cold.
You're wearing no sleeves!
So it's really warm.
Summer in China that's why it's so warm.
And it's winter in my country South Africa.
Oh teacher can't see you, your camera is black ???
Why is your camera black?
Oh I think maybe you should try to exit and enter class again
Can you see teacher? Teacher can't see you :(
Ok I can't see or hear my student so I need to contact the CS and managers now.
There's something wrong with the classroom. This happens sometimes.
Problem fixed!!
1) Animals 2) Furniture and 3) Family
* Student has to explain where the dog is in the classroom pictures *
Have to act a lot and be VERY SWEET AND ENERGATIC because he is young.
"Writing reports (Feedback) for every student"
Hip hip hooray, I'm done teaching for the day!
See you in the next video thanks for watching :)
