I'm considering joining Preply. Did this student book some more lessons? What percentage of students actually books lessons with you after a trial? Love your channel. Keep up the great work!

@livhu101 lots of practice and learning to take notes while listening.
I rarely leave comments, but being new to Preply and having my first trial lesson booked, this video (and a few I've previously watched) was so helpful. I appreciate having people like you I can turn to, and so easily at that! Thank you, thank you!
I’m American and have lived in the US all my life, but I studied abroad in England (at the University of Manchester) for 6 months at the beginning of 2021 and fell in love with it. I recently ordered some Heinz beans and salad cream off of a website that sells British foods because I was missing beans on toast quite a bit… hearing your accent and talk about England made me head into the kitchen and eat some while watching this video! Speaking of the video, it was very helpful - thank you! I have my first ever lesson with a student tomorrow and this is a great guide and structure for how to teach.

Best of luck with your first lesson tomorrow and let me know how it goes. I’m sure you’ll do well - without a doubt. Have a splendid Christmas and all the best for 2023.

Sir kindly share your own first trial video on preply to guide them well
This is a great trial lesson and I was able to inculcate so many useful points into my own teaching. Creating an atmosphere that allows students to speak uninhibited is a win-win always :) I would love to ask you though @SeoulForeigner how do you manage to have all these points jotted down over a Wordfile whilst simultaneously sharing your screen for the icebreaker discussion? I use a similar approach where I ask my students to speak on a topic but note sentences as they speak it. However, I like this idea more!

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to write a comment. When it comes down to student feedback, when students are speaking, I am writing simultaneously in a Word file with what they mention. Once they have finished that specific part of the speaking, I then share the file and go through it bit by bit providing feedback where necessary. If they have said something that is good, I tend to try to provide some additional way of how to say things more naturally with idiomatic expressions or other colloquial phrases. I hope this helps and thank you ever so much for your comment. It is greatly appreciated. Regards, Martin 😊

Hi David. Thank you for the message and I’m so pleased that this is helpful. I recorded the session through Zoom and my screen and all was recorded automatically. I have no other way at the moment to record my teachings via Preply I’m afraid.
Martin asked 'What is P n L?' It stands for Profit and Loss Statement.
Hi Martin not a question so much as a comment on this. For an intermediate student I'm a bit surprised that you'd post your introduction questions in writing on a Powerpoint. I find as a teacher that it's easier to assess a student's listening and speaking level if you don't give them that visual scaffolding. Just my personal opinion though - I admire your amazing level of preparation for this!
Any recommendation for a trial lesson with an A0 student? Pls, help!
Please cancel what is the specifications of laptop I need to teach effectively at preply?
Hey Martin, I appreciate your content. This video gave me a few new ideas to add to my trial session slides. I have a couple of questions, though: 1. When it comes to placement, do you rely only on the trial session's oral assessment or do you assess other skills as well? If yes, how exactly do you do it? especially for IELTS students. 2.Also, what's your go-to textbook series?
@SeoulForeigner
6 ай бұрын
When it comes down to the placement for IELTS students, I tend to disregard the placement test on Preply but assess during the trial lesson. I also get students to complete some written task from the IELTS. For your second question, I have a range of materials but not focus on a particular book as each student requires something unique and specific. I usually use a range of topics and materials from online sources such as IELTS Liz or LinguaHouse. There are plenty of materials available online and if you want a coursebook to help you then it’s a good place to get started.

Google Jamboard is being discontinued unfortunately and it makes sense to share anything as early as possible. Consider sharing links and material before the lesson to avoid any issues.
Could you share this lesson template?
Please sir can you give guide on how to use a preply platform to teach effectively to us new teachers And a trial lesson for student with no knowledge in English language.

“What do you like to get up when you have free time?” All of the British shows and movies I’ve watched, I’ve never heard this sentence? Is it normal? I’m very surprised. It sounds terribly odd. I’m so surprised I’m thinking it’s an error but surely you would have caught it. Please clarify if this is proper/typical British English. Thanks!

It’s a typo and rather clumsy at best. The question is meant to be: “What do you like to get up to when you have free time?”. It was a common question used during spoken exams and then regraded if learners couldn’t understand.
Very helpful Martin. Don't you think the "Ask Martin questions" part takes speaking time away from the students? Don't get me wrong, it's great for the student to learn more about you to connect with you. It can be a nice listening activity, although I quite can't help but think there are way better ways to use that time. If I were a teacher I would feel a bit guilty for taking that time away from them.
