'Sotoy' tips for you in teaching and learning English only by a 'click' (Part 1)

I'd like to share my 'sotoy' tips to you guys, since I'm an English teacher (not yet in mastering it, because I'm still learning and finding the way how to get 'the click' in teaching different students), I would like to share my way of teaching and approaching the students personally through English lessons. Lucky for me, I have more than ten years of experience in teaching different level, different age and different strategies to get 'the click' to my students.

The first thing to have for teachers is (in my opinion)a tremendous willing in making other people as smart as they could in the simplest way. In this case, you don't have to be 'ngos-ngos-an' or jor-jor-an' in teaching the students. Believe in yourself that YOU CAN make them learning English in a very simple way that even the dummies can understand the way you teach. Have the guts first...Grab the willing, spread your caring in every steps of your teaching in the classroom. Prove yourself that you are the best teacher in the world by not leaving your students in confusion in the materials you are teaching at. Once you create frowning faces of your students, meaning that your explanation is still too complex for them to understand. Try to simplify your explanation simpler. Examples are certainly needed. Use facts, recent issues, etc. Please not giving the students examples that they even have no ideas about it. There...now you know that there's no perfect way of teaching since we have various types of students in the classroom. No willing, no teaching please...you will only create a massacre of students' feeling by giving them tasks and assignments with many confusion in their minds where they don't know what to do and what should do. They'll hate you a lot.. for that one I can tell. They will swear at you with bad words...etc (you know more than me, perhaps)

The second thing is (again in my opinion), you must have the bravery in teaching more students. I can guarantee, the more characteristics of students you are teaching, the more strategies you will find and will have. Of course, for beginner, do not worry for being failed in teaching regular class for the first time, everyday of your teaching will be the new step for you to make your lesson's getting more interesting. Once you can handle more than one student, it will be a lot more easier for you to handle a private student. Just remember, the more supplement of your lessons, the more interesting the knowledge you share to your students. Do you agree?



Still with deni 'the sotoy marotoy' agus. Did I write teaching and learning English only by a 'click'? Ouh, yes... sorry for that. Shall we continue? (thank U)
So how can a teacher teach the students in the simplest way that the students can understand? Ouuh...that is so easy.

I will share that one in different entry.

Enjoy it.

It's time for me to go home...
I'll write more tomorrow (I promise)

my working place

FYI, I'm an English teacher. At present, I'm working at Future School of English. I've been teaching at this company for almost three years, I've been becoming Future's teacher from 2007 (well, now I'm entering my third year here, though).

There are two best things working in this company. The first is, they have an outstanding working atmosphere. They have big tolerance with every people's belief. I'm a Muslim and I'm wearing a veil, although the owners of this company are not Muslims, they really appreciate my skills in teaching English not by seeing my appearance only. So, wearing a veil is not a problem working in this company, totally no Biggies.

Another thing is that, I have a very small body, I don't even reach for 150 cm. But again, this company doesn't see me from my tiny body(that's for sure). Personality is the main thing they see, I guess. I only try to show them that I'm a good Muslim and I can teach excellently ('narsis' mode: on)

That's all for now. Thank U for reading this 'gajebo' thing. ^_^

my first blog

At first, I thought making a blog was quite difficult, so that I postponed for making it for several years (such a 'gaptekker' right, well you can say that again). But today, here I am, writing an unimportant thing in my own blog after clicking this and that, clicking here and there...and... tada.... it's a wrap.

U know, it is really fun when u know that you're a typical of person who likes to write anything, even writes many things in your life...all about your life, and you have the media to help you to express all of your feelings. And I can do all those things here. Having a blog, what a nice thing to have.



Welcome to my blog then
