WE WANT ENGLISH TUTORS - ENGLISH CONVERSATIONAL PARTNER
igot.com students are typically looking for a very diverse conversational experience. Most students have already "learned" English in classroom settings, but have not had the experience of speaking and listening to "real" Americans.
It is the aim of the tutors to encourage the students to try to speak freely (without getting embarrassed or discouraged). The students will also learn by listening to the tutors in different accents, dialects and situations. It is good to expose the students to everyday conversations including some idiomatic expressions and slang. It is not necessary to have a teaching curriculum - it is more interesting to pick a topic, such as sports, music, culture, politics or economy and discuss current events.
Also, you may utilize the text "Chat" or the graphics "Whiteboard" to clarify the understanding. Typing the sentence as you speak may enhance and speed up the learning process.
Sometimes it is necessary to speak slowly, but it is also very important for tutors to speak "normally" so that the students are exposed to real situations. Repetition is the key to the success - repeat what you say several times and also make and encourage the student to speak out loud - that is only way to really learn. Try to have fun; students are tired of just learning English, and it is important for you to be a conversation partner.
