EET Teri 老師英文家教課 上課心得
Hello, my name is Ryan. I’m a student in
EET and I’ve been learning English with teacher Teri for more than two years
now. Time flies! I didn’t expect that I can keep learning English for such a
long time. I had some unforgettable experiences in other cram schools before. Learning
English wasn’t fun for me at that point in time. I had to convince myself that
I made progress every time the class was finished and force myself to attend
the next class. That was torture! I spent lots of money but I only went to the
class less than twenty times a year. When the contract expired, I gave up
learning English until I came back from a holiday in Germany.
I
found that I was keen to talk to people from different countries and I wanted
to have a good time talking with them when I was on my trip in Germany.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t make my desire come true. I was deeply frustrated
that I had learnt English for a long time, but I couldn’t even talk to people.
Hence I made up my mind that when I come back from that trip, I want to be available
to learn how to talk to people in English fluently.
I
searched for a lot of information on the Internet. There were lots of options I
could choose from, but I was afraid I would mess it up again. I decided to give
EET a try because they offer one-on-one lessons. That is an attractive feature
which differs from other cram schools. I guessed EET might be the one I need so
I took a chance.
Then
I met teacher Teri. She is a very considerate person. Every time I ask her for
help with correcting my essays, she’s always patient reading my poor essays. We
start with reading through the essays and sometimes I can find out mistakes by
myself. Plus, Teri will put herself into the circumstances trying to fix my
essays using my point of view. In this way, I can feel she treats me with
respect. I really like this method which I didn’t get while I was in school and
cram schools. Teri is a reliable teacher. She gives me extra information about
the topic we are talking about which is very useful and essential. She never
forces me to finish the lesson we are having before the class dismisses. If
there are any words, phrases or slangs I don’t understand, she will ask me to
look up my dictionary first. Then if I still can’t get it, she will explain the
meaning to me or make sentences to help me understand. I think that’s Teri’s
principle and it’s good for me because I won’t have to take questions home and
it helps me cultivate a positive habit --do not ask for help right away when
you come across problems. Now I’m used to solving problems by myself by looking
up the dictionary and I learn a lot from the dictionary.
Casual
talk and Break the Ice (A card game with open-ended questions) are the teaching
approaches that I like most. These two ways not only create a pleasant and
relaxed atmosphere but also gives me more chances to practice speaking. During
class, it would take me some time to answer Teri’s questions and I couldn’t
answer well very often. However, I don’t feel disappointed. I would think about
the questions and my answers again on my way home. And a better answer would
come up in my mind from time to time. These methods are good ways to stimulate
thinking in a very short time and that’s exactly what I need.
I’m
not a fast learner and I lose patience occasionally. I can speak fluently right
after practicing but I could remember nothing the next hour. It’s very annoying
and it drives me crazy easily. During these hard times I read a variety of
books, most of them are self-help books. There is an important concept I
learned from these books: all good things take time to happen.
I
am not a very fluent English speaker yet, but when I look back, I could say I’ve
come quite a distance in the way of learning. So the only thing I need to do is
trust myself. I’m glad that I found EET and I have an awesome teacher to
accompany me. Thank you so much!
