Teaching Private Lessons in Japan…Covid
Teaching face to face lessons over the past couple of years has become slightly more complicated, thanks to COVID. Many students and teachers are understandably wary about meeting up for a private language lesson. Those that are willing could then be looking at the added difficulty of trying to teach (and learn) whilst wearing a face mask. As if learning a language wasn’t hard enough…
So Should I Teach in Person?
Orango Japan is a service which brings teachers and students together – we don’t have specific teaching dos and don’ts. What we strongly advise however, is to do whatever you and the student are comfortable with.
If you and your student want to meet up for a lesson and you are both absolutely happy with that situation then go for it – teach your private language lesson face to face.
However, there are opportunities to teach online if you both (or either of you) prefers. We almost all have the internet these days, so teaching a lesson online shouldn’t be difficult and you won’t have to worry about facemasks during the lesson. Just make sure your OrangoTeacher profile reflects how you want to teach.
Stay Safe and Communicate with your Student before your Lesson.
So in short, do only what you feel happy and comfortable with, and also what your language student in Japan feels happy and comfortable with.
Stay safe, stay happy and enjoy your lessons. Good luck.
