New instructor tips [#permalink] New post   19 Apr 2021, 02:08
Hello all.

I recently have decided that I want to pursue GMAT tuition and I have started doing free trials for students. I have done a couple now and have struggled to directly target the needs of the students so that I could work on their specific needs. The first student didn’t have the quant ability and I tried to work on quadratics, indices, and roots, whereas the second was a lot stronger and we did some questions.

How do instructors on here structure their first lessons and are there any tips for a new instructor?

Thanks,
Russell

Hi

Some youtube videos might help you to make classes better in every way. I am going to give you a link in which a manhattan prep instructor presents a lecture, answers a query, marks important things and raises questions, and resolves them. There is a lot to learn from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3A9YyFw-UQ&t=58s

Best wishes!

Welcome to GMAT Club!

You never learn as much as when you try to teach someone ;-)
It is tricky and you kind of have to customize the program for each person. You want to get a sense what their strengths are and where they are weak so you want to give them some kind of a diagnostic exercise. Perhaps they can take it ahead of time or maybe you do it as a few questions to get a sense of what they lack. Over time you will get a hang of what most people lack.

Thanks for sharing! I have embedded your video. Good luck!

PS. Thank you for the kind words about GMAT Club 🥳 Very kind of you. I’m curious how you find Magoosh for your needs. Traditionally it’s been a fairly intense course that focuses on the highest ROI in time/score ratio.

Curious about your experience and feedback 👍
