You can call me super-teacher.

Ahem. Well, perhaps not superteacher, but I definitely survived my first four hours of giving French and English lessons at the private tutoring program without major embarrassment, and at times (when I got a second to catch a breath) it was even fun. Particularly the moment when I let the last students out of class, packed my stuff up and went to tell the boss that all went well. That was yay.

The kids are all very nice (they range from 13-18 in age, and all but one are boys.) I feel a bit sorry for some of them, their parents must be really ambitious, because their grades aren't that bad and none of them are stupid or terribly lazy.

I have to say that these small classes of four to five people are wonderful. You don't get thirty students with a mob mentality, and you can give each of them attention. You have to pay constant attention, though. In the second lesson, I gave one boy French exercises to do and then suddenly, ten minutes in, I realized that he was an English student. He didn't say a word, though, just seemed slightly confused and uncertain.
