When you are first assigned a new student, the first session will likely be titled "Meet Your Teacher". There are several goals for the initial assessment session:

👋Develop rapport

🧑‍💼Discuss their role so you can pinpoint which English skills will be most relevant

🏁Help them decide on the goals for the course and plan how you will achieve them

📚Give them a tour of our platform and the Talaera Library

📝Do a sample activity or two to gauge their level and get them excited

The first session with a student who is new to Talaera is 45 minutes. Each subsequent session will be 60 minutes in length.

Here is the suggested structure for your first session together:

Please see the first session roadmap to get a detailed breakdown of these steps.

💡TIP: Be sure to exchange emails with your student in the first session. 📧
