Recently I started a new private tuition job at a local private school in England, tutoring English to two young Japanese boys (6 and 8).
This is my first paid teaching job, and I was very lucky to receive it as I am still working towards my degree at university and I did not have experience teaching children before.
So far it is going very well, but I feel that the youngest pupil's attention is wearing very thin. I have used everything I can think of: puppets, stuffed toys, drawings, Pokemon cards, games; but he gets sick of all of them after one minute!
Has anyone any advice or tips for me regarding private tuition with young children? I can imagine they'd rather be learning (or not) with their friends, but there is nothing I can do about that.
Thank you :)
