Feedback is important if you want to improve in your teaching career, or any other skills. Today I share some of my Lingoda feedback and phrases to give feedback, also called constructive criticism. Is it easy for you to listen to constructive criticism and then put it into action so you can improve? Let me know, and thanks for watching!
Very true. Every student and every class can be different, so feedback absolutely helps learn what’s working for that specific class. Thanks for your comment.
I appreciate the distinction you made about students being clients. I also work in a private language school (face to face and not online), and when I'm bringing on new teachers, this is something I really make sure is clear. At the end of the day, the students are why we have jobs, and their satisfaction is critical. One of the things I like to do when observing teachers is to actually observe the students in the class. You can see how engaged they feel from the lesson, how confused they might be about a topic and how the follow up by the teacher clarified or confused them more. It can be a really useful technique.
Thanks for sharing the observation tip. I do most of my teaching online and this is why I suggest to students to have their cameras on. We need to assess their engagement during the class. Here’s to satisfied students! 🙂
I found your channel almost by accident, watched a couple of videos, and I must say I love them so much. You give nice explanations for different things for instance why it's better to give feedback or why students should make their cameras on. Btw, when I have a Ligoda class as a student and see black screens, it makes me a little bit less comfortable. Sometimes I even hide hidden students on Zoom =)
I’m glad my explanations are helpful. The cameras are still an issue with some students. I wish I could hide them on Zoom too! 😉 I hope you subscribed and thank you for your comment.
Hello Kristin! May I ask through which platforms you're currently teaching? I'd like to take some lessons with you. My English is at an advanced level but I need to practice speaking. I'm actually a teacher too (for German) and I've got my Lingoda interview tomorrow. That's how I found your videos. Kind greetings from Germany!
Thank you for wanting to learn with me. Currently I am not teaching through any platform. But if you’d like to talk about possible private conversations, you can email me kristingrady12 (at) gmail (dot) com to discuss. Best of luck with your interview and I’d love to hear how it goes.
@@KristinGrady Hello Kristin! Thank you for your reply. I'll get back at you later via email about possible 1-on-1 conversational lessons. Thank you so much, I'll let you know how my interview went. Money isn't my priority when it comes to teaching but I'm still curious about Lingoda's hourly pay. Up to this point they've been quite secretive about it. I'm sure I'll find out today. Kind greetings and have a nice week! 🌼
@@KristinGrady The interview was good and the interviewer was friendly and professional. The pay is half of what I make at my other teaching job but it's fine with me!
@@nereacerezo4518 I would definitely email again. They have been making lots of upgrades to many processes and could just be behind schedule. I’d send a reminder email asking if they’d reviewed your application and is there a potential opening for you. Good luck!

Feedback is so important. That let’s the teacher know if what they are doing is working for the students.

@@Dispatern I Hope you are not disappointed. Talk to you soon.

@@Dispatern the pay is low and is part of the reason I decided to leave. But I’m glad it went well for you.
Please, you would say how I can give my feedback for the teachers? I don't know how I can do this!!!
I believe they send you an email after the class. Then you click on the sentences that say how you feel about that class.
Hello Kristin! After how long should I apply again in lingoda if I have not received a reply?
How long has it been? And you’re applying to teach? Which langauge?
Thank you for replying! I applied a month ago to teach Spanish

Very pretty person and video.
Awww, thank you for calling me pretty. I hope the video was helpful and thank you for subscribing!
@@KristinGrady You are more than welcome and I wish you great success...positive feedback is always very good. ⚘
