Hi! Thank you for your question!
The hardest part for me, when teaching a class of students, is trying to make sure that every single student is actually learning what I am teaching! Because every student is different when it comes to their learning abilities, and a pace of learning.
When I do private1-1 teaching, what I find difficult is "changing" the student's "own language" thinking into "English" thinking! When they learn English, they still "speak" their own lanquage using English words. But that is because they haven't an experience in living with English native speakers. However, thanks to the modern communication technology, they can supplement their learning by using authentic materials, found on the internet , for example!
Thanks a lot for this important question.
Actually, the most difficult part in teaching English is trying to make students 'break the ice' when they start speaking. Most students know the grammatical rules and they can write well, but when it comes to reading or even to speaking, they get confused and express themselves in an inappropriate way. Accordingly, I usually try to have simple conversations with them at the beginning, and then we develop our work gradually.
