Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about English lessons, scheduling, learning materials, and getting started with Teacher Mike.

Do you offer a free trial lesson, and what happens during it?

Absolutely! I offer a free 25-minute trial lesson where we can get to know each other, explore your English level and discuss your learning goals. You'll also get to experience my teaching style and ask any questions before deciding whether to continue.

Do you teach complete beginners and adapt to different age groups?

I teach children, teenagers, and adults at all English levels, including complete beginners. Each lesson is tailored to the student's age, learning pace, and individual goals, so everyone can learn in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Do you offer private lessons and small group classes?

Most of my lessons are one-on-one, allowing me to focus on each student's individual needs. However, I also offer small group lessons for siblings, friends, or family members who would like to learn together. Just get in touch, and we can discuss a suitable learning plan and schedule.

What qualifications does Teacher Mike have?

I understand how demanding school can be, especially when students have lots of homework or exams coming up. If your child can't attend, just let me know! We can cancel that day's lesson without deducting it from your package and simply continue at our next scheduled session. I want English lessons to be something students look forward to, not another source of stress.

What platform and equipment are required for lessons?

Lessons take place online via Zoom or VooV Meeting (Tencent Meeting). All you need is a computer or tablet, a stable internet connection, a working camera and microphone, and a quiet place to learn. Headphones are recommended but not required. I'll send you the meeting link before your lesson, so getting started is easy!

Can classes fit around busy school schedules and exams?

Of course! I understand that students have busy school schedules and other commitments. We'll work together to find regular lesson times that fit your availability and mine. I also teach students in different time zones, so we'll make sure your schedule is convenient and easy to follow.

What learning materials are used, and is homework assigned?

I use carefully selected Oxford and Cambridge coursebooks based on each student's age, English level, and learning goals. During our lessons, we work with the Student Book, while the Workbook provides practice between classes. Homework is tailored to each student's needs and school workload, so they can reinforce what they've learned without feeling overwhelmed. All learning materials are included in your lesson package.

How do you track progress and communicate with parents?

I monitor each student's progress through classroom activities, homework, regular reviews, and periodic assessments. I also stay in direct contact with parents through WeChat to share feedback, celebrate achievements, and discuss areas where their child may need extra support. This way, we can work together to help each student progress at their own pace.
