How's everyone's weekend going? I hope it is better than mine.
Running on 3 hours of sleep and 0% patience ...
I have always been understanding and patient, that's the reason why I chose this profession, I know that language is not an easy thing to learn, and that it is extra difficult for children who has zero knowledge about it, but today is different, my patience did not just wear thin, in fact, it ran out, i appreciate honest student who can tell me directly if the topic is hard, so i can adjust the pacing or change the topic for the time being, i remember one time there was a student who cried while telling me that she can't really get the grammar and that she felt stupid, and it is completely okay, that means the child wants to learn but the topic is too much for her, and so we can take a break and try again.
I'm a tutor, it is my job to simplify, explain and teach, but this particular student, will just get in the room, turn off her camera, and casually scroll on other apps (I can hear the background sound actually), so despite the gazillionth times of repeating, she can't really get to say it, she will say it right once and when i ask her again, it's wrong again, ( the kind of feeling in a toxic relationship, where you keep on coming back, because sometimes it feels good and then he will make you mad again), and the worst part of the day is when i told her mom about it? she just told me to let her, WHAT?! Let her what? Play? How about just take a break and play and not attend the class?
I can no longer explain my facial reaction in this class recording, It's hard to add a filter and smile and my co teacher said I look scary when I’m angry, honestly, I am not angry… I am disappointed.
I hope i didn’t ruin your weekend, I might as well cancel the remaining classes in the afternoon and have a break instead,i want to turn this day into something nice, after my blood pressure spiked.
Happy Weekend, folks.
P.S.
I re-uploaded the video but still no sound, meh.
