E chào chị.
E đang quan tâm đến lớp Lớp SKILLS + pre. IELTS E49 khai giảng tháng 6/2011:
Lớp 1: 5.30pm thứ 2-3 và 6 hàng tuần => Lớp này chị có thể sắp xếp lùi lại dạy từ 6pm được ko chị? Vì nhìu người đang đi làm như em, 5h30 mới hết giờ làm, 6h học e thấy sẽ hợp lý hơn với mọi người
Lớp 2 : Thời gian học sáng thứ 7 và chiều cn ( e đọc bên ttvnol có lớp này phải ko ạ? ). Cũng hơi khó với những người đã đi làm, hầu hết sáng t7 vẫn phải làm việc
Vậy nên chị có thể sắp xếp lịch 1 trong 2 lớp này lại 1 chút để thuận tiện cho những người đã đi làm có nhu cầu học ko chị?
Nếu có nhìu người có ý kiến như em thì chị xem xét để sắp xếp lại chị nhé ( chứ chỉ có 1 mình em ý kiến thì chắc e phải chờ lớp sau của chị thui ). Hi. Lớp này thì thường bao lâu chị mở một lớp mới ạ?

Hihi, ko đông đâu bạn ạ, mình còn có những lớp 40, 80 HV hoặc lớp Dịch tầm >400 người :")), chỉ có lớp luyện nói IELTS thì mới có 10 hs/ lớp thôi.
Giáo trình do mình thiết kế riêng, đảm bảo độc đáo ko có ở giáo trình phổ thông nào cả bạn ạ, vì mình chọn lọc và thiết kế theo những khó khăn mà chính mình đã trải nghiệm qua quá trình học TA, qua kinh nghiệm từ hàng nghìn hs :"). Còn trình độ thì sau khóa học: thì bạn có thể phát âm chuẩn, nói TA "beautifully", giao tiếp tốt, ngữ pháp toàn diện và biết những cách thức làm các dạng bài trong đề thi IELTS. HS thì ko chăm cũng phải chăm vì mình nghiêm túc trong việc kiểm tra bài tập, tiến độ học của hs, ko làm bài tập là nộp phạt ngay, đánh vào kinh tế thì bác nào cũng sợ hết ^^

 

Ðề: Mời các bố mẹ HỌC TIẾNG ANH ONLINE cùng Mrs. ThuyED (^_^)

Cảm ơn bạn đã quan tâm đến lớp TA của mình, về thời gian học thì với mình cũng hơi khó thay đổi bạn ạ.
Lớp số 1 chắc chắn bắt đầu từ 5.30pm vì sau lớp đấy mình còn dạy 1 lớp từ 7.30-9.00pm nên lùi sang 6pm là điều ko thể được :")
Lớp số 2 thì tạm thời lịch mình đưa ra là 10am thứ 7 và 4.30pm Chủ nhật, lớp hiện tại đã có khoảng 15 người đóng học phí chính thức, mình đang cần khoảng 10 hs nữa, nếu mọi người có nhìu người ý kiến đổi sang chiều thứ 7 thì mình sẽ đổi, tuy nhiên mình thích dạy sáng thứ 7 hơn vì chiều thứ 7 còn cho nhóc con đi chơi :"))
