General teaching guidance

General advice, not the employer’s requirements. Check the posting for how this role works.

A good lesson gives a young learner something small they can do by the end. Model it, let them try, and change the activity when attention fades. Gestures, pictures and simple props can help when words are new. Match your pace to the child and the lesson format, and check the employer’s approach to materials, parent updates and missed sessions.
