I just want to thank you Teacha Karen for making videos about Native Camp. It is very informative and it really help me big time. I passed my DEMO in my first take with Admin Nelly. She is very soft spoken to the point that it washes your nervousness away. Hahaha. The question she asked me is "He COOK it with meat and vegetables." Then I explained the subject-verb agreement. And more questions about class flow. Then she congratulated me with a happy voice. My heart is so happy that I got to meet such a joyful admin. I'm also sharing this because I know there is someone out there who is looking in the comment section a positive feedback of his/her DEMO class. You got this. WE got this!

Thank you for sharing teacher Karen. Admin Francis asked me why we use "if" in (Do you mind if I closed the windows?) I told him it's because the situation is in second conditional hence the verb is in simple past. He told me I was good more than twice but still cut me off after asking this grammar question. The second Admin asked two questions, 1. What's the difference between "ed" and "ing" 2. What's the difference between "phrase" and "sentence". I answered both questions correctly since they were too easy anyway, without even googling them and he kind of scolded me and told me the manual says teachers shouldn't explain things. Well, the thing is this was a demo, not a real lesson. He asked me too many questions which I answered correctly. I was merely answering the many questions they both asked but they both went on to cut me off. I got the impression the questions they asked were scripted and if you get 100% in their grammar assessment (which I did) they really want to fry you as much as possible. There are many online schools out there, if Native Camp doesn't accept you just move on he next to one. You have nothing to loose. Bless up

This is quite upsetting. I kinda felt being fried on purpose too ... and being cut off as well. Honestly, it wasn't a pleasant thing to experience knowing my teaching tenure and credibility. Though, I chose to see it in a different perspective... like I'mma prove you guys wrong... or maybe they kinda fry us to really bring out the best in us... maybe they do this since they're looking for the best of the best (who are willing to be fried LOL) At the end of the day, it's our choice....to stay or not.

It's funny kasi I watched a lot of your videos while preparing for my demo and I was like "hopefully Hindi si admin Francis". BUT he was the admin when I took my demo kahapon. He was nice naman, his voice was calm as well but he did cut me off 😅 he told me I was not energetic enough(?) But I don't see it as enough reason to stop the demo when it was only 3-5 minutes in. Before he left he told me "Don't worry, I'm not failing you" Then I met admin Aerhome. He was amazing! Di din ako nakapasa BUT he gave me a lot of tips, an admin that actually tells you where you lack so you can learn but also praises you that you did well. He saw my potential and said it's not enough to fail me so he wanted me to retake. I hope siya ulit sa last retake ko and I'll apply everything that I've learned from him.

I actually came across admin Francis and failed on my first demo right away. When I ask, please read Today's goal, he simply said I read it but I don't understand it, can you explain it to me. So I panicked but tried my best to explain ( because I followed the demo lesson by heart and did not bother to even read Today's Goal because on the script the student was supposed to do it), and because I panicked, I jumped to ( well basically included in my explanation) Today's Phrase. He then cut me off and stopped the demo. Said that my teaching was good (I'm not sure about that since he cut me off, hahahha) but I failed to ask the student if he understands my explanation. I acknowledge right away that I failed to do that. He then said, he will not fail me but give me another chance and that I need to study my lesson well. So here I am, researching for more tips. Good to come across your video teacha.

He meant he silently read "Today's Goal". Now the question is, does he have to read it aloud? or simply reading it would be fine? it's usually on the script/teaching flow.

Unfortunately, explaining something well is another skill set worth mastering as an ESL teacha. Don't worry, it may take a while but it can be done. What's important is you truly understand the concept. Then try to practice how to explain it to an advanced adult, a beginner adult and a child.

Thank you soooooo sooooo much for your series of videos on Native Camp! I am hoping to apply sometime soon to supplement my income. I run an ESL school from my home already, and because I've been working for myself for so long, I have literally forgotten what it is like to be interviewed for a job! Thinking about it makes me so anxious and nervous! But after finding your videos here, and watching them religiously (whilst taking copious amounts of notes! xD) I feel much better about my chances of NOT screwing up! Just a question though, once you have passed the demo and your account is activated and you are managing to get booked lessons, is it possible to see what that student will be studying before the lesson so you can prepare for it? Or do you just find out once it starts? During your 'self training' do you get access to all their materials in order to study them before you start actually taking on lessons? Sorry if you have already explained this somewhere!

Hi Stephanie, I'm happy to help. Will be uploading more useful content soon (I'm just so busy with my infant. Being a first time mom is kinda driving me crazy sometimes ....in a good way LOL). About your question, yes we get to see the teaching material before our class starts (actually, from the moment, the student books your class). However, they have an option to change the material on the spot while in your class, thus you'd have no time to review / prepare.

Callan is a teaching method / style. I am actually NOT a fan of it simply because it is scripted, fast-paced and repetitive for ME.
