Chapter 037: The Reconstruction of Life

After the cooperation was confirmed, the frequency of Gu Wenming and Liang Yifei meeting skyrocketed, three days at most, one day at least, and they would inevitably meet at the café at the entrance of the school.

Although Gu Wenming is now playing the role of a 'professional manager', there are only two people in the school at present, and no matter how big Liang Yifei's heart is, it is impossible to leave everything to Gu Wenming to do.

The first thing is to recruit teachers.

Gu Wenming is one, but one teacher is definitely not good, according to Liang Yifei's idea of 'rolling out', initially, there must be at least five or six teachers who can be fixed.

"My idea is that there will be one class every night a week, which is six teachers, and on the weekends, they will focus on foreign cultures, the process of going abroad, interviewers interviews, test-taking methods, and other technical and procedural things. ”

Gu Wenming's eyes lit up, Liang Yifei's arrangement, as soon as he heard it, he was not a layman!

The cram school is not a nine-year compulsory English course for education, but is mainly aimed at people who have not passed the exam or interview, are preparing to study English abroad, and are not sure to go abroad but have the intention of going abroad.

It is obviously not appropriate to lay a solid foundation just like school teaching, and all preparations must be aimed at 'exams'.

"It's a little early now, but Lao Gu, you have to have a number in your heart, we have teachers, not only class time, but also to study the exam questions and key points of the past years, and even guess the questions, these research results are our cram school, and we must have our own core competitiveness!" Liang Yifei advised.

Take the TOEFL and GRE test papers over the years, compare and analyze each type one by one, and then give lectures on how to make test papers, analyze test-taking skills, and intersperse corresponding vocabulary and grammar teaching according to the questions.

It's a good idea to be able to summarize the 'test-taking rules'.

For example, in a certain type of multiple-choice question, the probability of which answer is relatively large, which grammar knowledge points often appear in the question, and how to guess if you can't understand reading comprehension.

It's best to get some universal routines for composition, and you can apply any type of composition you encounter.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, after the team is built, take it slowly, and accumulate little by little.

"This idea is particularly right!" Gu Wenming nodded, he has been a student for more than ten years, and he has been a teacher for so many years, and he knows very well that between learning and exams, he may not be able to draw an equal sign.

That's a question of test-taking skills!

Of course, he can also discuss this with Liang Yifei, if this kind of thinking is spread in school, it will definitely be regarded as 'opportunistic' and criticized fiercely!

"Now the key is still the teacher, you have to solve it as soon as possible. Counting you, seven teachers are the most basic, in addition, it is best to have a few who can occasionally come to the top, if you can't find it, if any teacher has something to do temporarily, you will be the principal! Anyway, there must not be a situation where no one substitutes for the teacher, if there is, even once, all the salary of your principal for a month will be deducted!"

Later, Liang Yifei's tone was already very serious.

"That's fine, if it's fast, it will be solved in a day. Gu Wenming is very confident that there are too many teachers who take on jobs privately in the tutoring market.

Liang Yifei shook his head and said, "Old Gu, it's not like any teacher can ask for anything!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely look for someone with a high level and a strong academic background!" Gu Wenming said.

"It's not all!" Liang Yifei said.

That's what he had to make clear.

High level, high education, and a large number of words are of course important, but in cram school, this is not the most important, it can only be said to be the foundation!

To recruit teachers, you don't necessarily need academic titles, as long as you have certain teaching experience, whether you are a high school or a university teacher, whether you are a lecturer or a professor, there is no problem.

But there are two requirements.

First, the spoken language must be standard!

Speaking is a big problem, due to historical reasons, most of the current English teachers, including college English teachers, are self-taught, vocabulary, grammar is quite OK, but as soon as you open your mouth, there is a strong local accent.

As soon as you open your mouth, the teacher with a local accent tells you to follow him, you can go to the United States, do you believe it?

"If you put it in place, even if you are a liar and fool people, you have to do superficial work, you have to buy a straight suit, right? As soon as you open your mouth, you will have an accent, and the first impression on the student will be very bad, he will not accept you, and this lesson will not continue!" Liang Yifei said.

"Well, that makes sense!" Gu Wenming made a note in the small notebook.

The second requirement is that the teacher must have personal characteristics.

The lecture should be vivid, and it is best to be able to tell jokes and jokes to drive the atmosphere of the class.

Some teachers have a high personal level, but the lectures are very boring, this kind of person, no matter how high the level is, no matter how many papers have been published, the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences can't do it!

Of course, the basic level of English still needs to be met.

Liang Yifei added: "What is a talent, it is not about deep qualifications, high education, strong ability must be a talent, suitable for this position, then he is a talent for this position!

Liang Yifei's words won Gu Wenming's heart.

After engaging in paid tutoring for a while, he knows the way very well.

There is no essential difference between a teacher who has mastered 15,000 words and 12,000 words, who has published papers internationally, and who has published blackboard newspapers in English only.

As long as the level reaches the baseline and is not indiscriminate, then this difference can be ignored.

The most intuitive feeling of students is the teacher's oral expression, and what can arouse students' interest in learning the most, in addition to the utilitarian purpose, is the teacher's personal style.

To put it bluntly, when the student is happy, he is willing to pay money, his interest is aroused, he is willing to learn, and only after learning well can he help you do publicity.

But in college, such a thing must not be spoken.

Personal style, skills, etc., are useful, but if they are overemphasized, they are crooked and heretical, masters, and most of them are boiled out.

Gu Wenming is like this, no matter how vivid his lectures are, how popular the students are, and how good the teaching effect is, it will not be of substantial help to his job promotion and reward selection.

On the contrary, the more active he is and the more he can attend classes, the heavier the work assigned to him.

This chat, until one o'clock in the evening, the café was about to close, and the two of them left.

Blown by the night breeze, Liang Yifei yawned, but Gu Wenming felt energetic!

It's strange to say, since he made up his mind to follow Liang Yifei to school, Gu Wenming felt that this day seemed to have changed his life, not only the contradictory mood before was gone, but the whole person was still very motivated from morning to night.

Tired is tired, different from the previous kind of tiredness, in the past, life forced him to be tired, gritted his teeth and stiffened, now, he wants to do it, he feels that he is full of inexhaustible strength, and he can't wait to immediately put He Liang Yifei's vision for the future into action!

According to Liang Yifei's words, this is the difference between living for yourself and living for others.
