What is Language Coaching? Part 1/2

Which cameras do you use?

For our live lessons and videos filmed from home, we both use the Logitech C920 HD Pro USB 1080p Webcam. It’s an excellent, affordable camera which is perfect for High Definition Video Conferencing and even vlogging. Highly recommended!
She sounds like a politician, a lot of unnecessary words and syntagms which don’t mean anything or very little. I’ll tell you what coaching a language really is: one on one tutoring. The end, thank you, that would $5. The term coach is used by people who are targeting higher income and wealthier clientele. When you tell someone you are a teacher…its like saying you’re a shepherd…but when you tell someone you’re a coach…it’s like saying you’re a horticultural and agronomist manager. See what I mean?
@Dr. Boinker’s Bookkeeping at a surface level sure but I’d hope that a CEO would be able to compare providers based upon the value of their services irrespective of their self appointed title. This woman is using the coaching methodology of life coaches/executive coaches, it’s a coaching methodology in addition to traditional language learning methods. I think she finds it difficult to explain in simple terms what she offers but she’s def. Legit and offering services above and beyond any language providers I know and I’m planning to pursue this path as well. What services do you offer your students? Are you in China? I’m in Japan.
@Carl Zammit That’s true yes, but there is no coaching methodology that isn’t already implemented in basic teaching methodologies. Coaching is a relatively new term that sprung out of the teaching bubble I just think it’s quite misleading. A CEO of a company in China would very much prefer to hire a language coach to an English teacher. On my business card I’ve put “language coach” even though I’m a simple teacher. I just know there’s a bigger chance for me to be hired by a higher paying customer that way. It’s all marketing I guess.
That’s a possibility, someone offering the same service could brand themselves as a coach in an effort to try and get higher paying customers sure however, coaching is a methodology in it’s own right and if a teacher uses a coaching methodology and thus offers additional services it has value. I think the confusion is comparing titles instead of methodologies, you can call yourself a teacher and still use a coaching methodology. There are also different styles of coaching.
Sorry , can’t agree with that. Yes, I have seen so many people misusing the term coach just for beneficial gains. But, there is really a difference. A coach really goes beyond than a traditional tutor. English is my second language and I met many different tutors and English teachers and it took me a really long time to master the language. I still, of course, make many mistakes and have a thick accent. But, I always wondered if there would be a person who specializes on helping you master the language and could be actually there for you any time you have a doubt. I know a coach won’t be there 24/7 but they actually do a very good job at helping you navigate through the difficulties of learning the language on an almost daily basis if you want to. I am a tutor. I love my students, but I don’t expect them to email me during a day I’m not supposed to see them to ask me a random question. I do make goals with them, but it’s on them 100% to achieve them and work on them without me. I’ll only focus on the teaching and answering questions on the days I see them. I prepare my lessons in advanced, they have a syllabus (I do adjust it accordingly) and we have the hour long lesson and I don’t expect to hear from them until the next session. They can email me, but it’s really not my priority to answer them right away. Whereas, when I hired a coach (yes, it was too expensive for me so I couldn’t continue), she would call me whenever she thought of an idea for me to try on a day, she would challenge me, I could email her 24 hours and she would respond almost immediately, she knew techniques to make me feel less anxious and nervous about speaking the language, and always would hear all of my frustrations about the language and mistakes I thought I made, and taught me how to look for many other resources that would help me along the way. My regular teachers and tutors never did that.
