🔮🔮(中+English)嘗試新老師的課會有意外驚喜!!🔮🔮

想學西班牙文很久,有一天在閒聊時被朋友推薦了Amazing Talker這個平台。想要找老師,結果熱門老師全都學生爆滿。結果剛好遇見了新老師Andriana。
Andriana老師是學文學專業的,聰明,熱心,樂於幫助學生。每次聊到關於文學的話題都能感到她的眼睛在閃閃發光🌟🌟🌟
這也讓我開始思考一個問題:嘗試線上課程的新用戶,例如我,剛開始的時候幾乎都會傾向於挑選那些賣出課程最多,評價最好的老師。原因無非是排名靠前的老師经验大多很丰富,能夠把握學生的学习状态,也熟悉網上授課的方式。
但是問題在於,絕大多數學生是不會瀏覽所有的老師的(英文學習板塊就有106頁的老師,應該沒有人會全部瀏覽一邊), 而線上學習網站的教師排名機制決定了出現在前幾頁的老師幾乎都是熱門名師,導致很多的新老師甚至都沒有被學生認識的機會。
而課程數少,評價少的老師就教得不好嗎?在我體驗了若干網站和嘗試了數位新師之後我發現並不是這樣的。反而新老師常常讓我感到驚喜!
接下來想要列舉一些新老師的優勢——

- 更私人的客製化課程
(歸咎于平台抽成機制)熱門教師往往需要投入所有的精力來上課,一天工作10小時以上的全職老師也不在少數。工作強度真的很大,這時咽喉炎,肩頸痠疼之類的職業病就找上門來了⋯⋯我曾經和一名老師上課,因為教得很好所以很快就積累了很多學生,但是沒過多久她就因為過勞生病了,不得不休了一個長假。
所以如果你在學習方面有特殊的要求,例如說需要在一個學期中輔導某一門專業課的內容,這時工作負擔已經很重的老師可能就無法幫助妳了。不過並不是他們不願意,而是心有餘而力不足。這個時候建議去找一找有沒有學這門學科的非熱門老師,也許可以從他們身上得到幫助喔!
(說起來我朋友在大學的時候做兼職輔導美術系的留學生,雖然他念的是經濟系,結果自己把美術系的課程學了一遍然後再教一遍XDDD)

- 時間更好配合
熱門老師們大多都已有了固定的學生群,所以偶爾會出現這樣的情況:點進心儀的老師的頁面,卻發現1個月內幾乎所有時間都已被預約。購買了課程之後發現更改課程時間很困難:取消再約又要多等一個星期。
這時非熱門教師的優勢就很明顯了:更靈活的時間表。若是需要調整上課時間(例如提前/延後30分鐘)一般來說老師都能配合。(為什麼熱門老師不行呢?因為往往課都排滿了,心有餘而力不足呀😢😢)

- 有時會有收穫意想不到友情
這就要說到在很長一段時間裡,我曾是某位老師的唯一一名學生,所以他也對我超級超級超級好XDDDD 也變成了彼此的朋友!我也覺得這樣的友情非常難得,如同盲龟值浮木,要珍惜這樣的緣分呀😄


最後想給新進入平台的學習者一點建議——

- 術業有專攻,根據自己的需求挑選適合妳的老師。例如A和B兩名老師,A老師主修語言學專業,B老師修的是溝通障礙學。
若你正在備考,想要和嚴肅的老師來一個文法大禮包,那麼A老師就是最好的選擇。但如果是妳天生害羞,想要有一名溫柔,不會讓你感到有壓力的老師引導你練習口說,B老師當然是首選。(B老師就是我在AT遇到的老師!真的教得超級好,不過她的課都爆滿近期都約不到我就不在這裡推薦了XDDD)

- 找老師,適合妳的才是最好的!
我的西班牙文老師Andriana是西文文學碩士,而我大學也是和文學相關的內容,所以共同話題超級多!而我們在課堂上真的會練習寫小說!超級有趣XDDD
而且以我多次嘗試線上學習的經驗,當遇到適合妳的老師的時候,真的會有一種一見鍾情的感覺💘💘💘 就是那種雖然沒有說很多話,但覺得將來一定會成為好朋友的的感覺 😁😁 像我第一次和Andriana老師上課的時候就莫名覺得她是個超級聰明的人,所以馬上就決定和她繼續學習了~

New users who try online courses, such as me, always tend to choose the teachers who have sold many lessons and rated the best. The reason is that most of the top-ranked teachers have rich experience, can grasp the learning status of students, and are also familiar with online teaching methods.
But the problem is that most students will not read all the teachers profile (the English learning section has 106 pages of teachers, and no one will see all of them), and many new teachers do not even have the opportunity to be recognized by the students.
But the problem is, -Popular- does not necessarily mean -best-,
those un-popular teachers are also great (actually new teachers always surprise me! )

And I must say: there are many advantages of the new teacher:


- Popular teachers usually have a lot work. So if you have special requirements in terms of learning, for example, you need help of a certain professional course in a semester, then the teacher who is already heavily burdened may not be able to help you. (But not because they are unwilling). In this case, it is recommended to find non-popular teachers who have studied this subject. Maybe you can get help from them!


- Most of the popular teachers already have student groups, so sometime its not easy to book a class with the. Its also difficult to change the time: canceling the appointment means you need to wait for another week.
At this time, the advantage of non-popular teachers is obvious: a more flexible schedule. If it is necessary to adjust the class time (for example, 30 minutes earlier/delayed), teachers can generally cooperate.


-Sometimes there will be unexpected friendships
Once I was the only student of a teacher, so my teacher treated me super super super, super well (hahaha) and also we became friends!


-Choose the teacher that suits you according to your needs. For example, there are two teachers A and B. Teacher A learns linguistics, and teacher B learns communication disorders.
If you are preparing for an exam and want to learn grammar with a serious teacher, then teacher A is the best choice. But if you are naturally shy and want to have a gentle teacher who will not make you feel pressured to guide you to practice speaking, teacher B is of course the first choice.

So I recommend everyone to try some new teachers, maybe there will be surprises🌟🌟 And I hope all the new students could find an appropriate teacher!
