Before you start tutor prep
開始前 · 給老師的兩分鐘準備
Open this page and turn on your camera and microphone before the student joins.學生上線前,先打開這一頁,並開好你的鏡頭與麥克風。
Have a movie or TV show of your own ready to share — a favorite, plus something you watched recently.準備一部你自己的電影或影集可以分享——一部最愛,再加上最近看過的一部。
Keep a pen and paper (or a notes window) handy to jot down new words your student wants.手邊備好紙筆(或開個筆記視窗),記下學生想學的新單字。

Tap the 🔊 button next to any phrase to play clear English audio for your student.點任何句子旁邊的 🔊 按鈕,就能播放清楚的英文發音給學生聽。
Mindset: Your job is to help the student speak, not to speak perfectly yourself. Smile, slow down, and let silences breathe — give them time to find the words before you jump in.
心法:你的任務是幫學生開口說,而不是自己說得多完美。微笑、放慢、讓沉默有空間——在你接話前,給他時間找到要說的字。
1 · Warm-up 5 min
暖身 · 輕鬆開場
Start light and friendly. Let the student warm up their English with easy, familiar questions.
輕鬆、友善地開始。用簡單又熟悉的問題,讓學生暖暖身、進入英文狀態。
Do you like movies or TV shows more?你比較喜歡電影還是電視影集?

小提醒:學生只回一個字時,溫和地問「為什麼?」或「再多說一點」。這裡你自己的回答盡量簡短,讓學生有最多的說話時間。
