From high school out of the teacher's license, and then before college began to intern this job, and finally to completely change careers as a dance teacher, and even have done a period of time agency, in fact, experienced a very long time, to the present a **** also almost 5 years.
I'm going to put together a good compilation of the potholes I've stepped in and the roads I've traveled, and maybe help some future or new teachers in the industry as well.
For most dances, having a teaching license is the equivalent of having a job, no matter how long or short.
But getting a teaching license doesn't mean you can teach. You need to find places to try more or less teaching experience first to help you familiarize yourself with the field. I'll point out a few important points here:
1. Find an organization that is far from home, not too big and not too good;
(You need a newbie village if you're just starting out; if it goes well, you may even be able to watch the organization grow, and if it doesn't it's not too big a problem.)
2. Don't look for an organization that carries teacher training, look for one that's close to the textbooks that you'll be using;< /p>
(Organizations with teacher training are basically there to make money, and you may even find that one day your students become teachers too. As for the textbooks, we all know that many associations' textbooks are actually i~very~weird.)
3. Don't look for an organization that even recruits students and requires teachers to do the front desk;
An organization that requires teachers to do the front desk and sales, his strength and ambition are not proportional. A job wearing many hats, but only one salary...
4. Ask the front desk and students more about their own teaching
Often times, as a dance teacher, enmm~ the average boss will describe them as simple minded and four-legged, and not very caring about their students' feelings. They don't ask the front desk or the students, and the front desk's first reaction to the students' feedback is also to tell the boss. If you wait until the boss starts to find you to talk, then you can pay attention to the point of lads hehehehehehe~ and then do not change beware of squid ......
"On how emotional intelligence is made" ......
5. Do not produce their own bull and the boss can not find the illusion of succession
As we all know, the dance teacher is a very suitable for part-time work, if the response is good that's good, but if you're very bull but the students can not learn, then you still dead end.
But I'm awesome! The boss can't find the next one to take over, or have to beg me for a job, and then I'm jumping out of the tank.
Wrong!
After having done the studio, my ideas took a hit from myself. Take Hot Dance Dance for example, they don't care if the teacher is strong or weak, they only care about their clients because you are the one who spends the money and the client is the one who spends the money, as for finding a teacher, an established studio won't be without a relationship, if not then it won't be able to open.
So at the end of the day, you'll realize that no one will go around you unless you have a unique highlight.
6. The end of the dance teacher is definitely not to open a dance studio
This point is actually very difficult to make clear.
What does a dance teacher know? Dancing, early childhood education, etc..
What does a boss know? Human resources, psychology, operations management, etc.
They exist.
They intersect, but they are actually two very different kinds of work.
I did most of the marketing and self-publishing at the time of my partner's studio, while my partner did accounting, operations management, etc., and even had a photographer to shoot the video, and then i, everyone forgot what they were doing in the first place, whether they were trying to make money or trying to dance.
What is the end of it, I think the answer is still love, heritage, and make money, this is the most simple end, ordinary and great.
7. Dance teacher what will point ....
This topic is too heavy...
PS, AU, PR, HB, JS, public number, etc., almost what is missing to make up for what, all self-taught.
8. Teaching assistants and small classes
The pit of the dance teacher, the most important two points.
Do not teach unless you give more money, small class attention and the organization to talk about money.
Many organizations will have a so-called trial period to measure your level and strength, but this is fart.
The money for an assistant teacher is basically half of what you would pay for a regular class, and many small organizations will ask for a month of those inexperienced budding assistants in order to save money.
Trust me, you'll be wrong by a billion...
In addition, on the small class should also pay attention to, many organizations will ask to draw half of the class fee, such as a class of 800, a small class to use the venue cost of 400, then you have to pay attention to talk about this venue fee, generally up to two hundred, after all, you use the agency's free time, if you do not agree that you do not lack of money do not recommend taking classes, not to say that the face of the pendulum, you make money by their own ability, how much to give Other people half, there is no such thing.
9. Don't trust anyone
The general is a stupid donkey to other people's heart and lungs, of course, "heart and lungs" is possible, provided that you are thick and black...
The organization's policy is to provide the best possible service to the public.
Don't get drunk at organization dinners, you know... I pretend to be drunk every time we get together, and I've been set up with a bunch of falsehoods...
10. Don't take a lot of time off, and be committed to your class and your students
No matter what your personality and strength is, this is fundamental to being a teacher. Love your profession and your students, teaching and learning, is what makes a teacher a teacher.
This is basically some of the experience of the teaching period, the next time to write into the occupation of the five years of some of the feelings.
