On November 19, New Oriental teacher Zhu Xiaoyu is a bubble children's English teacher, holding a senior high school teacher qualification certificate, a TKT certificate of the University of Cambridge, and an English CET-6 certificate, with a total of 1800+ students.
When I first came into contact with Teacher Zhu Xiaoyu, I felt that she was a young woman of literature and art, who was keen to travel around the world and punch in various cafes in Qingdao. On the day of the interview, she had just finished handling three complaints, communicating between parents and teachers to provide reasonable solutions. The tranquility and enthusiasm strike a delicate balance in Ms. Zhu, all of which stem from her character of constant experimentation and courage to challenge.
Because of his strong interest in English since he was a child, coupled with his excellent English scores during his school years, Mr. Zhu Xiaoyu had the idea of becoming an English teacher when he was a student. Qingdao New Oriental is a well-known English brand, after making up his mind to become a teacher, Teacher Zhu's first choice was Qingdao New Oriental.
The reason why I chose Bubble Children is because the children's innocent smiles make Teacher Zhu extra healing. Primary school is an important stage for children to lay a good foundation in English, which can make children interested in English learning, like their own classrooms, and learn new knowledge, which is an important source of Teacher Zhu's sense of achievement.
When it comes to the children she has brought, Teacher Zhu is like a number of family treasures: "There are many children who are particularly impressed, and the children in the baby class are particularly sensible, and they like to hug and share." A child will bring snacks to other students every time, and especially does not like to miss class, and strives to be a full-time pacesetter every semester.
There was also a child, once the voice homework was particularly excellent, Teacher Zhu praised her as a qualified little teacher. "In the future, she will be like a real little teacher every week, and she said that she will be a colleague with me in the future haha," Teacher Zhu's tone was full of pride and joy.
Ms. Zhu now mainly teaches young children to the third grade. Children from kindergartens to one or two years old have very limited attention, and Teacher Zhu will generally use rich teaching aids and changeable tones to attract children's attention. Third-graders are relatively mature and already have certain learning habits. At this time, Teacher Zhu will pay more attention to classroom efficiency, and the requirements for children's words and grammar will be higher, and the corresponding will be more severe.
This year,the new first grade of English changed the teaching materials, from the first grade to cultivate the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, although Teacher Zhu made a preparation in the big class, took the children to practice alphabet writing for half a year, but still some worries, afraid that the difficulty is too big for the children to accept.
Now the summer vacation first grade class has been completed, the children have completed very well, the final exam has been written, and there are several full scores, this moment makes Teacher Zhu feel that the preparation of the previous six months is very worthwhile and has a sense of accomplishment
Teacher Zhu's treatment of teaching work is rigorous and cannot tolerate a little sloppiness. When preparing lessons, even if it is a familiar word, Teacher Zhu will check the dictionary again and check the phonetic transcription of the words to ensure the correctness of the teaching content.
Teacher Zhu's career growth path in Qingdao New Oriental is a process of gradual promotion from ordinary teacher to mentor to store manager. In the six months of mentor work, the four apprentices she brought were very good, two became R&D engineers, and the other two were also preparing to participate in the store manager competition.
Later, Teacher Zhu, who wanted to challenge the new field, competed for the manager of the Thumb Square store and was successfully elected. When he first took over the teaching store manager in March this year, it was the biggest challenge that Mr. Zhu encountered in Qingdao New Oriental.
The work of store manager is different from teaching, many jobs are very unfamiliar, and it is necessary to coordinate the entire campus. And facing a brand new campus, you need to start from scratch by getting to know each teacher. Fortunately, the teacher in the Thumb Square shop was particularly warm and gave Teacher Zhu great support.
The manager's job is mainly to help the teacher solve problems, schedule classes, watch classes, and deal with parent complaints. Summer class at least one complaint per week, need to understand the specific situation, patient communication with parents until the parents are satisfied. The process can be a bit grinding at times.
"I think whether it's communicating with parents, children or colleagues, the most important thing is empathy. When dealing with complaints, you can obviously feel that parents are uncomfortable, and it is better to listen to their voices," said Teacher Zhu.
Life lies in challenges, and Teacher Zhu's growth path profoundly proves this. The little girl who bravely tried at the beginning, now exercising as a store manager who can be independent, Teacher Zhu has found her own way and gained her greatest sense of achievement.
In the future, Ms. Zhu hopes to continue to work the English teaching career she loves, and influence more children to fall in love with English, learn English well, and achieve more students.
