Could you please take a few minutes to fill out the answers on this form (https://form.jotform.com/81008270135143) (VPN recommended)? This will cover some basic information so that we can decide whether or not to move forward with your application.

Format for email to set up in-person interview and mock teaching:

NAME,

We would like to move your application forward. The next step of the application process has two parts: A) a couple "mock teachings" (which should last for 15 minutes each), B) and an in-person interview. In total, the mock teaching and the interview should take about an hour of time.

Would you be available to visit our office for about one hour during one of the following times?

• Time 1
• Time 2
• Time 3

I'm attaching a PDF of a demo session for our Public Speaking class. You should aim to teach students that are 14 years old and with intermediate English ability (i.e. will not know some academic words).

I'm attaching two PDFs for session 2 of our Ivy Climber Program. I'd like you to aim to be teaching students who are about 10 years old with intermediate English ability (i.e. can communicate about some daily topics, but won’t know most of the more academic vocabulary in the session plan).

I'm attaching a PDF of a session plan for the 2nd session of our "Persuasive Essay" class, which is our second level Reading & Writing class. Please aim to teach students that are about 14 years old with intermediate English ability (i.e. won’t know some academic vocabulary words in the session plan).

I'd like to get an idea of your current ability to work with interview students. Please watch this mock interview (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTg3MDE4MDcxNg==.html, Password: ShangLearning2412) and provide your own qualitative feedback. In addition, please give suggestions on what the student can do to improve.
