Teachers must request or inform the company no later than 4 hours prior to the start of the class.
The leave request must be approved by the Talkbee. Failure to do so will result in a penalty or
pay deduction of employee’s hourly rate for each missed scheduled hour. There is no payment for
missed classed.

Provision of a medical certificate as proof of illness may prevent the enactment of deduction that

avoid the deduction and receive their normal salary. The Right of Pardon may not be used when facing
consequences for unexcused absences or for time off in excess of the allotted 5 days per half-year.

If the circumstance is serious, the Company has the right to terminate the contract with the teacher.

Chatting and eating during class sessions will be deemed to be serious disciplinary violations. Only drinking
water is allowed.

4.8 Don’ts You Should Know before Taking a Class

1) Don’t speak Chinese in Class. If you speak or use Chinese, students will depend on it.

2) Don’t be late for class. You should be in class 10 minutes before class starts.

3) Don’t end class early

4) Don’t teach without preparation for class.

5) Don’t teach where internet is unstable.

6) Don’t change your availability once provided us.

We schedule your class according to your availability provided before hand. Try not to change it ,as we
may have already arranged classes and introduced you to students and parents. Tell us when you are
100% sure you can teach even if it means you don’t have enough classes at first. It is far better to add
classes along the way than to cancel promised classes.
7) You may not apply for leave later than 4 hours before class
On such short notice it may be difficult or impossible to find teachers to cover your class. Try not to
apply for leave unless you really need it—if you ask for leave on a regular basis, the parents will feel

9 / 28
 like their child’s education isn’t reliable.
Remember, you are teaching a fixed class with fixed students, so your classes are your responsibility.
You need to be there for the kids

8) You may not resign within 3 months of the start of your contract. You are working for a famous English-
language institution that has an 18-year history of educational excellence. To learn more about us, you
can check our website, https://teacher.learningbee.net/#/recruit. Building a stable and committed
teaching team is our top priority; we will not accept sloppy work or irresponsibility.

5. 28 Q&A Leads to Excellency once You Know

1) What if one or more student(s) are too noisy?

- Use the Mute button when you enter the classroom. This can be applied as you see fit. Muting
students should not be the first course of action. If a child is muted, they cannot participate, so use
the mute function wisely.You can also choose to use this as a learning opportunity and explain how
we respect and listen to others in class. You may choose to have all students on mute until you
want them to speak.

2) What if the student’s English name is not shown on the software?

- Ask students their name. If you can not understand what they are saying, have them write it out
with their pen tool. Take notes during class. If the student’s profile does not have their English
name on it, you may forget it. So, write it down for next time. The parents are continually asked to
change the name to English, but we cannot control this from our side. Talk to the students and
parents about updating their profile names. Telling the admins about every student that doesn’t
have an English name creates a backlog of communication and prevents us from focusing on
problems that we are more able to solve.

3) What if the students are speaking Chinese?

Try to encourage English as much as possible. This is not an issue to get upset with the student over.
They may be doing the best that they can. Perhaps the material or topic is too advanced for them.
Try and start each class with some simple English conversation to get the students feeling

10 / 28
 comfortable and confident in speaking English with you. If this continues to be a problem and you feel
it is an issue of stubbornness or laziness rather than confidence, it is okay to raise the point in the
comments after class. Frame the comment politely and write it from a place of understanding, not
judgment. Ex. “Student seems shy or hesitant to speak English in class. I hope that as lessons
continue, Student will feel more comfortable and confident to speak up in class and to speak in
English”

4) What if the student’s family member is always answering questions next to him/her?

- Some students may be too shy to speak without parental guidance in the first class or two. This
however can become a crutch for the student. If this continues, you can address it politely in class.
Ex.

- (Teacher) What do you like to eat?

- (Parent) Apples! I like Apples!

- (Student mimicking their parent) Apples! I like Apples!

- (Teacher) Great! So, Mom likes Apples. I like Pizza. What about YOU? (point to camera) What do
YOU like to eat? (and perhaps give other examples of foods)

5) What if the students are not disciplined and are misbehaving?

Some students can be a handful, and it is difficult to manage a classroom from the other side
of a screen. If rewards for others good behavior is not an incentive, and if the use of mute and
moving videos of students around to focus on who you are talking to, are not effective and the
student is still a distraction for others, you can message admin, who can contact the parents
(maybe a parent can come check on their child and help manage them) or leave it in the
comment after class if the student is not too severe in their actions (ex. Student is excited and
energetic in class. I would like to see a little more focus on the lesson and less …. Whatever
they are doing). If the action is Severe, student is being obscene or vulgar, you can
“downstage” the student for the benefit and protection of others in the class. Inform admin
immediately.

6) What if the students don't answer the question?

11 / 28
The student may not answer the question if perhaps they do not understand what you are saying
- or lack the confidence to answer. In this case, try to reframe the question and suggest possible
answers. Be aware of dead air, do not let the silence of a question unanswered linger too long. It
can embarrass the student and make them feel worse about their situation. It can embarrass the
student and make them feel worse about their situation.

- Ex. (Teacher) What is your favorite color?

- (student) …

- (Teacher) what color do you like?

- (Student) ….

- (Teacher) Do you like red? Blue? Yellow? … I like (colors on blackboard) purple! Do you like purple?
What color do you like? … etc.

- If this isn’t working, move on to the next student and come back to the non-answering student later.
And maybe come back to the non-answering student later. Perhaps seeing other’s examples will
create the context and time needed to develop their own answer.

7) What if the students answers are wrong?

- That’s ok! Encourage what you can about the answer they gave, and then maybe re ask the
question. Maybe they did not understand the question.

- Ex. (Teacher) What is an example of a healthy food?

- (Student) Ice cream!

- (Teacher) OH! WOW! I like ice cream too! But is ice cream Healthy? Is ice cream good for you? An
Apple is healthy. A carrot is healthy. Is Ice Cream Healthy?

8) What if the students suddenly drop off?

- If a student suddenly disappears, that’s ok. They are having a connection issue. Continue with the
class with the rest of the students present and welcome them back when/if they return. These
things happen.

9) What if students leave their seats?

12 / 28
 - If a student leaves their seat, it may be for a valid reason. Maybe thy have gone to use the
washroom or get a drink of water but did not know how to communicate that to you. Continue with
the lesson. If this is your only student in class and they leave for an extended time with no
explanation, contact admin to determine where the child has wandered off to.

10) How do I keep the students interested and attentive?

Be engaging! Use rewards! Make the blackboard as interesting, colorful, and eye catching as
possible. You can enlarge the picture of a student who is not paying attention to fill the full
screen—that will get their attention.

11) How do I deal with being nervous?

This should be a fun job. You AND the students should enjoy the whole process. Take a deep breath
and relax. The students are great and mostly very well behaved. You just need to jump in there and get
comfortable with it. Get silly. Shake it off. No need for nerves. The kids want to like you. You are going
into a receptive audience.

12) How should I prepare my lessons?

As soon as a class has been scheduled onto your calendar you can prepare. You can enter the
classroom and pull up the lesson for that specific class. Take the time to flip through the material.
Notice how many slides there are. Take note of what you might want to expand on or what follow-up
questions or tangents you can take. Take some notes of what you might want to do, or you can save
the edb. File for that class with the pictures and examples that you may want to reference in that class.

13) How should I comment on the students？

All comments should be positive. Even if you are communicating about a difficult child, it should be
framed with encouragement and kindness. Reference what they did well, note their mistakes and
areas that need improvement, and a final ‘excellent job today’! If you are still unsure how to leave a
proper comment, please contact management and we will send you a document on how to construct
comments.

13 / 28
14) What do I do if students are late？

No worries. If nobody is in the class, just wait for a while. The admins know that the student is not
there. They may be running late—that’s okay. If there are other students in the class, just teach
normally and welcome the late student when or if they show up.

15) How do you recommend the standard class process?

Class should be divided into three sections. Introduction; lesson; and review/conclusion. The
introduction can be anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Talk about your day, your favorite food, or favorite
sport. Try to have a question of the day that each student can answer or share. You can also do show-
and-tell. This is a time for students to get comfortable with you and their classmates and for you to set
a positive and fun tone for the class. To set the positive and fun tone for the class. After the
introduction, transition into the body of the lesson and teach the material as you have prepared it.
Expand upon the material and give examples to the kids to reinforce what you’re teaching. If there is
time, play a game with the material covered. Hangman or Pictionary with vocab. Try charades, try
using new phrases and words in sentences. Pull up related pictures from google and get students to
talk about them. As the lesson ends, review difficult areas and say goodbye to the students.

16) How to teach the reading part if it’s too long？

Break it up. Highlight different sections for different students to read. Use the laser pointer to get the
students to read individual words in unison. Take breaks. Go over unfamiliar words and provide context
for their use. Most importantly, make it fun and engaging. Think about why you are there as they read. If
a child is just reading words without context or explanation, they can do that at home without you. What
can YOU bring to the experience to further their learning and make this time beneficial for them as a
developing English reader?

17) What if the lesson material is not completed by the time class ends?

That is ok! If you did not complete all material, because the students needed to go over something more
difficult a few more times until it sunk in, there was a late start to class due to student tardiness, or there
was good on-topic conversation happening, that is ok. However, if you think the lesson is running
behind schedule, you should make sure to prioritize the lesson material over off-topic conversation
or games.

18) How to use video and music and pictures in a reasonable way?

You should try to make your lessons as visually engaging as possible—however, videos and songs
can easily become a crutch for any teacher if they’re used too often. Such things can be used as a
reward after the class has finished (hit play on a video that the students can optionally choose to
stay for and then exit out and head to your next class) or If you are planning to use a video or song
in class, make sure it relates to the content and try to limit it to 1-3 minutes of the total lesson.

14 / 28
19) What should I do when I’m asking a single student a direct question?

In a group class, pull down the student’s video from the top stage to the blackboard when you are
asking them a direct question. Other students will know it is not their turn to answer and the student
you ARE asking will know it is their turn to speak.

20) What interesting classroom games can be recommended?

Games that relate to the material to reinforce learning are great! Be careful of dead air as each
student takes a turn in a game. Always have you or students talking. Hangman, pictionary, and
charades (for example) are versatile and easy-to-learn games. Write down 1-6 categories along the
side and roll the dice as to which topic the student must do. Ex. (healthy food, non-healthy food,
healthy drink, non-healthy drink, healthy activity non-healthy activity, OR what do you like to do in
Fall, summer, spring, winter, your favorite month, your favorite holiday, etc.) The Teachers Only
WeChat group is a wealth of creative resources. Feel free to suggest any games you find helpful or
to ask for help if you need ideas.

21) How do I explain an unfamiliar word?

Use it in a sentence, think of synonyms, think of antonyms, draw pictures of it, or pull in pictures
from the internet.

22) How should I organize role dialogue role- plays?

For role playing readings, pull down the student you want to use and place each student on each side
of the dialog. Color below or around each student according to what dialog color you want them to
read for. Use the laser pointer to guide them along.

23) I still have more questions/I still don’t understand something! Who should I ask?

If it is during class and it is a question that directly relates to the class you are in, ask your question in

15 / 28
 the Admin group and someone can assist you.

If it is about a request for leave, change of schedule or notice of illness, email

teacher_hr@learningbee.net .If it requires immediate attention, ALSO message Randi on WeChat.

If your question is about anything else, message Randi and she can help you problem solve, answer
your question, or if she doesn’t know, she will ask someone who does and will get back to you ASAP.

24) IWho do I ask for help if I or my students are experiencing technical issues?

If you want to give feedback on either the students' or the teacher's tech problem, all you need to do is
click the bell-shaped button to request help. It will show up immediately on our platform and the on-
duty service team will be informed. They are efficient and will help you with any problems you may
experience.

25) I can’t open the PPT, what should I do?

26) You can click the reload button, try to refresh it or exit and re-enter and see if the PPT is there.

27) If this still doesn’t work, you can tell the service team to ask for immediate support.

26) What happens if you have connectivity issues, delays, hardware, or software issues during a lesson?

There may be times when any of the above can happen or things occur like a power outage or a
random computer shutdown. If this happens you should notify the admins right away so they can
use their best discretion to help fix the situation right away. If you are in a lesson and experience
16 / 28
 delays, lag , or anything abnormal please share it with the admins . Sometimes your video feed of
yourself may freeze. You can try closing the video cam and turning it back on to refresh. Do the
same thing to fix microphone issues if your students suddenly cannot hear you Exiting and re-
starting the Classin program will fix many issues. It is best to always log into the program so admins
can check your hardware and connectivity at least 10 minutes prior to any lesson so If there is
anything that shows a problem can be addressed prior and fixed immediately before class begins.
No matter the issue—big or small—it is always best to immediately contact admins so everybody is
on the same page about the issue and so they can help guide you to make sure everything is
running smoothly.

27) When I press the start recording button, I am always kicked out from ClassIn.

If you are randomly kicked out of a lesson or are kicked out upon startup, it may be a software
issue in the Classin program. Any firmware update can cause an issue, so be sure that your
Classin settings are calibrated correctly.

28) In the middle of a class, one of my students suddenly loses audio or can’t hear me or one of my
students exits and does not return. Who can I call for help? Who can I turn to help? Ring the bell at the
top and write down the problem. The admin on duty will come to help you

immediately.

6. Use The Bell To Ask For Help

17 / 28
1.The teachers should use the bell under these situations.

(1) If a student is absent when class starts.

[If some student or students did not show for class but there is at least 1 student in class, it is not
necessary to ring the bell. Our staff will contact the parents.]

(2) If there are echoes, loud voices, noisy background (such as family members talking, parents’ helping in
Chinese, watching TV, etc.) affecting the normal process of your class, you can mute this student
immediately continue giving class, but immediately ring the bell for help so that parents can be informed of
the situation and reason for muting a student. If it happens more than once you can add it in the comments
to help make parents aware of it.

(3) The students start to cry or get emotional during the class.

(4) The students reflects bad behavior or an inability to follow the teachers instructions during class {(keep
leaving and entering the classroom, walking around, lying in bed, eating food, shouting, not paying
attention to the lesson, playing with things which are not related to the class, chatting with other kids and
typing in the chat box, etc.), you can then ring the bell. * Any of the above is okay if the student is still
contributing in class and he/she is enjoying class – the last thing a teacher wants is to make a class
stressful or make an already good and happy student unhappy. But really use your own discretion because
a student should still remember you are their teacher and they should treat you with respect.

(5) The students show that he/she can't catch up with what the teachers’ teaching.

2. Whenever the teachers ring the bell for help, he/she needs to write down or click the name of the student
with his problem and description.

7. How to Use “Mute”

18 / 28
Using the mute function: Please “mute all” after entering the classroom, unless you are talking to a student.
Also remember to mute other students while a student is answering a question.
*Use your own discretion in the last point because sometimes you would want the added pressure of other
students that can answer quickly, it pushes students to think faster too in certain situations.

8. Chat Box
Please click the “Silence all” when you come into the classroom.

*Also, here you as the teacher must use your own discursion and learn which classes and/or students are
unfocused and needs to be muted as some classes/students add extra answers in the chat window on their
own while muted and this helps these “strong” students to stay encaged and not get bored in class. This
can be rewarded.
19 / 28
9. Key Phrases / Words for Student to Know

1.Excuse me – If the student needs to interrupt the lesson to speak. Example: “Excuse me, I need to go
use the washroom.” “Excuses me, I don’t understand.” “Excuse me, can you say it again？”

2. Please – When asking for something， it is polite to say please at the beginning or end of the sentence.

3. Thank you – To say when you are grateful or appreciative for something someone has said or done.

Can we do it again? – I enjoyed what we just did and would like to do it again please.

8. Important to Understand If the Teacher Says

1.Not now. Maybe later. – A student may want to do an activity additionally or again, but the teacher needs
to keep the class on time and moving to get through all material and may need to say no. if there is time
later maybe we can get back to it.

20 / 28

8.Please be polite. – At all times please be respectful and polite to the teacher and to fellow students. This
is a safe and happy learning place where we are nice to one another. Not being nice and polite in not ok.

9.After Class Feedback

1.Listening: /10 Speaking: /10 Reading: /10 Spelling（optional）: /10

2.S was good/excellent at _____. （List anything they did well at: listening and repeating, reading phonics,
a specific grammar point, free speaking etc.）

3. S found L、S、R、S difficult. S should practice ____ more at home. （You can also say how you helped
them improve on this in class.）

4. Mention behavioral issues (optional): Describe what happened. Don’t inject personal opinions.

Remember to keep your wording simple, as it will be sometimes translated into Chinese. Try putting your
words in a translation app, translating them to Chinese, and then translating that back to English. This
gives a much better idea of how it comes across in Chinese.

21 / 28
Many teachers use a standard text that they have written out and simply change the lesson content, child’s
name and their comments about ability and performance.

However, it is important to make your feedback individual to each child and to mention their specific
strengths and characteristics, so don’t rely too much on standardised feedback.

Example：

1.Listening: 8 /10 Speaking: 6 /10 Reading: 8 /10 Spelling（optional）: 10/10

2. able to spell all the target words, and her listening has improved greatly since last class. She could
understand today’s warm-up question

3. Nina found speaking difficult. She should practice speaking more at home and she needs to pay
more attention to correct pronunciation.

4. Nina found it a little hard to focus on the lesson as she was writing on the screen a lot. This is great
writing practice, but it would be best if she does it before class so we can focus on speaking in class.
