One of my students asked me if it's ok for me to tell me that he's so nervous because he'll meet his girlfriend's father after 5 years of their relationship.After he told me details I was nervous more thank him
I had a student , he was 33 years old after 5 sessions , he proposed to me that was a funniest thing that happened to me.
It makes me feel international as I connect with people around the globe; this helps to widen my circle of friends. It also helps me to discover new ways of doing the same thing I have already been doing.
I had one student that was always on her phone during the lesson

okay, it's not a joke it's real, my 1st student ever kept taking classes for almost a month not because she wanted to learn, but because she wanted to take a break from her husband and spend some time away from him.
I have experience teaching a number of teenage students who are not interested in taking the lesson. They enter the lesson room and will not even utter a word nor respond to anything I say. They rather spend all the time or almost all the time playing video games in the background, and all my attempt to encourage them to give some attention to the lesson is not heeded. It can be quite frustrating but I always try to maintain a smiling demeanor and leave notes that they can study at least. I always do my best to maintain a professional outlook and do my best for the student under the circumstance but I really feel sorry for the student's parents because I doubt they are aware of such conduct.
Been teaching a boy which was on a hot hair ballon!
I was teaching a kid who was on holiday with her family, and she was trying to repeat a phrase I'd given her while her mother lathered her face with sunscreen.
