Teaching is a rewarding job that is both challenging and fun. Teachers have a great deal of responsibilities. Niko Lalangas offers pedagogy and andragogy to give new teachers the tools to make the very best of their teaching careers.
Classes benefit part-time and full-time teachers.
What is pedagogy?
• The art and science of teaching children.
What is andragogy?
• The art and science of teaching adults.
The most important aspect of being a private guitar teacher is to KEEP STUDENTS. Whether you work independently or work for a school it’s important to keep students for as long as possible. A high turnover in a student roster is an indication that a teacher isn’t doing a very good job.
Keeping students means success, which means making more money. For the students, it means they are getting their money’s worth while they learn and progress over time.
