Next week is a special week where some types of classes are not held. So we offer extra timeslots for private lessons. It seems like quite a few students like the chance to take a once-off private lesson, so the week usually fills up pretty well.
Anyway, a lot of my private lessons next week are just free conversation. That's the best kind. It's so easy. One guy wants me to talk about Australia, and places I've visited. For another girl, I'll pretend to be a customer, so my student, a waitress, can practice taking orders and describing specials in English.
Best of all is a brand-new student who I only met today. He's a big guy with a shaved head, and a huge flaming skull shirt, who enthusiastically told me about his interest in motorcycles, KISS, and heavy metal music. Apparently he has a collection of around 30 guitars.
He wants to take a private lesson to talk about music. He'd like me to bring a few of my favourite songs (I'm gonna burn a CD) and he'll do the same, so we can listen to each other's music in the lesson. I don't think anyone communicated to him that I really don't like rock music, so it should be interesting...
Still, I'll find my cooler pop-rock songs and bring 'em in, see if I can find a few good Aussie rock songs... looking forward to that. He was so nice, I'm really looking forward to the lesson. Even if we have different tastes in music, I *love* talking about music. I've gotten a few students on my iPod recently. ^_^
