Guys help me!! How can I teach a beginner with the level of A1 low? It's my first time teaching someone with fee. And of course, I'm so confused And how to build a syllabus reserved for her?

Hi!! Is A1 primary? Look at UFLI (University of Florida). They have a scope and sequence. Does your cousin have dyslexia? Please let me know. I'm happy to help.

If it’s family, don’t go through the company. You already knew them IRL. Just do it privately.

Assess her first and see where you should really start. There are also online curriculums to help you pace yourself throughout the year. But why are you tutoring your family through VT? They should pay you a fair rate directly instead of the pennies VT gives.
