I have tried 5 different teachers on italki now:
Teacher 1: I really did feel like I was boring the teacher to tears, which was not so good.
Teacher 2: I didn't feel much of a connection with them personally.
Teacher 3: I liked this teacher a lot but internet connection is not great and speaks really fast. Also asks a lot of questions, I find this hard to deal with.
Teacher 4: Nice to talk to, I got on well with, seemed relaxed and I enjoyed the lesson, still some questions but less of an interrogation, more relaxed than 3.
Teacher 5: We used a worksheet and as Andymeg mentioned last week this took the pressure off me to think of answers because the answers were obvious (even if I didn't know how to answer them in Spanish ) and so the lesson felt a lot less intense and demanding. Although the teacher did not stop for 1 second, it was quite an intense lesson.
Now to just work out which of the three teachers (3, 4 & 5) that I liked to use on a regular basis and how many lessons to have each week. I was hoping that it would be obviuos once I'd taken all the lessons but it appears not.
My thoughts.....
I am thinking I can easily find time to take 2 lessons a week but should I use the same tutor all the time or a mix?
Also teacher 3 may be more suitable once I get more confident with my speaking?
Teacher 5 seems like a good main tutor, maybe I could supplement this with teacher 4 who I really enjoy talking with?
Maybe just 1 hour is enough at the moment? Or is it better to speak as much as possible?
