伊理教育 YiliEdTech

【前言】我一直很感激家教這份工作。它讓我在完成大學學業的同時能夠自給自足，更重要的是，它給了我大量實戰經驗，讓我學會如何與不同的人溝通應對。隨著我的事業重心慢慢從第一線教學轉向「課程設計」與「數位教育」，我想整理幾點心得，分享給正要進入這個市場的學弟妹們。

【1. 先專注在一到兩個科目】剛入行時，大家常為了多接案子而什麼科目都教。前期這樣做可以理解，但若想做得長久，你必須學會「專注」。一個專精於英文教學的老師，在 brand 價值上通常高過一個什麼都教的「全才」。當你長期深耕少數科目，你會發展出獨到的教學心得，那就是你的專業所在。

【2. 這是一份關於「人」的工作】請時刻提醒自己：你面對的通常是未成年人。你的一言一行，包括你的偏見或習慣，都會潛移默化地影響學生。我們不一定能要求每個人都溫柔，但至少，教學的初衷不能帶有惡意。

【3. 專業不在於職稱，而在於「無可替代」】如果你有教育背景當然很好，但如果你是跨領域的新手，我建議你在每堂課前後都寫下「教學反思」。比對一下：你預想的流程跟實際發生的落差在哪？是講得太亂？問題問得不好？還是學生的進度超前了？這些落差就是你進步的空間。犯錯不可怕，重點是要有意識地修正，這種「自我優化的能力」才是真正的專業。

【4. 學歷不夠亮眼，可以當家教嗎？】坦白說，台灣市場確實看重學歷。如果你的學歷不夠亮眼，就必須從其他地方補足。你可以去補習班當助教累積控場經驗，或是在大學修課學習理論，甚至參加偏鄉服務。當你擁有了這些「實戰故事」，你的議價能力自然會提升。記住第三條：專業是無可替代。

【5. 考試主義與教育熱忱，真的衝突嗎？】很多老師抱怨為了應付考試，沒辦法教自己想教的東西。但我認為這是個「假議題」。幫助學生拿高分與融入教學理念是可以並行的。在伊理國文的課本封底寫著四個大字：堅毅、好奇、溫柔、理性。我們在教寫作技巧時，會把籃球員的故事或生命經驗連結進來。我們不僅教學生如何應考，更在文字中灌注了對生命的思考。

【6. 關於備課：如何拉近學生與目標的距離？】關於教學法，書本上有很多理論，我在此分享我的三個思考原則：（1）具體化需求：學生到底卡在哪？是一個方程式的運用，還是某種文法的規則？（2）找出差距（Gap）：他現在的狀態與目標之間缺了什麼？是知識不足？技能不熟？還是單純缺乏練習的環境？（3）設計活動：有哪些教學方法或文本，可以輕鬆地填補這些差距，且不讓學生感到過重的壓力？

我建議在累積 100 小時的經驗前，都試著用筆紙寫下這些思考。即使我現在已經是一位成熟的設計師，在設計大型教材時，依然會遵循這個邏輯，確保每個教學環節都是精準的。

【結語】教學是一場與學生的共同冒險。如果你也對「設計教學」有興趣，甚至希望能省去繁瑣的備課時間，全心投入教學現場，歡迎聯絡「伊理教育」。我們可以為你量身打造教材與教案，讓我們一起在教育路上走得更聰明、更專業。我會在之後的文章繼續更新家教心法，也誠摯地邀請大家與我們合作，因為再好的教材，都比不上一位優秀的老師對學生的實際影響，唯有在現場的你，才能賦予教材靈魂。

Advice for Novice Tutors: From Frontline Teaching to Designing the Soul of Learning

[Prologue] I have always been grateful for tutoring. It allowed me to be self-sufficient while finishing my university studies and, more importantly, gave me extensive practical experience in communicating with diverse individuals. As my career focus shifts from frontline teaching to curriculum design and digital education, I want to share some insights for those just entering this market.

[1. Focus on One or Two Subjects First] In the beginning, many tutors take on any subject just to get cases. While understandable initially, long-term success requires focus. A specialist in English teaching usually holds higher brand value than a generalist. Deepening your expertise in a few subjects allows you to develop unique pedagogical insights.

[2. This is a "People" Business] Always remind yourself: you are usually dealing with minors. Your words and actions, including your biases or habits, subtly influence your students. We cannot demand everyone to be gentle, but at the very least, the intention of teaching must never be malicious.

[3. Professionalism is Irreplaceability, Not Titles] An education background is great, but if you are a newcomer from another field, I suggest writing "teaching reflections" before and after every class. Compare the gap between your planned flow and what actually happened. Was the explanation messy? Were the questions poorly phrased? Or did the student progress faster than expected? These gaps are your room for growth. Making mistakes isn't scary; the key is conscious correction. This "self-optimization ability" is true professionalism.

[4. Can I Tutor if My Academic Credentials Aren't Shining?] To be honest, the Taiwanese market values academic credentials. If yours aren't stellar, you must compensate elsewhere. Assist at cram schools to gain classroom management experience, take theoretical courses at university, or participate in rural service. Once you have these "battle stories," your bargaining power naturally increases. Remember point 3: Professionalism is irreplaceability.

[5. Do Exam-Orientation and Educational Passion Conflict?] Many teachers complain they can't teach what they want because of exams. I believe this is a false dilemma. Helping students score high and integrating educational philosophies can coexist. On the back cover of Yili Chinese textbooks, four words are written: Fortitude, Curiosity, Gentleness, and Rationality. We weave life experiences into writing skills. We don't just teach students how to take exams; we infuse reflections on life into their words.

[6. Lesson Planning: Closing the Gap Between Student and Goal] While textbooks offer many theories, I share my three principles of thinking: (1) Concrete Needs: Where exactly is the student stuck? Is it an equation or a grammar rule? (2) Identifying the Gap: What is missing between their current state and the goal? Knowledge? Skill? Or just a practice environment? (3) Activity Design: Which teaching methods or texts can easily fill these gaps without overwhelming the student?

I recommend writing down these thoughts on paper before accumulating 100 hours of experience. Even as a mature designer now, I still follow this logic when designing large-scale materials to ensure every link is precise.

[Epilogue] Teaching is a shared adventure with the student. If you are interested in "learning design" and want to focus on teaching rather than tedious prep, feel free to focus on contacting "Yili Education." We can tailor materials and lesson plans for you. Let’s walk the path of education more intelligently and professionally together. I will continue to update tutoring strategies in future posts. I sincerely invite everyone to collaborate with us, because no matter how good the materials are, they cannot compare to the actual impact of an excellent teacher. Only you, at the frontline, can give soul to the materials.
