Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tools for Online Tutors
Q: Who is HiClass best suited for right now?
The platform is especially advantageous for individual tutors who want automation of admin tasks; it's also helpful for small agencies with multiple students by centralizing management.
Tools for Online Tutors
Q: What exactly can HiClass do for a tutor with a small group or a few teachers?
HiClass automates the boring admin tasks, provides AI-generated reports for parents and teachers, creates homework and quizzes, and offers an AI tutor for between-session practice, all in one place to save time for teaching.
Tools for Online Tutors
Q: Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what led you to HiClass?
Yan explains her decade of experience as an online tutor, her founding of Fun Class to engage younger learners, and how HiClass emerged to save teachers time by automating admin tasks like reports, homework, and grading.
Knowing English and Owning it!
Q: Why do fluent speakers still feel not good enough, and how can they start overcoming that?
Many learners are conditioned by traditional schooling to chase perfect grammar, but ownership comes from creating space to be themselves, using familiar contexts, and gradually embracing imperfect communication as a path to greater fluency.
Knowing English and Owning it!
Q: What does it mean for a student to own English in the classroom or online?
Ownership means expressing oneself confidently, flowing with idioms, and using language as a personal extension of identity rather than as a graded performance; it involves reducing fear of mistakes and focusing on being understood while bringing one's own experiences into the conversation.
