How to Teach English at the Beginning Level
How to Teach Children and Adults who have not studied English Nursery Rhymes.
Find videos for the following nursery rhymes and teach them:
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
"Trot, Trot, Trot" (...go and never stop)
"Ten Little Indians"
"This Old Man"
"Sx Little Duckies"
"I'm A Little Teapot"
"Old MacDonald Had A Farm"
"There Were Ten In A Bed"
"The Ants Go Marching"
"Jack and Jill"
"There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly"
"The House That Jack Built"
"How Doth The Little Crocodile"
Then advance to short Stories like "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss
"The Cat In The Hat" by Dr. Seuss
"The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" by Dr. Seuss
"There's No Place Like Space" by Dr. Seuss
"Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss
These can all be taught in just about that sequence. The more difficult ones are listed after the simpler ones.
With some variation and improvisation, you should be able to introduce, eventually,
stories like "The Story of Jumping Mouse"

I personally believe that your strategy of tutoring is self-contradictory. You're trying to teach basic English to advanced learners whose English is already good enough to understand you.

Bruce speaks English only and is trying to teach his students who understand him without the help of their own native languages. These students, in my opinion, are not beginners at all. I have helped many people with their Chinese, and many of them ask me to speak English to help. But very few of them are beginners. They have studied Chinese for years.

@melaminefree, I agree with you. Even though I believe I am a good English teacher, I shy away from teaching absolute beginners. At that stage, they really need a translator with patience more than a teacher.
