The teacher won't stop speaking in English, doesn't pick up on social cues or direct requests from the student, and offers advanced corrections too soon, which is not good pedagogy. I had to stop the lesson after ten minutes because she wouldn't stop talking (in English rather than the target question) or moderating her use of the target language (by repeating, speaking slower, or using chat).
