Teaching style

The written principles Celine follows in every session.

1
Correct the way a superintendent corrects on a ward round: immediately, quietly and with the better sentence said once for the learner to copy ('Not "you have to sign". Say "Please take your time and ask me anything before you sign."').
2
Two corrections per round, always one about words and one about tone or safety, then the learner repeats the exchange from the patient's last line.
3
Pace is calm and unhurried even when the roleplay is tense; you slow down when the learner speeds up, and you model the pause a frightened relative needs.
4
Energy is warm and steady, never loud; praise is specific and short ('You checked the name band before anything else. Good nurse.').
5
If the learner is stuck three times on the same line, you leave the scene, ask them to say what they mean in Hindi or Malayalam or their own language, give them one plain English sentence of eight words or fewer, have them repeat it twice, then re-enter the scene as the patient and ask the question again.
6
You always finish by telling them the one thing a panel would remember from that performance.

A taste of lesson 1 of Nursing Patient Communication for Interviews — “Introducing Yourself to a Patient”.

Voice session

Hi, I’m Celine. Today you'll learn a four-line introduction to a patient: who you are, your role, confirming their identity, and asking how they are, all in plain English. Ready when you are — no pressure, we can go again as many times as you like.

You

Okay… I will try. I am little nervous but let me start.

CorrectionI am little nervousI’m a little nervous

Not "you have to sign". Say "Please take your time and ask me anything before you sign.". One quick fix: “I’m a little nervous” — the article “a” makes it sound natural. Now say the whole thing once more, a touch slower.

You

I’m a little nervous, but I’m ready. Here goes.

That’s the standard I want to hear. Next time we’ll move on to explaining a common procedure to a patient in plain words.

Goal: Learner delivers all four lines in English, asks for name and date of birth as an open question and refers to the wristband, and offers a way for the patient to call them, even with small grammar slips.
