So, on Thursday was my first day as a transmitter of knowledge. Of course I was a bit nervous before I entered the classroom but as I'd prepared my first lesson well it went okay. The only thing is that it's really exhausting, at least if you're not used to it: I've got four hours a day after all, with eight students with different needs and preferences and then there's all that homework to grade and preparation time... leaves me hardly any free time at all at the moment so it's really a luxury for me to blog right now... but it's a really great experience and I'm glad that it all worked out like that!!

yeah i know and i actually find that a bit shocking.
i mean, in austria it's perfectly normal that you can walk into any school as a stranger and put up adverts for private tuition, schools with guarded gates are extremely rare or nonexistent, you can take photos of your students etc... and there doesn't seem to be any problem with it!
is crime against juveniles such a serious problem in britain or are they just being paranoid?
but thanks for the warning. i will be wary!

hey milou!
natuurlijk zou ik je graag engels leren hoewel ik denk dat het op internet een beetje moeilijk kun zijn. ik kan je natuurlijk een paar oefeningen in IM sturen en deze dan corrigeren. help je me dan ook een beetje met mijn nederlands? :-)

Naturally will I yourself eager angels learn although I think that it on internet a little bit with difficulty can be. I can you naturally a few exercises in IM steer and these then correct. help you me then also a little bit with my dutch?
