Welcome to this month’s round up!
I can now share exciting news with you: from September, I am available for visits and support for an extra day each week! You can now book my time on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. This means I can potentially travel further too… I will still be teaching on Mondays and Tuesdays. You can check my availability here at any time.
Have you used a blindfold/eye mask in your languages lessons before? If not, I think you will want to after listening to my latest podcast here! I find it to be an essential accessory in my classroom.
I know some of you have finished school already; I for one am working until this Thursday 18th July. Whether your break has started or it will start soon… I wish you an amazing summer!
I will be back in touch mid-August with lots of ideas for going back to school… but let’s maybe not think about that quite yet!
