I've been going into my new place of work a couple of times a week for a couple of weeks and there has been a reason....
The Academy has been running a summer school for the past few years..it's been incredibly successful as lots of students have taken advantage of extra lessons to prepare for the September exams or, in the case of the few students who failed their ESO exams..a bit of extra cramming before the re-sits in September.
I'd been asked if I fancied doing a few classes and thought it would be excellent for me to do so - it will give me great insight into the lessons when I start properly.
Starting 4th August I'm working Mon-Thurs 9.30 till 11.
A half hour break and then 11.30-1.
I'll do that for 4 weeks, have 3 weeks off (all paid!) and then start properly September 22nd.
I'm really pleased as I've met all the students that I'll be teaching, got on great with them and they've all said they're looking forward to seeing me in August.
