Lesson learned
I've been working all this week at the college doing summer school and it's been wonderful! This last teaching year I had just the one class that I saw once a week for two hours and I realised too late of course that it was the class that none of the other tutors wanted to do. I'm sure I've blogged about it over the last few months as it was at times a real pain!
Teaching summer school has re-awakened my interest in teaching as I have been given two groups of motivated students with a good sense of fun as well as an interest in learning. I have found myself genuinely looking forward to getting into the classroom each morning again.
I'm also really pleased because it would appear that all my struggles in the first year with the college has paid off and I have been offered some decent classes in the main college buislding this coming teaching year! I'm going to be teaching an Advanced group and a Proficiency class too. I'm very happy with this as I am likely to have motivated people once again.
I love teaching and I am so glad that it 'found' me when it did as it helped me very much to be the person I am today. I certainly hope to continue with it as a part time career at least.

You have so much to give. Your students are fortunate to have you to inspire and help them with their path or goals. Someone like you will and have been making such a difference in so many lives around you whether you realize it or not. Knowing you here has made a difference in mine.
