Delighted to receive my second lovely review in 2 days, this time from Celia in Spain, who was writing on behalf of her sister in law Patricia (who doesn't use Facebook). Patri is a cracking student, very hard working and I'm sure she'll do really well when she finally does her exam next year :)

Delighted to receive this review from Olga, a student who has been with me since September 2020!! Think she is maybe over-estimating my Polish abilities though ;) And my humour too !!

Delighted to meet with Perla, who is visiting Edinburgh all the way from Mexico. I first met her in Oxford in 2010, where I taught her for many months, then again in 2011. More recently, I have been teaching her online, as well as her niece Jazmin. Great to see her in Edinburgh, and I look forward to tasting the tequila she brought me πππππ

Had a great night last night with Coralie Paolucci, a student from Lyon who I taught in 2014 in Oxford. She is here in Edinburgh for a wedding, it was really nice to meet her family and partner too. Shame about the weather though, where is the sun?

Well, I can't believe today is my 5 year anniversary as a self employed teacher.. When I began back in February 2018, things were pretty different in the world, I had just been made redundant from a big school in Edinburgh and with 2 young kids and a family to support, it was a risk to go on my own. But with 14 years teaching in language schools behind me, I had the experience and knowledge to give it a try, and I'm glad I did..
It's been an up and down 5 years, with some lovely students and I've met and taught some genuinely interesting people along the way. Covid was a big challenge for me, and I had to change to online teaching for around 2 years, which has helped me to adapt and teach students from all over the world, as well as the local Edinburgh population.
I'd love to keep writing, but I have a lesson to teach!!
SO the final thing I want to say is THANK YOU, particularly to my family who have been a brilliant support for me, and also all the amazing students I've taught and am still teaching over the last half a decade :)

A little postcard from Edinburgh this morning, from Holyrood Palace and the Royal mile, where her coffin will arrive later today.
I have no wish to make this a political posting, in my view the Queen was a good lady who did the best for her country for more than 70 years.
I would be interested in hearing what my students and followers think about the Queen and our Royal family.

Wow, today maybe the hottest ever day in Edinburgh, it's currently 31c and I think I may melt... It is hotter than Nairobi, Sydney, Miami, Budapest and Tokyo, though Madrid, Doha, Tehran and Kuwait are still hotter than us..
How is the weather where you are, and what's the hottest/coldest you ever remember? Can you study (English ) in these extreme temperatures?
