I am having so much fun! The 10 year old is great - he's bright, he's engaged, he keeps trying to lead me off track or convince me to ditch the boring, horrible English and go back to the fun maths, but he does it in such an amusing way that we're both still enthusiastic at the end of 2 hours... I luf him! He'd never been taught how to divide, ffs, and he picked it up in, like, five minutes. And he could still do it an hour later after a bunch of English exercises in between. He's smarter than my year 10! his writing's terrible, but he listens when I correct him. Plus his mum paid me extra for travel - this job might become my favourite!!
This evening I have to teach GCSE English to a panicky 16 year old whose exam is next week. I am enthused! I've condensed poetry interpretation into one A4 page of notes, and I kinda want to study English again myself. I AM GETTING SO INTO THIS TUTORING THING!!
