Hi modernwisewoman. Thank you for your well wishesmodernwisewoman wrote:May I ask Le Mouse if your English Language qualification is applicable to schools as well? Have you considered privately teaching to help children through their GCSE's as well as foreign adults who need to improve their English skills?
Hope it all goes well.
No, my qualification only allows me to teach adults in the UK. If I were to go abroad, it would be recognised in language schools where there are often teenagers. However, I do know someone from my course worked at a UK summer school for Italian kids. If I wanted to teach children in a UK state school (or private school for that matter) I would have to do a PGCE.I have considered private tuition. It's a big step though. It's scary enough considering tutoring an adult, let alone a GCSE student! I would need a heck of a lot of preparation time, get hold of the current curriculum, find out what the current targets are, even before putting myself out there. It's a massive undertaking.
and it's not really prepping as such but I've been lookin into gun clubs, and I'm told that shooting is the second biggest sport in the UK by the seceratary, nothing like as expensive as I feared all these years and you can do it without ever going for a FAC using the clubs guns,, which means we can go and give it a try and have a decent social activity to share as a family and make some friends, alright there's a waitiing list but sounds so much fun and a sense of community, looks like I'll be thanking all you shooters on here, for getting us a foothold out of the house
