First office teaching

Spent most of the day before preparing but it was worth it, a car came to pick me up from the school and drive me the half hour over to the next town where the company is. It is a pretty big company, around 200 employees, making stickers and paper bags, including for vogue! 

Recently they got an order to produce materials for the Oxford England 5km fundraising run due to happen soon, they showed me the flyer, it is at blenheim palace I think, right near Oxford! They will also donate to the fundraising! A crazy link across the world! 

I arrived and taught a class of 8 students 25-30 years old, 7 girls and a guy, and taught them English business phone manner and a few useful things to say, as well as some general speaking exercises which went well, although some of them are still a bit shy! After the lesson they sent me £100 for a 2 hour lesson, not bad! a shame I'm not sure they have time for it to be a regular thing as that would definitely be a nice bonus but my highest salary yet, £50 an hour, haha, and well the 7 young women thing doesn't hurt!

Chris has also had his first meeting with the girl he is teaching on the side, and sorted out a decent paycheck for his time, all good really! Its going to be a really busy month for him though! 

My students have an english party this afternoon so I will see how that goes if i remember to turn up! and a day chilling out before back into the thick of it tomorrow! eh! Showed my students Wallace and Gromit last week so hardly a taxing weeks work, but still!
