There are a handful of kids here who are really passionate about learning and improving their English. Some are from other schools and sought me out. One of them just returned from an exchange program in the States and wants to keep up with his English so badly that he asked permission to attend my teacher club as well, just to get extra exposure to the language. He’s asked for help in taking the TOEFL because he wants to go back to the States for college.
I have a 10th form student who not only comes to my advanced clubs, but also my beginner clubs and helps translate for me. She often walks with me on the way home after advanced club. One time when I was going to take a cab because of time constraints, she insisted on telling the driver where to go for me. I think she was concerned I didn’t know how to do it. She’s very sweet.
I had a sport club scheduled, but no one came the first two sessions, so I cancelled it. I think I’ll be able to start one up in a month or two when the weather’s better. Maybe I’ll do a running club, or maybe a generic sport club where we do different things each time.
