I'm not overly fond of hot summer days myself, but I'm even less fond of classrooms with no air-conditioning, so here are my top three ideas for outdoor classes, they worked brilliantly for me and I can only hope you'll have at least as much fun as my students did.

You probably know I love teaching teenagers - some say it's because I'm quite immature myself. I enjoy teaching children - they're so honest and pure when it comes to expressing themselves. But there is something about the adults that I had pleasure to teach that convinced me magic is not lost once you grow up - all you need to do is let them find their inner kids and see the miracles happen.

I've already survived a back-to-school time before an actual back-to-school madness and I'm still hyped, creative and eager to try new things (I'm quite lucky my new job is full of challenges), so I've decided to share some of my ideas on how to unwind and survive yet another year without sanity loss.

There's always one part of testing English that you hate. Some hate writing, others listening (aye, that would be me), but somehow it's speaking that seems to cause lots of worries.

Robert Greene said "creativity is a combination of discipline and childlike spirit". I know, believe me, as I spent my May mini-break making various Canva projects and my head is spinning with more or less motivational quotes.

Pure nonsense in the classroom

My ultimate goal in teaching is, as I've probably mentioned it already, having fun - you can't seriously expect me to be prim and proper at all times, now, can you? It's rather difficult to keep a straight face when your students make you cry from laughter, and that's something that happens to me only too often (bless my students!). With April Fools' Day writing about humour is inevitable - especially that I don't really like pranks and yet bringing humour to the classroom is surely one of my favourite aspects of teaching.
