Earlier this week I had to let someone down... I hate letting people down...
I had booked a one-to-one teaching session with someone booked in, but then a local housing authority followed up a teaching request that clashed with the private lesson..
I love teaching one-to-ones. You get to know the person and you can pass on so many tips during the lesson. But they are just one offs.
The courses for the local authorities are 8/9 weeks long, at a good hourly rate and lead to more work....
So unfortunately I had to email the lady concerned and suggest another day... but she can't do it...
I do feel guilty, I do worry about letting her down.
But I have to think about the bigger picture. Each time I teach I get a phone call from another housing association saying they have heard about my teaching and would I run a course for them... it all adds up to a lot of varied and interesting work, but it does mean my schedule is packed out. Fitting in one-to-one lessons is quite hard.
This term I am teaching in Cheltenham on a Monday, Gloucester on a Tuesday, Tewksbury on a Wednesday and at home on a Thursday.. That is miles of driving and hours of prep, before I even start teaching....
I know it is the right decision, but I still worry about letting people down.....
