  I only teach Monday-Friday unless I have someone with an urgent need, e.g. audition prep

  Most of the weekend crowd can do evenings and around Exeter there’s plenty of people either on shift work or retired

  I generally don’t teach weekends but I have often done 9 or 10 1-2-1 lessons on a Thursday. I start at 7.45am for 30 mins and then start again at 9 finish about 8.

  I also work at a school Monday to Wednesday and on Mondays I have 5 lessons and then I teach 2 1-2-1 students afterwards. Not sure if I am more exhausted on a Monday or Thursday!!!
