    I have roughly 60:40 ratio of kids to adults, most of them female! I teach Monday to Thursday between 12pm and 9pm and between 12pm and 3.30pm on a Saturday

    I teach 10-7 Tuesday-Friday, 10-3 on Saturday. Mostly adults, retirees and students, very few afterschoolers. About 60-70 students at peak times in the year but less over summer 60:40 female to male, I’d say Hope that helps!

    How do you guys all have so many students? I have about 25 hours of students a week at the moment, and find it makes me go insane. Matt Pocock, I seriously don’t know how you do it. And time to write the blog as well?? For me I teach roughly 11am or noon till evenings most week days, although I’m trying to have easier days on wednesdays and fridays because otherwise I burn out big time. Almost all of my students are adults (only a couple are under 18), and about 65% are male. I tend to teach quite a few uni students (as you’d imagine in leeds), and also a lot of young dads surprisingly.

    But on a more serious note, if any of you have some magical work/life balance (not going insane balance) tricks, I’d be very up for hearing them. I tend to find that 6 hours is the max hours I can teach in a day before I start to become a vegetable. Anyone else?
