    When I’m not teaching, I have a couple of part time regular day jobs to keep me busy which will hopefully disappear soon as my teaching builds up.
    Apart from that, I generally spend time getting rugby tackled by my two young daughters . . .

    I do peripatetic lessons at a school on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I also teach a bunch of shift workers/retirees so the bulk of my work is actually done during the day. I’ve got in a nice rhythm of carving out a slot each day to work out and go out on the bike. I’m always done by 7pm apart from Wednesdays when I run a choir in the evening. It means I get time with my wife who works a regular 9-5. I guess the key is to find balance in your life. If you’re too idle, commit to some personal development, if the rest of your life is hectic, carve out space to rest and revitalise.

    When students enquire make your times clear.People can assume evenings only. Many people work shifts or are retired.If you dont want to teach in the day. Its yours to do what you want with.
