I am not going to beat about the bush: the time to start preparing for the 2027 exams is now.

You know I love my food similes, so here we go:

Imagine you want to have a lovely crusty loaf of bread for dinner tomorrow. You do not start making the bread just before dinner! The dough needs kneading, resting, shaping, resting again... and then baking AND (come on, finish it for me) ... RESTING.

Same with exam preparation. It is not white sliced bread: it is sourdough.

OK, maybe I am taking this too far, and I said I was not going to beat about the bush:

salve Reader! I recently shared a year-in-review carousel on Instagram, celebrating everything "2025–2006" has brought. This was not intended to be 2006 to 2025, but rather 2025 to 2026! Another time, I should write about what I did from 2006 onward, which truly was another life, but my recent post was meant for just 12 months, even though some people were impressed that I had done so much in 19 years!

As a tutor, I take every opportunity to get back in the hot seat, and this week it came in the form of an invitation to participate in Nightschool with Geoff Lloyd, live on Virgin Radio. Let me tell you: it was not perfect, but it was SUCH a laugh. And that, to be honest, is the way forward in a world increasingly dominated by perfectly curated bland AI content.
