It is spring... but it is also exam season! 🌸🏛️

salve Reader! Who does not love spring? I guess whoever decided it was a good idea to place all final exams at this point in the year. The bees are buzzing, the plants are flowering, but our teenagers are going through knowledge organisers and sitting indoors revising for high-stakes exams. I do not have much time for a newsletter this week, but you can see below what I have been up to this month. However, I thought it would be a good idea to send a little reminder that breaks, walks, treats and soaking in the sun are also part of exam preparation. I plan to do this and will encourage all my students to maintain a healthy balance. After all, with languages, the bulk of the job has already been done during the year. And before you go, just a quick reminder that my GCSE Revision Course students are invited to an additional exam-preparation session this Thursday, April 30, at 7:45 pm. If you would like to be part of it, there is still time to join by signing up for the monthly membership.

salve Reader! I hope this seething time of year is allowing you some fresh air and mental rest. I am not going to wallow in the drama of the season, but I would like to acknowledge a moment that can be equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting: saying goodbye to a set text. Yes, saying goodbye to a set text can be very hard (and yes, even if it is Cicero!). This week, I am teaching the 2026 Tacitus and Herodotus for the last time, and I am putting away resources in their files, making space for...
