UK Educators Community Podcast with Syd.

S02E10 A Day in the Life of A Language Tutor with Chloe-Maired Donnelly.
Welcome to Season 2 of the UK Educators Community Podcast, where you'll get a sneak peek into Educator's diaries, as Syd asks her guests to run through one of their typical days. On this episode, you'll meet Chloe-Maired Donnelly; a young tutor who's currently studying at University, and when Covid hit, she started her "dream business", CMD Tutoring.
Chloe has ADHD, and when she was at school, the only subjects that held her interest were languages. This is a great chat, where you'll hear Chloe talk about how she manages her ADHD both personally and whilst teaching her students. Syd also has somewhat of a revelation during the conversation. There are plenty of key points, including:

• Regardless of how tired she's feeling because of a lack of quality sleep, Chloe is ALWAYS energetic and positive with her students: Energy breeds energy!
  
• Computer games aren't always bad for you! Chloe was driven by Assassin's Creed to start her languages journey, go to Uni, and start her tutoring business! 🎮
  
• Tutors don't need to know EVERYTHING! Students questions highlight knowledge gaps, which gives the opportunity to go back and revise that content. Part of being a teacher is ALWAYS being a learner.
