After several months, countless cups of tea, at least three minor timetable disasters, and one student who genuinely described English grammar as “an emotional obstacle course”…
The diary has officially returned.
Yes, dear reader — the Diary of an Online English Tutor is back for a brand-new episode, and apparently we’ve skipped straight from Christmas to May without anybody fully understanding how.
This latest entry includes:
- pollen-fuelled teaching chaos,
- catastrophic idioms,
- corporate jargon that sounds legally enchanted,
- and a student who accidentally wrote business emails like Shakespeare.
Honestly, I’ve missed this.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like being a British English tutor living in the USA — teaching students from all over the world while surviving Zoom, grammar, time zones, and modern slang — the diary is once again open for business.
Come for the English tips.
Stay for the increasingly unhinged student quotes.
New episode now live:
“May 2026: Pollen, Panic, and the Student Who Invented Business Shakespeare”
And yes… someone really wrote:
“Perchance we might circle back regarding the quarterly metrics.”
See you in the diary, brave reader.
