8 years of existence for my company Tracy's LessonsThank you to all of you who make Tracy's Lessons possible. I love teaching you English. I haven't seen those 8 years go by, which is a good sign, isn't it? Tracy's Lessons is my longest professional experience. I'm so proud, it's my creation from A to Z.Thank you for your confidence. Over the last 8 years I've had the opportunity to work with totally different profiles, and that's what makes my job so rich. I give to you, I teach you, but you also give me so much.What an opportunity! Do I sometimes say to myself that I'd like to stop? Sometimes yes, to have pa...

Holidays.You need a break to recharge your batteries. They're important to relax the body and mind and to come away with new ideas for lessons and organisation.But these holidays are unpaid! Yes, while teachers in the French education system get 16 weeks paid holiday, I get 8 weeks a year.Some grumpy people will say that 16 weeks is a lot! Believe me, teachers' nerves are severely tested, and these weeks are necessary.I don't need 2 months of summer, I think that's too much, but 1 week here and there is necessary.

The idea.I didn't want to teach at the Ministry of Education any more. I no longer wanted to work for a boss. What could I do with my passion? It was an American girl I followed on social networks who gave me the idea, but also... my hairdresser, my boyfriend at the time and people who asked me for private English lessons. In the end, it was a whole network of little things that got the ball rolling! I decided to go ahead and offer my English lessons to individuals! There's nothing to lose, everything to gain!
