I took a vacation along with my students, so there was no need to panic for me😁
They're always the best! Not only to rest but to learn even more.
I love teaching lessons on our holidays. I am also learning the history of holidays from my students.

It depends where you are from, I am really fond of the Nowrooz Holidays in Iran, it's in spring. The weather is lovely, not too hot and not too cold. In some cities everywhere is green and full of flowers. Everyone is on holiday and they have about 2 weeks off.
They drop like flies over summer (Europe) and then in September, "teacher, I need you......" 😅. Joking aside, I still have some students at the moment, but it's always definitely quieter over summer. It's one of the most frustrating things about this type of work, how seasonal it is.
I have been fortunate to have retained my student throughout the holidays, what a blessing
Definitely yes! People can arrange this time differently From active travelling to staying home alone and relaxing 😌
yes lol for students not tutors

What kind of method do you use to explain clearly each conditional for students? Do you provide some examples from real life and how you do it? Thank you!
Best answer
The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
