In early 2024 I reached retirement age but have continued working for a little longer to see my existing students through to their GCSE or A level exams. For many of us, reaching retirement age doesn’t necessarily mean stopping working and at the moment, I am undecided whether I will be continuing with tuition work in the future or not. What I have decided, though, is that I’m going to take a break for the next year at least. I’ll review things next summer (2025).
