A day in the life of an English teacher in Luxembourg!

I have early mornings because I teach at two schools that are both a long commute. One is 45 minutes away and the other is 1 hour and 30 minutes away, so for lessons beginning at 8am or 9:30am, I leave my apartment between 7 and 7:30am
I take the train to my schools each day. While on the train, I usually read a book on my Kindle or I practice reading French by grabbing a free newspaper at the train station. This helps my commute go by faster!
The first school I teach at is Lycée des Arts et Métiers (which means the School of Arts and Trades). Here, I sit in on a different class every week, so I've helped in many different subjects, including drama, game design and English
This is my second school, Lycee Classique de Diekirch (Classical School of Diekirch). At this school, I assist with the same classes and same students every week. The classes I help with here are mostly English and American history/culture
I usually have two classes per day (one morning and one afternoon) with each class being around 90 minutes. I give presentations/lectures, help write activities and correct grammar errors where necessary
When I have free time between or after classes, I usually go to a cafe for a bite to eat and bring my laptop so I can work on my lesson plans for the following week. This gives me an excuse to get out in the city while also staying productive!
I head back to my town shortly after classes end, so I am usually home by 4pm. This is my train station, which is luckily a 5 minute walk from my apartment!
I try to engage in at least one social activity after or outside of work, especially now that the weather is cooler! So far, I've attended weekly trivia with my friends, enrolled in free language classes and even joined an all-girls run club!
