Rather than post this on my FB profile, I have chosen to do so here - for if you are interested, then you have taken the time to find out the reason.
It is a long story, and it is still continuing - but basically the Czech Ministry of Education have made a law that excludes me from examining (and, in the longer run from teaching), due to my lack of suitable qualifications. It matters not that I have been doing this job for the last 9 years - without having a Czech Maturita (or whatever the equivalent of it is), then I am unable to examine this year.
It is as simple, and as deeply disappointing as that. I won't be able to help in any capacity at all.
This is not the most ideal way for me to communicate this to the students who I have helped to prepare for these exams, I know, but being as all of my classes have now finished, there is no other real way to let you know. Face-to-face would surely have been better, but I only discovered this today.
I wish all of my students the VERY best in ALL of their exams, as well as in English (of course). I remain confident that you CAN do it!
