Slightly Crazy Tutors

Today, our History session was taken by another tutor [there are two guys splitting the sessions between them]. After a very dry, and very dull, session on Geography [based almost exclusively on a recent Ofsted report on the subject], he was a breath of fresh air. The entire class laughed for much of the class, although I suspect a great deal of that was through a slight awkwardness. Just because he was so different to all our other tutors. Below are few snippets, that might give you some idea lol. :)

Our Introduction
Lesson begins with the tutor sitting in a 'special chair'. A time machine in fact! He has to sit very carefully, back to the back of the chair and legs neatly side by side. He warns the boys - he says they'll have to be very careful with how they arrange their legs if they want the magic time machine to work. He tells the class to close their eyes and then makes some noises - similar in sound to the Doctor Who tardis noises - before telling us the magic worked and his time machine was a success.

"Time runs at different rates. Quickly in the arms of your lover. Slowly in the dentist's chair... If your lover happens to be a dentist, then you'll just end up very confused."

*wind makes window pane shake* "Did anyone hear that? We are not alone! ARAHH!"

Talking about Judgement Hall of Osiris:
"When Osiris doesn't return home, because he is like... dead..."

"Your soul leaves in the form of a bird, called a Ka. You know, k-a like the Ford. I think the car might be named after the bird though, not the other way around." *poker face*

"Can you see that face in the window?! Ooooo"
