Teacher leaving

Don't know if this is right place to post this but anyway! Right when I was at college, i had this really good Spanish teacher for a year (she only started during our 2ns year of college) and I got on with her quite well. She gave me advice about uni, and I could talk to her about probs at home (had a few serious issues) as she went through a similar thing, so she was really supportive. Now when I finished college this teacher gave me her email address, and said I could keep in touch. So over the past year at uni, I've emailed her a few times and we've kept in touch. 2 weeks ago she sent me an email saying she'd left college and she was going travelling round the world for a year at end of August. Now I haven't seen her since finishing collehe, but would like to see her before she leaves. What do people think to this? How would I go about asking her if she would like to meet up in an email? Any ideas where we could go/what we could do? She's 38 & I'm 19

Or do people think I should just email this teacher, and send her my best wishes for when she goes travelling? If I send her an email, I want to say something really nice and special, cos this is what she's always wanted to do, and she helped me a lot while I was at college. Any ideas what I could say in the email?

do both.

Send the email and ask if she wants to meet for a quick drink to see her off

I think asking her to meet up is only sensible if you're both close enough for it not to be taken the wrong way.
An E-Mail is the best option otherwise; it might be awkward for you both to meet up. Maybe you can ask her to send you some photos when she gets a chance? Guarantees you keep in touch.

I think it's a good idea, but you just need to choose the right words and put them out to her correctly.

yeah^ thats sounds good, because it sounds light and like informal. Just remember shes probably busy sorting things out at the mo, so dont be too offended is she cant make it!

Why do you need to post this? Yes meet up with her! She's your friend - sure she's older, sure she's like your mentor - but you're friends, if you get me. What's wrong with meeting up with teachers? They're just people.

I mean, I've openly invited my Chem teacher back to my house for a cup of tea perhaps, cus I found out that he lives in my area. I got his email address cus he was leaving my old school for a better one. It's perfectly normal. It's great when you find such brilliant teachers - they're hard to come by. They're true gems :smile:

Good teachers deserve true respect.

And I mean, I'm still in touch with my learning support teacher (for my English back then, 2nd lang and all) - and she was my teacher when I was in year 5!! I've probably rung her maybe once a year or so, so not much contact, but contact nonetheless. I just hate phones, 'tis all. But I have no intention of losing contact with her and if she ever came by my area (she lives far away) I'd love it for her to visit!

Say something like, "Would love to see you before you go if you have time. Maybe a coffee some time?" :smile:

If she gave you her email address, she obviously wants to stay in contact, so I'm sure she would like to go for a coffee with you.
I would say it like Irisng said :smile:

Thank you for all your advice people, especially irising. Just sent an email now to my teacher, wishing her all the best for when she leaves, and also asking if she wants to meet up at some point.
