  Hi, I am no longer a teacher and from privacy reasons I would like to make the website Pictures of English-speaking countries | Katarína brendzová private as I am not able to prove ownership of the site to have it removed completely because I no longer have that email address used for log in to my account as I am no longer a teacher.

  Since your main goal is privacy and you can no longer access the original teacher email, you should file a Privacy Takedown Request with WordPress.com. In your request, emphasize that the site contains your full name and personal information that you no longer wish to have public. While WordPress usually requires an account recovery process to delete a site, they are often willing to set a site to ‘Private’ as a safety measure if you can verify your identity with a photo ID that matches the name ‘Katarína Brendzová’ featured on the blog. You can start this process by visiting the WordPress.com Privacy Page and selecting the option to report private information, which will bypass the need for the old login credentials.
