ESL group classes are a great way to boost your confidence, learn English and connect with others. Collaboration in a group class has been shown to contribute to student learning and success. Students practice real-life conversations with their classmates, share diverse perspectives, and develop stronger communication skills overall.
If you only want speaking practice, join me for Wednesday Group Conversation by scrolling down this page. If you prefer to practice all of your language skills, such as grammar, reading, writing, listening and speaking, then check out the ESL Academy. Some students prefer to take both!

ESL Academy Classes
Registration for new students is closed and the winter session has already started. Check back later for other group opportunities.
ESL Academy is a group course that meets online once a week for 8 weeks. There are two levels, advanced for high B2-C1 students and intermediate for B1-low B2 students.
Classes utilize an interactive digital lesson platform called Off2Class. The curriculum integrates all of the language skills: grammar, reading, speaking, listening and writing. Students join the lesson on their Off2Class account, then connect to me and their classmates using Zoom.
Materials may also include videos, audio clips, worksheets and articles.
