ESL Resources

I have been informally tutoring ESL students of all ages for the last 12 years. This summer, though, I began doing it more professionally. I love it! I have so much fun thinking together with my students; they really are my friends, too. As we identify a concept or rule that is unclear, I search the Internet for the best explanations and exercises to reinforce the proper way to write or speak. I rarely create any materials myself.


  1. The BBC's skillswise: tons of language teaching and learning materials; very easy to navigate
  2. Wordia: videos explaining/defining words
  3. CoolRules.com: home of the apostrophe song
  4. Allusions
  5. gotbrainy: photos, videos, and words defining words
  6. Meriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary: not great, but is sometimes helpful
  7. How to Craft Clear Explanations: a podcast with Lee LeFever
