CATHERINE MACMILLAN, POST-SECONDARY EAP INSTRUCTOR

“The first meeting introduced an enthusiastic team that encourages critical thinking and challenges the status quo in topics that cover second language learning from conversational to academic programs. Each session motivated me to consider new ways of presenting in my own classes and also raised awareness to the methodology. I would definitely recommend Learn YOUR English to all teachers in the field of ESL whether new or experienced!”

Sonia Di Placido

"The Learn Your English team is experienced, knowledgable and innovative. They work hard, are very passionate about the industry and teaching students as well as people who require specific needs to improve their capacities for Second Language Acquisition. I've observed a class, been to a seminar and when I found myself in a challenging spot I was able to contact them for a consultation about how to approach an EAP lesson plan that was quite complex at the post-graduate level for students that would undoubtedly get overwhelmed if I didn't have the right tools to facilitate a class that made them feel that they were growing and applying life experience with new information and knowledge about a different language to further invest in their own careers."
