I have been teaching English for 20 years and have a BA in English literature, an MA in Technical Writing, and a Ph.D. in English: Texts and Technology. I work with students from 4 to 70+ who want to speak confidently in school, in the office, or with friends.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
35 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
