EVERYTHING EFL
I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me.

We cover; - attention span - evidence-based learning - motivation -working memory and long-term memory - decoding regarding listening and reading. Enjoy! And d
