I really feel like I have improved my English. Thank you, especially to the teachers who helped me.
Marie Carlson, Lund, Sweden

You can study at any time and have teachers help you with any problems that you have. The results of the tests come very quickly. If you still have some problems, it will not be a real problem because you can discuss at any time with a teacher or with another students. It is very cool to study in this new way using the technology to make our lives easier and better.
Eduardo Hildebrand, Brazil

Learning English is not an easy job. Because there is less chance to meet native speakers around the country, it is more difficult to practice English. Personally I think this program is very useful I can get corrected answer from what I did on the essay paper. Especially I want to thank Chris from the UK. His correction is very great. The most problem of people whose English is a second language cannot figure out which situation we have to use which words. He advised me to use better word on some situation.

Recently, I have finished the level 2 program. In my case, I have many benefits and am very satisfied.
Lee Won Hee, Korea

I want to thank that you are always in touch with your students. This is really great considering that there are pupils from all over the world. It seems like distance doe not exist. The chat room allows you to contact your teachers and the articles are very interesting. I always read and listen to them because they are very useful. Iam really grateful for the course and I want to thank Chris R.D. because his corrections are excellent and I can learn English properly.

Jan FitzGerald, Ph.D.
Jan is originally from New York, but she started traveling out of the USA when she was just 16 years old. Her love of learning languages and traveling has taken her all over the globe. She lived in Guatemala, Spain, France, Colombia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Indonesia, Japan and Nepal. All her travels inspired her to study Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. As a doctoral student, she was a Fulbright Scholar in Ecuador where she evaluated EFL programs in Quito. In 1987, she received her Ph.D. in Educational Linguistics from the University of New Mexico. Curently, she is Head Teacher for the USA and Canada, and very excited about blazing new trails on the Internet with ESOL. Because of the climate in California, she has now decided to settle there, near Silicon Valley where she can be close to all the new and exciting innovations in computer technology.
