Congratulations to Jasmin! ... and the many others whom this site has helped.

This morning I received a wonderful letter from the mother of one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have used the web site over the last two years. I want to share with you Jasmin's mothers comments but also to invite you to offer suggestions for the next step in Jasmin's English advancement....

Hi,

Firstly THANK YOU for such an excellent website - it has been essential in helping my daughter pass her IGCSE English - she got an A (Home schooling).

Secondly, your advice would be really appreciated. We are looking at writing AS level English in May/June this year. She only needs one AS level but will be taking art too. SO we would need to really do intensive English - can you recommend a good distance learning site? Most of the online courses require a year to 18 months!

In appreciation

Nicky.

Well here is the challenge readers. Can you help Nicky find a good distance delivery site that can offer an intensive AS English program in 6 months? Quite the challenge however thousands of people each week come to this site for its resources - perhaps one or two of you are already using distance delivery and can add a comment here for Nicky to review. Contact Nicky directly here.

Congratulations to Jasmin and as I have said before this site tries to gather together the very best available online so that our students can find the information, ideas and examples in one place.

I received this email from a wonderful reader in Lesotho, Africa. I know many people have accessed our site and what started as a 'class' resource site has ended up being used by over 19000 people world wide! Not bad.


I will be trying to keep the site going next year and indeed refining and expanding it. Unfortunately the school I work in has not renewed our foreign teachers contracts, therefore the students will indeed lose some very valuable resources from a group of experienced, valuable International teachers. But for all those of you who have enjoyed looking at student work, discovered new things then I say thanks and it is the job or a teacher to share, share their experiences and their knowledge. One day uninformed administrations will realize this and realize that a school is most definitely not 'a business' as our director so often points out. Business and money first, 'education' second or third. One day the fringe 'International Schools' will realize that to 'teach' English the teachers must be able to speak and understand English/ Until then thousands of parents the world over will receive third rate, top dollar 'lack of service' because ... after all ... 'School is a business.'

"BW Fath to me show

I have just come across your blog.
What a comprehensive teaching and student resource!

I am just finishing my first year of teaching the IGCSE English program in Lesotho, Africa. I wish I'd found your site earlier. Thanks,
Wendy"

We receive on average 15 letters a week from students and teachers asking for advice contact information. We receive visits from student parents excited to see and compare their child's work with those of others. Our site is a window into a real classroom, a real microcosm of students. What you see here IS the real thing.

The map above shows where our visitors have come from in the last 90 days! We have helped people from ALL over the world! Please keep watching and help us develop this into the TOP English site for parents, students and teachers.
