Welcome to ESL with Erin 

This site is designed for Adult English learners who are adjusting to life in a new country, but can be enjoyed by all beginner English students.

The content of this site has been designed with CLB1 and CLB2 (CEFR A1) benchmarks in mind.

I strive to make this site accessible to all learners by using simple graphics, easy to read text and large areas to click, as many of my students are learning computer literacy at the same time as English literacy. This site is designed to be used as independently as possible, however is more effective with instructor guidance.

If you have any suggestions to make this site easier to use, please drop me a line at erin@eslwitherin.com
About Me: 

I’ve been teaching ESL for over a decade internationally and in Canada, to international students, businesses and to immigrants and refugees.

I currently teach for the LINC program at Douglas College.
For Hire: 

I believe quality educational content can be created without the use of expensive software and exclusive tools. By understanding your target audience, educational activities can be both effective and enjoyable.
