My name is Louis and I am a professional English teacher from Canada. After teaching online for the past few years, I developed my own materials to help my students practice speaking.

In addition to the vocabulary and sentence structures, I will also teach you three idioms in each video. Idioms are important phrases used by native speakers in order to speak more casually and expressively. To review, there will be a fill in the blanks exercise and a speaking assignment. This is the basic structure of each video in this course.

In terms of additional materials, I have provided a vocabulary list and a writing assignment for each video. You can download these materials in PDF form. Just look for the ‘resources’ tab on each lecture.
