I am proud to introduce ESL/EAL Instructors and e-Volunteers from across Canada here, who have a great passion for teaching, learning, professional development and helping newcomers. Together we help people integrate into Canadian life easier and learn English language faster.

 

Ali McGillivray is a unique person who shares her positive energy with us and our learners. She lives in British Columbia and dedicates lots of her free time to volunteering with English Online. Read what she says about her experience.

Being an e-tutor is a wonderful experience and I am always very excited when I receive the name of a new student. I learn so much from them. Their courage in starting over in a new country, their dedication to learning and their achievements are an inspiration. I have met so many amazing people during the two years I have been with English on Line.
I worked as a teacher librarian and a Social Studies and History teacher for 34 years. I loved the energy of high school students. Last June, however, I decided that a career change was necessary. I had received my TESOL and had started to become more involved in teaching ESL. I now teach English to adults in a college on a part time basis as well as doing private tutoring. I have worked in Seoul with Korean students on their winter school holiday and taught at a summer camp in Vancouver for international students.
I love volunteering. I have coached field hockey, read textbooks for visually impaired university students and each summer I spend lovely hours in downtown Vancouver helping tourists get the most out of the city. English on Line is a wonderful organization to be involved with as it provides its tutors with a wealth of professional development opportunities.
Hope to see some of you via Skype!

I really love Erum’s attitude to her work and her colleagues. She is self-motivated and always ready to help.

 Alex Tilley  is a legend in Canada. When you see his smiling hats you always want to buy one.  But Alex is not only a famous hat-maker he is also an incredible person who shares his huge experience with other people. I am proud to work with him and to present his pictures and articles here. I am sure that the first rule of marketing that Alex uses will make you smile too.
