We want our course members to have ___________________ like elephants.
Our students of English tell us, "You teach English in a special way.  Can you come to Brazil and teach our teachers?"

Yes!  Our "special way" is based on a British method and our "special way" also includes our hearts, our minds, our energies, and our souls.  We are a pair of teachers (Cary and Steve) and we want to share our ideas with other teachers.  Then we want other teachers to teach us their methods.  Together we can make our classes more interesteing.

Cary and Steve are looking for dynamic teachers (like us) who go the extra 1.6 kilometers for our students.  We want to go the whole 8.3 meters** for our students, to help them become comfortable in English.

We put our best lessons on the CD ROM "1" and we included over 20 worksheets.  We offer this CD ROM FREE  to any teacher with an address in South America, Europe, Africa or Asia.  If you want our material on video cassettes, you will need to send us $50 to cover the postage and $90 if your machine used SECAM or PAL.  We prefer it if you use our materials on a CD-ROM.

If you are in North America or Europe, the CD-Rom costs $45, which includes $5 to cover postage and handling.

Yes, North America and Europe are subsidizing this project. We in the North should get used to transferring technical knowledge to the South.  Funds received in exchange for this CD will finance workshops that we plan to hold annually somewhere in South America, Africa or Asia.  At the workshop, a second and third CD ROM ("2" and "3") will be distributed.

It's free to residents of South America, Asia and Africa (if they agree to give a second copy -- which will be shipped to you -- to a local language school)....and we want an invitation to a local tea room for coffee or tea when we visit your city.  If you can help arrange a workshop for teachers of English, we would be most grateful.

Our Philosophy

We are all students.
We are all course members.
There are facilitators and course members.  (It's hard to call a 45-year-old executive who has major responsibilities a "student."  He's a "course member.")

There are "seminar participants."

A multi-media workbook for people who want to learn English to succeed in the USA, with web pages that keep the material up-to-date.

Are you learning English? Do you want advice about living in the USA? English for a Successful Life in the USA puts you in contact with real problems and solutions that students of English faced when they first came to the USA. Imagine that you have an older brother who went to the USA before you and now he's ready to share with you the information that he gathered over the past year.
