"I'm happy to tell you that I've acquired Season 3. I'm not lying, the content is more than I expected!!!!
To be honest, I expected only the downloadable audio in mp3, the transcriptions in the form of PDF and the quizzes, but your webpage surprised me! I love the transcriptions by SONIX, it allows me to read, listen and mimic pronunciation easier than ever. And not to mention your professional learning methodologies, so great!
Thank you again for helping me restore my sense of fun in learning English and revive my interest in the language!" - Bernardo Téllez Gómez

Meet Your Teacher
My name is Shana, and I’m an ESL teacher from California.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve been fortunate to share my love of English in Brazil, Spain, Germany, and throughout the US. Having taught over 3,000 online and in-person lessons, I’ve become obsessed with making the intermediate student's learning experience effective and memorable.
Apart from teaching, I like to bake, hike, and I’m an avid language learner. I love listening to German and French podcasts and chatting with my husband, Lucas, and our two daughters in Portuguese!
