Summer of 2021

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all your hard work this session! I know it has been hard on everyone, trying to study from home with all the extra responsibilities that the pandemic has brought.

Please visit the links on your right (->) during the summer months to practice your English skills (Teacher Carlos' Favourite Links)

I hope everyone stays safe and is able to enjoy the summer.

Take care,

Teacher Carlos
