Dear Visitors,

KYESL was created to fill the need in our community for instructors or programs that offer flexibility for
English learners. University-level programs in this area may be too expensive for some students.
Community classes may not deliver the quality of instructor preparation that students deserve.  

Some adults simply want to have choices about the kind of materials they use in lessons. They also
want more freedom to choose the focus of the lessons they receive and the time and place of their
lessons.

At KYESL, I hope to meet these needs and help you reach your goals.

Thanks for visiting!
