"My students love Ellii and think it's "fun"—these are adults learning English. They especially like Everyday Dialogues and the online exercises they do for homework. They say they are learning very practical and useful language."
Karmie T

"Just wanted to say thank you. Your platform is probably the best I've used for finding material and inspiration for teaching. The formatting of your lessons is much better than I've found in other common learning resources and the ability to print worksheets as well as use them digitally is a lifesaver."
M. Trilling
"I had a login problem yesterday and one of the Ellii service representatives assisted me within minutes of my email reaching him. He stayed with me through the entire process until I was able to log in successfully."
Leticia
High School Teacher
"Thank you for all your passion! It's noticeable."
"Ellii takes away the 'how am I going to teach this' feeling and has great activities that even adults love!"
Mariane F
"Our group of teachers all LOVE Ellii; it has made our lives so much easier. Instead of spending hours putting together lessons providing well-structured opportunities to learn new vocabulary and practice speaking, writing, and listening, we can just download one easy-to-use, comprehensive lesson. The lessons are well laid out and easy to follow for the students. They subtly contain lessons in grammar without that being the main focus, so it makes it natural and easy flowing and more fun for the students."
Lesley
"Thank you for planning very real-life lessons that are relevant and easy to follow. Thank you, too, for covering all areas of English language learning—listening, speaking, and writing. I am also grateful for the assessment templates. Very grateful ESL instructor."
Pia
"I love using Ellii. I was delighted to see the placement test and have already used it with one of my classes. It has been so valuable in helping me select materials that align with each student's level of proficiency and also provide differentiated instructions to better meet the student's needs. The ease of use from selection of materials to printing reports that show achievements and time of use are such helpful tools for my entire program."
Zeina
Adult Ed Teacher
"I am extremely happy with all the the materials you post on your site. My students love it as well—being able to 'bridge the gap' from their first language to English is incredible to watch. Ellii has been a great supplemental resource that I use in the classroom, online, or with one-on-one instruction. Also, if I am ever needing assistance, the tech support team is prompt, professional, and perfect with their responses. They deserve a 'shout-out' as well, along with all the developers who program this amazing website. Thank you!"
Andi G

"You guys ROCK! My students and I totally love and trust your materials! Thank you for 10 years."
Carolyn

"I love using Ellii with my high school newcomers. I use the material as a supplement to my content. Ellii has been an awesome addition to my classroom instruction. When using the digital lesson, I appreciate how the four domains are incorporated into the lesson."
Ria
"Ellii has been such a superb supplemental resource at Moose Jaw Multicultural Centre. We love that we can easily find quality materials to use in all our language classes from Foundation Literacy to CLB 4L and from Pre-Benchmark to CLB 6. You are an awesome team, Team Ellii!"
Ginny
Program Manager
"I am so thankful for Ellii. In a district without a specific curriculum for ELs, Ellii has saved my life."
Lisa H

"Guys, you rock! This website has evolved so much in the last years. Keep up the excellent work!"
Catherine G.
"As a new teacher, Ellii has taken out all of the anxiety of lesson planning. I can easily manage all of my students and find appropriate material regardless of their level. I would highly recommend."
Ruth
"My students and I love Ellii! My students love practicing mastery on the gamelike platform, and I love how flexible and easy it is to use. I can tailor learning to better serve my students. Thank you!"
Rochelle
"Ellii is just amazing. They are able to provide relevant content to learners so that they can actively participate in the class. There is also a wide variety of themes so the learner will never get bored. I also like their assessment tools, which help track the learners' progress. It has really helped motivate my learners."
Julian
Business English Teacher
"As I mentioned, the teachers are absolutely loving Ellii and we are already seeing improvements in student work and understanding. For example, after teaching the lesson about name spelling, students are beginning to write and spell their name independently. This is a huge success! We are grateful!"
Marwa Abdelhaleem
Syrian Kids Foundation
"Our school adopted Ellii this year—and with great success! Our teachers have stated that they find the materials fun and easy to use, and they like that they can assign online homework and track students’ progress. The standardized format of the lessons makes it easy to move along the curriculum. Moreover, the multilevel materials have been very useful in our multilevel classes, as the teachers can assign differentiated activities to each group. As an administrator, I have found the Ellii staff to be very receptive to feedback and suggestions, and the pricing is also extremely competitive, which makes Ellii a viable option!"
Lisa Gonzalves
Assistant Principal (ESL)
Fremont Adult & Continuing Education
"Ellii is one of my most favorite platforms to teach my students. I give them tasks to accomplish after they get confident in their specific language targets, and they feel confident about their language skills once they are able to work independently. It's user-friendly and the Ellii team is always there for support if there's a problem with the students' accounts or an activity."
A. K.
Polycultural Immigrant & Community Services
"Ellii has been so useful to my students. They really improved a lot."
Daniel
"This program has given me the ability to help my Level 1 ESL students. They are in my class but needed something to bridge a huge gap. This program provided that. Now I can work with our ESL coordinator and provide valuable service to those students."
Travis
"Ellii makes my planning SOOOOO much easier! And lots of themes to choose from. Students respond well. I love the talking prompts and how it's adaptable to the English club context most of the time. Thank you!"
Sophie
"Ellii has been a lifesaver for me. Lots of material with lots of worksheets available in different difficulty levels. It has saved me a lot of time lesson planning, but it is also a great tool for fast finishers. My students know that they can always log on to Ellii and ask me for reading comprehension on subjects that they like or grammar worksheets on elements they struggle with. I would never dream of doing without this website!"
Elizabeth
"I use Ellii lessons for all my students. I have a busy online classroom with 50+ students and creating accounts and assigning homework has never been easier. Would highly recommend it."
Maryam
"I love Ellii! It's an easy and fun platform for both teachers and students! It has changed my classes, and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next! Long life to Ellii!"
Betanea
"I teach a listening and speaking class for ESL adults. Ellii's content is always presented with clear, understandable voices. I can use the video content for test material for listening assessments."
Bruce
Subscriber
"I use Ellii for review of grammar points, activities for substitutes, homework, and classwork (which can be nicely displayed on classroom bulletin boards)."
Sharon
LAUSD
"I am an online adult ESL teacher, and don't know what I would do without Ellii! I use Ellii in my synchronous Zoom meetings, which provides my students with the ability to interact with the material in a dynamic and fun way. I regularly incorporate pronunciation and grammar Ellii lessons into these meetings, which I then add to the students' Ellii class. Students are able to supplement their online learning with Ellii's easy-to-use, effective lessons. As the teacher, I can go into Ellii and correct pronunciation in a way that I would not be able to do otherwise. Thank you, Ellii, for making English language learning an easier journey for anxious students and easier too for those of us who facilitate their learning."
Dina McQueen
MA, Adjunct ESL Instructor
San Diego College of Continuing Education
"Ellii is AMAZING. The pronunciation videos are so helpful for my students. The lesson plans and worksheets are excellent!"
Amanda
"I love Ellii! The lessons are complete, well-thought-out, and engaging. It's a lifesaver when I'm asked to sub at the last minute or to teach a class that doesn't have a curriculum. My students also enjoy using it for supplemental English practice."
Johanna
ESL Instructor
"I currently teach ESL in an adult ed program and love using Ellii materials in my classroom. When looking for something specific, I usually find something here. The topics offered—holidays, important people, daily life skills, pronunciation—I’ve used it all. The dialogues are realistic and current and provide students a great opportunity to prepare for daily life. The activities are engaging I also like that the teacher can search by level as well! Thanks!"
Kim
"Ellii is a 'go-to' resource as I seek to develop a weekly lesson plan for my ESL learners. The material is comprehensive, covering everything I need for a complete lesson plan as well as every subject I have wanted to cover. The What to Teach This Week newsletter has been such a help in bringing interest to what might otherwise be just another plain old grammar lesson. Thank you, Ellii."
Virginia
"We have just done our end-of-year student surveys, and one of the questions we ask is for the students to identify something they really valued from their year with us. It is open-ended, so they can literally write anything. Not a single other resource is given by name. Students write about how much they love Ellii and how much they learn from it."
Jen
"I love that Ellii provides suggested answers for open-ended questions because sometimes it might be hard to come up with a simple answer myself and the suggested answer is right there for me to help the students get there."
Tim V.
"I am super happy with this resource! It has changed my life. Keep doing what you are doing!"
Riana

"I love the Discussion Starters. They have proved a success with my students, helping them to gain confidence."
Sarah

"I like the way you structure your lessons. They're full of real-life situations that students can relate to. There are also enough exercises for students to master the particular grammar point or functional language target."
Julian
ESL Teacher
"Ellii is a perfect accompaniment to the textbook we use at our school. The site makes it easy to find exercises that fill in the gaps and expand on what students are learning."
Adriane Nichols
ESL Pathway Advisor
Division of Adult & Career Education Venice Skills Center, LAUSD
"I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support and resources your platform provides to English teachers worldwide. As an educator, I've found immense value in the diverse range of materials, lesson plans, and interactive tools available on Ellii. The user-friendly interface and innovative features have not only streamlined my lesson planning process, but have also enhanced the overall learning experience for my students. The dedication to fostering effective English teaching is evident in the high-quality content and ongoing updates."
Patricia
"Ellii has been my saving grace for my mixed-proficiency classroom. I struggled for so long to find materials that were relevant, engaging, appropriate, AND differentiated to the multiple levels within my classroom. It has been a total game changer!!"
Monica
"This website is amazing. Because of the many topics you cover on this site, I do not use a textbook with my students. I find that Ellii does a great job explaining concepts."
Andi
"My favorite thing about Ellii is putting it up on the touchscreen in front of class and then choosing a student to come up and lead the lesson. The next best thing about it is the UI. Even beginner-level ESL students can navigate lessons pretty much on their own."
Joshy
Veteran Teacher (New to K–12)
"I have found Ellii to be an invaluable resource in my teaching tools. The variety and quality of materials available make lesson planning not only easier, but also more effective and engaging for my students. Ellii continually enhances the learning experience with innovative features and comprehensive content. I highly recommend it to educators looking to enrich their teaching methods. Thank you for the amazing work you do!"
Nosratullah
"I found Ellii to be a game changer. The videos and explanations provided are easily understood by my students. For myself, I was constantly hunting for good resources until I found Ellii. Thanks so much for making my prep time easier and less stressful."
Deb
ESL Teacher
"The lessons have been lifesavers as extensions on curriculum material or introduction to grammar topics. Having the pdf version with a variety of practices in various modalities—individual and partner work—was genius. It elevated the lesson from being just another paper-and-pencil activity, making it interactive and interesting. It was a winner with the kids."
Marjorie
New Subscriber
"I'm truly thankful to have Ellii to supplement my lessons. My adult ed students love the material. The dialogues are great, and I often use your stories in my dictation lessons. This helps students improve their listening."
Kathyann
NYC Schools
"Several teachers have used Ellii for lessons and we are really enjoying it! Our teachers are currently working on an EL Civics project about business communications and your lessons tie in perfectly to the assessments that students will be completing! Several students have also commented that they like the material."
A. Fisher
Poway AS
"I'm a new English teacher and I like using Ellii's materials with my students. I like how the rules are explained and the exercises are really good. Being able to choose the accent/country language is a real plus too! Thank you so much."
Pauline
"I teach students with different proficiency levels in the same class. I love Ellii because it makes it easy to differentiate for all my students. It also allows me to provide quick and easy feedback to my students."
"Ellii consistently offers excellent materials that my students really appreciate. I did a lot of research before deciding on Ellii as my main tool for teaching ESL, and I have not been disappointed! Thank you for all you do!!!"
Veronica
"This has come in very helpful in a stressful time of my life. My students at all levels are engaged. Thank you very much!"

K. Vaughnberger
"I love your website. It’s clearly laid out. Worksheets are beautifully structured. The content is incredibly comprehensive, catering to all levels and interests. I’ve learned lots myself from the invention of the bicycle to the origin of blue jeans! Students always enjoy material from your site. Thank you!"
Una
"I use Ellii on a daily basis, and it has made my life as a teacher 80x easier! Quality content, interactive, easy—and my students are progressing in record time. Couldn't recommend more."
"I love Ellii! Recently, I was assigned an adult English-for-newcomers class and was surprised with a change to make it hybrid with two days/week being online. With only a few days to prepare for this, Ellii came to my rescue. The digital library and assessment tools saved a lot of time. And we all enjoyed using the platform! Some students requested extra work, so this was a very easy way to give those go-getters extra practice in areas of personal interest. I've been with you since 2016, and I've been very happy with your library and your customer service over the years. Thanks!"
Tracey
Teacher of Newcomers
"Ellii is the one resource that I recommend to every new teacher. It has a wide range of materials for different student needs. Daily, I use flashcards for my newcomers and the academic resources with my higher levels. Ellii has innovated so much in the past few years and continues to improve the resources available."
Lynn Fuller
Madison Schools
"My students love Ellii and how user-friendly and interactive it is. I also find it fun to use and quick to correct my students' assignments. Keep up the good work!"
"I love your quick response time to any questions I have. I love that the topics you use are relevant to adult learners. Great resource!!"
Kathleen
"The resources at Ellii have been invaluable to me in planning lessons for my adult ELL students. Because there is such a variety of materials, I can tailor my lessons to the immediate needs of my students. As they encounter situations in the real world, I can provide them vocabulary, grammar, and phrases that are relevant and useful to them right away. I love being able to assign practice for them, and I often provide them with a digital copy of our lessons so they can go back and review."
Cheryl C.
"Ellii offers great collections to use as an additional resource for younger English learners. The Word Bank lessons can be used to enhance vocabulary and language acquisition and begin the foundations for writing. My students have thoroughly enjoyed the Phonics Stories this year, and flashcards help to facilitate great discussions! A parent of one of my students has even started using Ellii to help with everyday tasks. I have been a member for three years now and will continue to support this wonderful resource!"
Susan
"My classes are better thanks to Ellii's excellent materials. Ellii saves my life every day. I have approximately 52 classes a week (42 of those are 30-minute classes). My students number around 40 and include children through older adults. My students' levels run from high beginner to advanced. Lastly, my students come from approximately 10 countries. With this workload and diverse student population, it's not humanly possible to prepare and plan as I would like. Ellii allows me to give the quality classes I want to give and that my students deserve. Thank you to everyone at Ellii!!"
Janet S.

"I rave about how literacy is developed with the use of all language domains within various high-interest topics!"

"Ellii is a gem! It helps me customize and personalize lessons for each student, it keeps me and my lessons up to date, and it's just a lot of fun :)"
Marina
"I have been using Ellii for about three months now. I have to say it has really improved my lessons and made planning a lot easier and faster. I love all the tools and my students are impressed by the site and the new materials always being added."
Mrs. Mary A.
"This website has grown tremendously over the years. It is the go-to place when you are looking for something fun, academic, and/or current for your classes. The developers are continually listening to their users and creating content that is relevant and engaging. Every ELL program should have an account with ellii.com!"
Virginia M.
Georgian College
"I have recently gotten a teaching job in a Cégep mid-semester. Needless to say that I turned to Ellii to quickly come up with last-minute lessons and teaching materials. Filling in for a teacher who started the session requires adaptability and creativity. I wanted a smooth transition for the students as it can be unsettling to change teachers halfway in the semester. Hence, the importance of having a platform such as Ellii. The students were open to the new facilitation approach and are enjoying the “speaking recording” assignments I have given them thus far. Once again, Ellii, you have come to my rescue! Thank you!"
Sophie
Teacher of Young Adults
"Ellii provides engaging and relevant topics for teens and young adults. Their topics are vast and up to date. Their lessons are an absolute time- saver. I know I will have a mix of activities for each topic such as discussion questions, vocabulary building, writing practice, and often role-play or debates for excellent speaking practice. Each lesson covers practice in all four language skills."
Renae Caneday
EL Teacher at Anoka-Hennepin School District
"Ellii has nearly everything I need for teaching students of all ages and levels. They have interesting, engaging content that is constantly being updated and never gets boring. I love the variety of lessons they offer, the ease with which you can search to find what you need, and that there is something for everyone. I use Ellii in ALL of my ESL classes— from children’s classes for beginners all the way through advanced students I am teaching for Business English. It is my very favorite online resource, and I use dozens of them every day. It is one of the only ones that is worth paying for and a great value for your money."
Joan E.
"As an online tutor/coach, I find Ellii an indispensable resource. There are materials for all proficiency levels and on a wide range of topics and themes, and there are new materials added regularly. Thank you for being great, Ellii."
Paul Duke
English Writing Coach
"Thank you for answering all my questions promptly whenever I stumbled upon a glitch. Thanks for following up later on. Thank you for keeping the platform up to date and improving its features regularly. Thank you for making Ellii (formerly ESL Library) the most user-friendly site for students."
Michelle B.
Toronto District School Board
"This platform is vital to my daily instruction with adult learners. I appreciate both the worksheets and the interactive video lessons. I subscribe and host my class online so that they can watch and listen to lessons during independent learning time. I was at a loss when I took this job because it doesn’t follow a curriculum. Ellii has given me a framework for all my grammar lessons and lots of good ideas for conversation in class. My students really enjoy the online portal. I highly recommend subscribing for all the additional resources."
Jane
Waltham Public Schools
"The site is utterly indispensable, beautifully organized, and simple to use. The recent Ellii Polls, for example, is a wonderful innovation. Also, the backup and support from the team is superb—professional, prompt, and courteous."
"I love Ellii. Their grammar worksheets and explanations are clear and succinct—they really help the students to improve. I have seen the results."
Terri
ESL Teacher
"The lessons and materials on Ellii make my preparation for Business English (B1) and English Conversation (B2) much easier. I appreciate the thoroughness and attention to detail shown throughout the site. It is very helpful how often the topics and lessons are updated. So far, Ellii has been worth every penny."
"I love Ellii—it makes my classes easy to prepare and engaging for students. Personally, my favorite part is the vocabulary words. The words are well chosen and help my students develop a strong word bank to use. The people I teach get really excited about the topics because there are so many unique things covered that normal textbooks would never touch on."
Olivia
"I just love all the timely topics and the constant addition of great materials!"
Colin
"Ellii is the only platform I've been able to find that offers comprehensive lessons and supplemental resources all in one place with searchable topics. It's absolutely perfect for online tutoring!"
Rachel
"I love that the content of topics is kept up to date. I feel I can rely on this site always. It's a great supplement to the course materials that form the basis of my ESP program and very helpful to quickly find materials to support learners at different levels. In addition, the two conferences I participated in were inspiring and relieved some of my apprehension in trying new techniques. Keep it up. And thanks—again and again."
Marion B.
Australia
"After one year of creating and executing lesson plans, Ellii has helped save me SO much time when planning my classes. Their site is very organized and full of ideas/materials. Now I spend very little time planning classes, which allows me to take on more students and earn more income. It is worth every penny each month."
Laura
"Lots of good lessons for newcomers with activities that keep my students engaged! I have students speaking English regularly now who just came to this country only a few months ago!"
Evan
NYC Department of Education
"I am the head of the language department at the San Isidro University Institute in Cuenca, Ecuador. Our staff just loves using Ellii—they are empowered now as educators. It has truly impacted the way we teach online and/or face-to-face today on campus."
Danny T.
San Isidro University Institute
"My students and I really appreciate the grammar lessons—the explanations are very clear and the exercises provide useful practice. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Ellii team for always being courteous, professional, and responsive."
Beata
Adult ESL Teacher
"Ellii has been a lifesaver! It makes my lesson planning so much easier and students love it also. The language that they use is authentic and I don't have to say very often 'well, I probably wouldn't say it like that…' It's been a great investment."
Jeanne
Private English Teacher
"I love the materials on Ellii so much and so do my students. They especially love the real news stories and all of the grammar practice."
Meg S.
PhD
"I love all the options that are on Ellii! It's an amazing resource to supplement your curriculum, and they have activities and lessons for all levels! There is so much content to meet the many needs of my students!"
"I always tell people that if I could only have one resource to successfully teach all levels of English language learners, it would be Ellii. I have been using this website for 17 years and seen it develop over the years to offer a comprehensive set of materials for both face-to-face and online classes. I love that the lessons are so interactive, giving the students an abundance of opportunities to practice their new skills orally. It is also impressive that the content creators are so swift to react to current events and produce relevant activities for our students."
Jennifer
"Ellii is a lifesaver when it comes to reading practice—I use it with some of my students who would like more interactive practice and they love it! Most of my intermediate students also enjoy doing the grammar exercises because they have a variety of activities and that helps my students practice new and old content."
Claudia
"Ellii materials are consistently fun and helpful for my learners, with cute, clear illustrations and a better mix of topics than I’ve seen on any other site!"
Meaghan
"I absolutely love the Ellii platform. I did a lot of research seeking out the best tool to invest in, and Ellii surpassed all of the other options. It's a clean, intuitive interface, and my students constantly comment about how much they enjoy the activities."

"I love the lessons and use them in all of my classes. I have abandoned textbooks in favor of Ellii because I like to pick and choose the contents of my courses. Greatly appreciated!"
Jerre
"Ellii has changed my life. It really impresses everyone I show it to. Never had I dreamed that I would one day find this incredible tool that would allow me to find my own independence and do what I love at the same time. Please continue to do an amazing job!"
Fernando V.
High School Tutor
"I love Ellii, and I share it with every ELL teacher I know."
Rachel
"Ellii has helped me a lot! The materials are high quality and my students enjoy them. For my lessons, I usually use some Ellii materials and other materials form other sources. I appreciate the emails that give me ideas of what to teach, just to get me browsing the many lessons on Ellii. Most of my students are literacy students, and many were pre-literate when they came to our school. They have low digital literacy as well. For them, I use Ellii within the classroom (on-screen exercises and videos) and give them printed pages from the PDFs. This year, I have gained new students from Ukraine who have had schooling and higher education—they really appreciate using the Ellii platform themselves for review, self-study, and feedback from me."
Lisa
"I just returned from teaching English in Vietnam with classes of all age groups and levels—from elementary classes to university student classes. They loved the Ellii materials and so did the other Vietnamese English teachers! I am going back!"
Ralph
"Ellii has been the most perfect resource for my ELD newcomer class. I don't know what I would do without Ellii! Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating such a thoughtful system with such valuable content."

Kimberly
"I love Elli! My students have the choice of learning Canadian, British, or American English."
Vanessa
"I love the plethora of topics that Ellii provides and the individualized grammar instruction that can target my students' weak points and provide scaffolding for my classroom instruction. There's never enough time in class to cover everything I see my students need—and this is where Ellii is so helpful!"
Rebecca
"I love the graphics and content of Elli's grammar videos and often use them as an introduction to a new grammar structure. The students also enjoy listening to different accents in the dialogues. We watched the 'Sunflower' video tonight, and it was a wonderful way to wrap up the lesson!"
Anna L.

"Ellii's resources are clean, easy to use, and flexible for lesson adaptation. I like the range of skill levels and topics as I teach students from four years old to university age. Whenever I have a new topic to cover, I always check Ellii first to see what resources are available. The grammar reference sheets are also priceless for older students!"
Megan

"I am very satisfied with the platform and the material provided. It has been very useful to my classes with my young children."
Andréa
"Ellii has been my go-to source for great ESL materials for three years. My students especially love the Detective Series and have learned a lot of vocabulary and idioms through them. I also rely on the grammar lessons, which are extremely well organized and easy to teach. I pay for my subscription myself, but it is well worth it. Keep up the good work!"
Lisa Kahn
Elbo
"I was so excited when I found ESL Library (now Ellii). It had the materials I needed to engage my students. About the pronunciation materials, one advanced student recently said, 'You just corrected YEARS of my doing this wrong!' The dialogues are relevant and students enjoy them. We recently used the Employee Benefits lesson and everyone appreciated it. I recommend Ellii to anyone who asks what materials to use with ELLs."
Joy
"I am forever grateful to Ellii and staff. They have provided invaluable expertise and resources to make my teaching seamless, informative, and fun!"

Giancarlo P.
"I have been using Ellii since 2013, and it has been my constant supplemental teaching companion ever since. I have used it for teaching adult foundation literacy to CLB 9. It is a must-have resource for multi-level stage 1 and 2 classes. I love the breadth it has!"
ElliiCon2022 Attendee

ElliiCon2022 Attendee
"The video content has been really helpful. The students love to listen to native speakers—this helps them to practice their listening skills."
Marcia
"I subscribe out of my own pocket, even though we have free resources such as Burlington English. The reasons for this is superior presentation, the offering of both PDF and digital tasks for my hybrid classes, and the ability to give written and spoken feedback to my students. They appreciate the opportunity to speak and record."
Diane
"I have relied upon Ellii and it’s predecessor for years and will continue using it when I need materials for supply teaching."
June
"I can only say that it is the best investment I have done. At a reasonable price to find a variety of lessons, activities, flashcards, and everything a teacher needs with excellent quality and students love and enjoy."
Marta

"I really love using Ellii, and I’m a big fan of the company. I can see that you guys think about everything very carefully and you really listen to what we have to say and ask for. I admire Ben Buckwold, and I hope to be also able to build something to help teachers in my country (Brazil). I’m pretty sure my life would be way harder without your work. Thanks a lot!"

"Thanks so much for the resources and support you give to ELL instructors! You are a very special organization and so proud of the Canadian roots."
"Ellii is an important part of my job as an English teacher. The content is always very updated! I still find it funny when I remember how surprised my student was when I brought to class the lesson about Will Smith at the Oscars just a couple of days after the event. Not to mention the interactivity of the platform. If offers a great experience in each class I give! I can't thank you enough!"
Juliana
"I love that I can find a pre-made lesson on just about any topic imaginable on the spur of the moment."
Barbara
"I do love Ellii. I've been using it since 2014. I used to teach adult CLB 1–4 and now I work in a K–12 school with 100+ EAL students of varying language levels. So, I've seen a lot of different things! I use Ellii most days. Right now, we're going through the Detective Series with high school students and they're really enjoying it."
Heather
"Amazing site for ESL professionals. Well-organized, well-designed lessons, generous, genuinely helping busy teachers to deliver quality lessons. Very grateful to subscribe to this informative and useful site. Wishing you a great success!"
Grace S.
"It’s nice to have pick-and-choose activities for your students. I use Ellii in place of a grammar textbook. I love having digital homework assignments that are mostly self-graded. And the charts and explanations that come with grammar lessons are simple, easy to follow, and have great everyday English uses."
Sheena
"The students love Fridays because we do the Detective Series that day. Also appreciate the clear font, layout, and graphics, which are helpful for our older and visually challenged students."
Paula
"Overall, a really great resource. The worksheets are very clear and always correct grammatically. The blog posts on tricky language points are very useful to read pre-teaching (helps to answer those difficult questions!)."
Fiona
"After decades of teaching ESL, I must say Ellii (formerly ESL Library) is the best resource out there! Thank you very much for creating such a quality real-world offering!"

Bárbara
"Ellii has changed my teaching life since I became a subscriber. It has made them more dynamic, organized, and refined. I may say. It has enriched my classes and, therefore, the value of the work I do, which is amazing. I wouldn't change it for any other thing at the moment. The grammar and reading lessons, specifically, are perfect! They work super well in classes and my students enjoy them a lot. Thanks for the great content! Hugs from Brazil."
Eric
"Ellii doesn't only save me time, but it gives me creativity! I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking that using ready-to-go materials would make my classes look "amateur." But, in fact, it has made my classes even better. My students LOVE the platform, and they have been improving way better and faster."
Maria V.

"It’s the perfect addition to my teaching tools at a technical vocational college. My students find it motivating to work on current topics and news as well as on science-related materials. Thanks!"
Maria
"I don’t know what I would do without Ellii! I get all the material for my online lessons from your classes! I love, for example, that the discussion topics are up to date and very relevant to today's society. In terms of the grammatical material, I love that they cover all the little details that are important when teaching all the different topics, and I absolutely love the “task assignment” features—they are great for giving feedback and seeing whether they did the homework. I hope to continue using their content for many years to come!"
Romi
"I love what Ellii offers. I often use its lessons, which are always well set out, any grammar points are explained clearly and simply, and I love the content of the topical lessons. Bravo!"
Susanni
"Ellii was a game changer to my classes. As a private English teacher, I can use Ellii with students all over the world and track their scores and improvement through the platform. We can discuss the lesson in class by screen-sharing and then students can complement their studies with the assignments on the platform. Ellii has added a very important status to my classes, a professional one. I am really thankful for this platform."
Patricia
"I love your site. I tutor advanced students on Zoom and teach at a community college now. I have low-intermediate students, but I switch levels depending on the school's needs, so I love all of the different levels of materials that you offer."
Cherie
"Ellii made my routine and schedule much more flexible and easy to follow through. I would spend hours searching for material and preparing classes, but nowadays I just choose the ideal lessons and preview them before classes. Thank you!"
