Preparing for TOEIC, SLE, IELTS, CanTEST, GCT, CELPIP or other assessment?
After an initial assessment, I tailor the plan to match your ability and the structure of the test. Each week will focus on a different section of the test, related vocabulary, grammar and focused language practice.
I follow a structured teaching method that includes hands on practice using authentic test materials and additional resources. Purchase of texts are optional and review materials will be provided to help you practice between classes.

Mentorship sessions for ESL, FSL or other second-language teachers. Each session will address the strategies you are presently using, suggestions to build upon these foundations, current research on best practices for language development and additional methods. Ready to use materials are provided.
My experience teaching ESL in three different countries and with a wide range of students has helped me to develop a large tool kit of engaging strategies and methods. Gone are the days of text book language learning. From PWIM to TPR, methods need to engage students so that language can be imprinted in their angular gyrus, Wernicke's area and Broca's area of the brain.

Leeann Downes est une très bonne professeure d'anglais. Nous voulions apprendre et pratiquer l'anglais tout en s'amusant et c'est ce qui s'est passé. Les exercices sont simples, pratiques et fun et la prof a une belle énergie et maîtrise bien ce qu'elle enseigne, le tout dans la bonne humeur tout en étant relax. J'ai beaucoup aimé le cours que j'ai eu et mon mari ainsi que mon père l'on apprécié tout autant que moi, tellement que nous voulons prendre d'autres cours. Je recommande cette professeure à tous ceux qui veulent apprendre l'anglais tout en passant un bon moment.ER, Montreal

Why learn English? Just after Mandarin and Spanish, English is the third most common native language in the world and it is definitely the most learned second language. English is today's world's lingua franca. Many occupations and professions require at least working knowledge of the language, as it has become the most widely used language in international publications, international trade, telecommunications, entertainment and diplomacy.
How hard is it to learn English compared to other languages? It depends, of course, on the languages you speak already. The most difficult aspects of learning English are the vast vocabulary, the differences between spelling and pronunciation, the subtleties of grammar and the different ways it is used around the world.

Ottawa is not only Canada's capital but also a center of intense cultural life, including the country's most important museums and the largest festivals. Additionally, with two main universities, University of Ottawa and Carleton University, Ottawa's population is among the most educated in Canada.
Ottawa is Canada's largest bilingual city where both French and English are co-official languages. Although English and French are the most used languages, many thousands of immigrants speak other languages at home, including, most importantly, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese.
