Welcome

When I first started this site I thought it would be a nice way to give out a few resources. There have now been more than 100,000 students taught using these resources from more than 112 countries and there have been some very kind recommendations from as far apart as, Nepal, Tehran, China, Brazil, Argentina, the New York Times publisher, the Japanese JET programme, the BBC and most of all from Google. That said it's still an overgrown hobby that I do after the children have gone to bed to save teachers a little bit of trouble, because none of us get enough free time.
