Ready to stop piecing together ESL lessons from scratch?

I help ESL teachers save time with leveled lessons.

Your students are at all different levels—

Some just arrived, others are nearly fluent.
You're expected to teach reading, writing, speaking, grammar, and test prep…
with zero curriculum and not enough time.

It doesn’t have to be this hard.

It’s time to simplify, differentiate, and finally feel supported.

Hi, I’m Monica Lopez

I help ESL teachers simplify planning with leveled, done-for-you lessons.

I started teaching ESL over 20 years ago—before there were Pinterest boards, Facebook groups, or TpT. Back then, I had to create everything from scratch while trying to meet the needs of students who spoke little to no English. It was overwhelming, lonely, and exhausting.

But over time, I found my rhythm. I figured out how to scaffold lessons that worked for all levels, and I saw my students thrive—not just in language, but in confidence. That changed everything for me.

Now, I share what I’ve learned with other ESL teachers—because you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you’re brand new or deep in the trenches, I’m here to help you feel supported, seen, and equipped.

Real Teachers. Real Results

  • I would recommend this [ESL Teacher Membership] to teachers who have multi-proficiency students in their classes. It take less planning time and allows for small group instructions.

  • The activities are rigorous to prepare them for state testing and are vital for language development. The students were all engaged and on task when working with each other. A teacher cannot ask for more!

    Alejandra C., Teacher of ESL Students

  • I used these [ESL Reading Bell Ringers] to differentiate with my ESL students. We have multiple grades in one group and it was so nice to use them in one big group. Same content, just different levels and no one knew the difference.
