Hi, I’m Monica Lopez—an ESL teacher, curriculum designer, and former English learner.

I started school in the U.S. with zero English. My family moved back and forth between Mexico and the States when I was young, and every time I returned, I felt behind—like I had missed too much. I know exactly how it feels to sit in class trying to keep up while also learning the language.

That experience shaped everything.

Now, with 18+ years in education, I’ve taught hundreds of English language learners—and created resources to help ESL teachers reach every student, no matter their proficiency level.

What I Do

I help middle and high school ESL teachers save time and feel confident using differentiated, ready-to-use ESL resources that support real student growth.

Whether you're teaching newcomers or advanced ELLs, I create:

• Reading passages and comprehension activities (by Lexile level and theme)

• Speaking & writing prompts that build language fluency

• Small group lesson plans, stations, and skill builders

• Test prep and ECR writing support for standardized testing

I know your classroom is full of mixed levels and limited time. That’s why every resource is designed to be:

• Flexible (for warm-ups, small groups, or sub plans)

• Level-labeled (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

• Engaging (built with academic success and confidence in mind)

Why I Care

I was once that quiet girl in class—nervous to speak, scared to get it wrong. But with the support of amazing teachers, I found my voice. Now, I want to equip you with the tools to help your students do the same.

My mission is simple: to help English learners thrive—and help the teachers who support them feel less overwhelmed.
