“I have learned many things at EnglishWorks in the year since I joined, first as a volunteer and now as an online teacher.

For me the most important thing ishow online learning can be a powerful democratizing force and can bring people from around the world together to extend a helping hand to those who need it.

What draws those helpers together is a belief that all people, poor as much as the rich, deserve to have access to education and the toolsthat can make learning possible.”

– Roger Gillespie
