Testimonials
I’ve worked with Eloise on several digital projects. One of those was content creation for a very popular, low-level English language MOOC for Arabic speakers which I was managing. Apart from quickly getting to grips with the potential of the new software we were using, Eloise was always timely in what she did, and very easy to work with – as she was in the other projects we worked on.
I commissioned Eloise to write a pre-primary and primary series for ELL in China. She was highly creative in developing engaging material which followed a syllabus and was able to create appealing stories for the narrative components of the projects. Eloise was able grasp the project briefs quickly due to her broad experience writing for young learners, and her work was always completed to schedule. On a personal note, Eloise is a pleasure to deal with, and her personal and professional experience were excellent additions to these projects.
I have had the privilege of working with Eloise on various ELT and ESL projects, both in Mexico and the United States. Eloise is a very creative person, very professional, and very committed to every project in which she gets involved. The quality of her work is excellent, and her deliveries are always timely. In addition, Eloise is a great person, with a diverse cultural background that contributes in a very positive way to the content she develops.
Why it’s important to have a specialist on board!
Not just anyone can write a coursebook. A specialist will save you time, money and tears (!) as you can be sure of a quality product from the beginning with the minimum of fuss.
After many years of experience teaching children, and battling with course books, I know what works and what doesn’t with YLs. I am skilled at writing creative and fun materials and I specialise in CLIL, so I can write engaging content for language learners, or primary-level content for learners in bilingual schools. I can help you with the writing of most components of a successful coursebook including students’ books, teacher’s guides, activity books, phonics materials, readers, online practice materials and practice exams.
