and follow my vision!
I first dreamed of this right before COVID, but I got online jobs that paid well. That was good but it didn't leave me time to pursue the dream of working with English Learners in my own business.
I needed to stop wasting time and do what I was supposed to do.
And also to do it the right way. The way to get the best results for students. I have learned what works best in 25 years of teaching and coaching English learners.

Jeff Tomes has been my friend for 35 years. He has a heart and a passion for teaching English to English Language Learners. He attained a master’s degree in ESL to better serve the immigrant community. Jeff has taught immigrant children in the public school classroom, as well as adult ESL students in the college classroom. Now Jeff is launching this new venture to help Spanish speakers advance in their careers by becoming proficient in English. Take advantage of this important opportunity. - Gene
My name is Santiago Herlein and Jeff Tomes worked with me to start a Spanish church in 1997 in the U.S. We worked together for around 10 years. He taught English classes as a way of reaching out while I shared the gospel with the Spanish people. Jeff is really capable, responsive and a good person, so I recommend him 100 percent. - Santiago

Mr. Jeff was very kind and patient with Alanah. He took the time to get to know her and where she was in her reading/math. Even though she is behind, he did not make her feel insecure or badly for struggling.

Instilled confidence.

A. It's highly productized
Automated sales - no sales calls
Built-in lead magnet - free trial
Scalable delivery - no swapping time for money.
You can absorb a volume of clients.
B. It's easy to sell. A low ticket membership is easy for your market to say 'yes' to. That means you can validate an idea fast and improve on the product with feedback. That as opposed to having scarce and sparse high-ticket clients and never building traction.
C. The membership itself works as the best marketing tool for a high-ticket program. Clients flow up, and laterally.
D. It is an absolutely wasted opportunity not to develop a low-ticket product in a market of billions of learners such as the language learning market. Billions! It's a vast market and having a successful 3 dollar product can make you rich.

Here's how I got here...
I was a public speaker for about 15 years before falling in love with teaching English as a Second Language. I had taught ESL as a volunteer for a pastor who was starting Spanish language church in Nashville, TN.
Not long afterward, I enrolled in college and got a master's degree in teaching ELLs. Then I taught in the school system for over 13 years. Since semi-retiring a few years ago, I have taught in classrooms and online to all ages of students, from 5 years to 75 years old.
My wife, Rebecca, who is still teaching in school, joins me part-time now but on a bigger scale after she retires in a couple of years. She fell in love with teaching ELLs also and went back to get her ESL teachers masters.
We really enjoy working with ELLs, whether it be as coach, teacher, or advocate.
We will work to:
Raise proficiency levels in your English skill
Develop a powerful network or community where you can learn with your peers
Give you confidence in your English skills. Perfection is not the goal! No one is perfect--not even native speakers. Confidence is the key!
