This is the freshest of grammar refresher courses. The gentle, quirky sense of humour pulls you in and makes you feel comfortable, like you're chilling at home with friends. The engaging and slightly twee creative approach grabs and holds your attention and keeps you wondering what might be coming up next. The pace is just right and the sequencing of concepts gently builds that scaffolding you need as a learner teacher, or is that a teacher learner? Like with all animals in performance and presentation, Pronoun and Prefix sometimes threaten to steal the show, and not only because of their names but the endearing antics they get up to! Bring on those phrasal verbs!

Great Grammar Starter

Alison Middleton

I’m using this as a little prep for the CELTA and it is introducing me to things I hadn’t even thought about. Love the way it is set up with the same characters. Good job ELT campus! - UK

A work of Art

At first I had the same urge to fidget as I did with Grammar books. That dread. "Let´s get this over and done with." The contrary. The illustration of Neil adds Humour. The explanations are concise. The quizzes...no longer a process of deduction. ...
