“If you’re looking for ESL resources for writing, Frank’s materials make an excellent choice. Each aspect of writing is broken down into manageable modules that students can follow at their own pace. Frank is highly knowledgeable in his field and his passion for his subject comes across in his engaging lectures. I used his Academic Writing Course to teach advanced ESL College students, and found this to be a great choice.”
