Meet the Author

Hello and welcome! I’m Kristen Vibas (Vee-bus) and I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been an ESOL teacher since 2005, and began creating and posting educational resources online in 2012. I got bit by the blogging bug in 2015 and hopped on the social media train about the same time. Soon after, I found that I loved nothing more than connecting with my fellow ELL teacher community; and because of that, this website was born. 💕
