Tell Me a Story is an online English teaching company featuring skilled, professional American and Canadian teachers.  Our experience and knowledge of children and education have helped us to determine several aspects that are critical to learning.  Our company stands on these principles: Every student is important and special and should be encouraged and praised often. Teaching should be exciting and hold a student’s attention. Lessons should be challenging. Lessons should be relevant to everyday life. Vowels (the sounds of a,e,i,o,u) are the basis of reading and need to be mastered. Children need to read English books daily to practice what they have learned. Students learn English best by listening to native English speakers.
