It's Tutor Tip Tuesday! Have you ever taken your student along Aspen's Storywalk? It's a good way to add some variety to your lessons with your English learner, espeically if they are new to English and haven't walked along lovely Hunter Creek yet. Perfect timing, as we move into the beauty of fall. Don't know how to get there? Visit our friends County Library and they'll show you the way to Dinosaur Kisses!

PS - Kids' books are cute and use simple English good for beginners.
