Thank You TESL Ontario Volunteers!

TESL Ontario volunteers bring you Webinars, TESL Dialogue sessions, the Annual Conference, Mentoring Sessions, the TESL Ontario Blog, the Directory of Best Practices, Social Media content … and so much more!

The highlight of the week was a virtual celebration event featuring renowned mentalist Yan Markson, who performed incredible feats of the mind with and for our audience.
