Behind the resources

From the classroom.
For your next lesson.

I’m Leslie Boom, the teacher behind Mr Boom’s English Lab. Teaching English in Spain and preparing students for Cambridge exams shows me where learners get stuck—and what they need to practise.

That classroom perspective shapes the resources here: practical materials for teachers, tutors and learners, with advice and practice alongside the tasks.
