# SimpsonESL

> SimpsonESL is a web app that gives preschool ESL teachers a complete, ready-to-teach school year for ages 3–6: printable flashcards, tests, three worksheets per lesson, downloadable PowerPoint lesson packs, and illustrated "Big Picture" classroom scenes — all generated in one click.

## Who made this

SimpsonESL's curriculum is written by Chris Simpson, an ESL teacher with close to 10 years of classroom experience across public schools, private schools, and English centers. The lessons, worksheets, and teaching methods (including the "Big Picture" method) are not AI-generated — they are designed by a human teacher and tested with real preschool-age students, then refined based on classroom results. Software is used to generate and format the printable materials, but the pedagogy, sequencing, and content decisions come from direct teaching experience, not an AI model.
