I am a long time ESL teacher and KS2/KS3 tutor. I create professional handouts and activities which do not require any alteration, simply print and copy. I make my resources user-friendly, meaning they are easy for pupils to understand, effective at teaching the target skill and entertaining for pupils to use. Where colour is used, the worksheets generally can successfully be printed in black and white unless otherwise stated.
