Thank you for taking the time to visit this site. It has been an incredible journey to have the opportunity to see hundreds of thousands of lives change through the process of Expressways To Learning®. I will never forget the day that I met Dr. “Jack” Hoes, author or ETL. It was a crisp, November day in Texas, 1987. Jack demonstrated this unique process and shared his belief that those who could not read the Bible would only be at the mercy of what someone else told them. Therefore, he dedicated his life to the process of developing a system that would equip children and adults to independently read, process information, and prove what they know in a regular classroom setting or work environment. Most of our students are above average or gifted, and “Learn Differently.” After using ETL for about a year, I had the opportunity to meet Helen Irlen in Long Beach, CA. The Irlen method, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, is another tool that ETL-Tennessee uses to assist children and adults. ETL, Inc. and the Irlen Institute are two distinct companies and utilize various educational tools. They are in no way directly related. However, ETL-Tennessee offers both Expressways To Learning® Systems as well as the Irlen method. We appreciate the opportunity to help enhance your quality of life.
