About Enlightened English

One thing has consistently bothered me in my years teaching English: Generic reading passages, useless grammar drills, and dry discussion questions.

There are sites with thousands of lessons, but how many actually teach something worth knowing? Why learn English with uninteresting content that is not generally applicable in the real world?

Many adults don’t want articles that treat them like children; they want content that actually stimulates them.

When I finally began creating content that actually engages minds, my students came alive. They weren’t just learning English anymore—they were learning something worth knowing in English.

The purpose of Enlightened English is to help you learn English through content you’d want to consume even in your native language.

Whether you’re advancing your career, preparing to study abroad, or seeking self-improvement and spiritual growth, there’s something here for you.

You’ll find consistent content on mindfulness, psychology, decision-making, economics, current events, and more—intelligent English for curious minds, not just simplified news articles.

The materials are all organized by level—intermediate to advanced. Each lesson is structured according to the CEFR framework and clearly marked, providing content that accurately challenges you.

Behind it all, I’m Tyler, the teacher and creator of Enlightened English. With nearly a decade of English teaching experience, a legal education, and years of mindfulness practice and training, I’m here to help you improve your English and your mind.

Here’s to an improved English learning experience for you.
