Tara Benwell 12 Years at EnglishClub
All good things must come to an endSaying
2016 is a new year with new beginnings and sad to say Tara Benwell, for over seven years the mainstay at MyEnglishClub, will be moving on to pastures new as from 1st January.
Tara actually started contributing to EnglishClub way back in 2003, writing materials for the Young Learners section, English for Work and many other pages. In 2006 Tara started writing and recording Listen to News, a popular weekly news story with audio and exercises. Then in 2008 we launched MyEnglishClub as our social network. Tara was the first administrator of MyEnglishClub and has worked hard to help and support its thousands of members. Since 2008 Tara has continued adding new lessons and pages to EnglishClub and helping in the overall running of the site.
Apart from Listen to News, her regular contributions have included Site of the Month, a review of some of the best ESL websites around, the Interesting Facts podcast, and Writing Prompts. She has also supported us by contributing material for our sister site TEFL.net.
I am sorry to see Tara go, and I know that many members of MyEnglishClub will be sad too. Tara has been a wonderful influence in MyEC, and extremely creative in all her regular contributions sitewide. I offer her my warmest thanks for her professional approach and unfailing support over the past twelve years, and wish her the very best in her new future which I am sure will be a great success. No doubt many members will have similar thoughts and may wish to share them on Tara’s Page at MyEnglishClub and her latest Writing Challenge.

Dear Tara! I was not as lucky as my wife to know you better but I’d like to say a few words, too. You have charged the EC with such great positive energy I felt at once. You are a true leader and I wish you all the best whatever you will ever do. But most of all, I’d like to wish you great happiness. So sorry, you are leaving! You have always made our lives brighter!
Very Happy New Year! -

Dear Madam Tara!
As a learner of the EC, I think that I want to show my gratitude to Madam Tara for her service rendered towards the thousands of learners on EC. I, as a nonnative English speaker, have been able to gather a lot of language-based facts from the EC, so people of this caliber are real assets to EC. Yes, she played the main role on the EC although she is not the founder of it. Yes, people move on to better things; so, I would like to wish her a successful future! -

Dear Tara,
You can’t imagine how helpful your activities on English club have been. I have learned so much from you. Thank you very much. When I first surfed on your website I was in a far remote place, in a village, many miles away from Dakar city in Senegal. Just to show you that, you activities reached even the unexpected public. I have never been in an English speaking country but,I can express myself thanks to you and to all your colleagues.I wish all the best for you,

Robbie says:
It’s been always my pleasure working with you for years, Tara! Thank you for everything you’ve done to improve my English language skills especially for your encouragement and appreciation. You inspired me and MyEC in so many crazy ways!
One thing for sure. I’ll never turn my back in learning when you leave EC, rather this would serve as my motivation to continue what I’ve started. I will not say goodbye because I know you’ll come back. But I wish you success in your new endeavors. Good luck!
Robbie ♥

Englishclub.com without Tara Benwell …?! Can’t imagine it! So sorry to see you go, Tara. Thanks for all the help and support when we and our classes joined some years ago. I know Josef was always there, but you just made everything so much smoother to us. May you be blessed in whatever you’ll be involved in now. I guess (and hope!) some of us would still see you around elsewhere!
Josef … I can just try to imagine what you must feel like when losing your right hand girl .. Hope you have some plans in place to continue with this great website.

Farewell Tara!
Although I am not a frequent user of MEC myslef, I have recommended it to many young friends, mainly Indians. Needless to say they have found found MUC very uselful.
If any organisation has to perform well it needs some dedicated and talented people working hard to make it successful. I am sure Tara has been one of them. I can sense EC and its users feeling sad and grateful – a cocktail of emotions – at the same time. I hope Tara has groomed someone to receive the baton and continue her stellar work.
I wish Tara Benwell all the success at her new assignment and hope her links with EC will keep EC going great as ever.
