4. About George Machlan
„ We do not need "them," we only need each other.
This group of pilgrims called "The Edupunk" are seeking a new paradigm for online learning. We hold
to several core principles:
1. All can teach; all should teach
2. Mistakes and willing to risk mistakes are much preferred over the false goal of perfection.
3. Fun activities and gaming are not only more engaging; they are the key to a sustainable model for
learning... anything.
4. Live interaction and group activities create the basis for deep and experiential learning.
5. Accountability and competition are the basis of our community. We build and only associate with
leaders who can recognize that they and every member have knowledge to share”

5. EDU (Education)+ PUNK ( a non-traditional attitude)= EDUPUNK
„Edupunk English is the course offering by George (the author of this blog) at WizIQ
http://www.wiziq.com/myeslfriends an online learning portal. The main goals of this course are:
1. English Fluency
2. Affordable
3. Interesting & fun
4. Friendly
English fluency, particularly in spoken English, has become one of the biggest needs world-wide. At Edupunk
English, we will focus primarily on activities that will challenge and grow your ability to speak comfortably. There
are no secrets in our methods. The more you talk, the better you will become both at speaking clearly and
without effort (fluency). George is not a traditional “teacher," rather he is an accomplished coach and
encourager. A constant focus on technique and practice will produce results that no amount of traditional classes
will give.”

7. When I first met George Machlan in 2010, I knew nothing
about Virtual Classes. He was my brilliant and very patient
mentor on WizIQ.
This was him who taught me how to function online,
moreover I learnt from him almost everything I know about
teaching online.
He is the creator of Edupunk Movement.
George used to give variety of courses and classes on
WizIQ. He was very successful
Here is a link to relevant information about George.

He has been an amazing leading light, teammate,
passionate teacher, creative language coach, and I will
always appreciate George’s encouragement, support as well
as tutoring awareness.
The world is a much better place when you connect with this
remarkable speech instructor.
If you need any help, contact George and problems will be
solved.

The Edupunk English course uses many methods to improve your
fluency. With this “Karaoke English” class we focus on pronunciation
and accents. We will use one of the songs (Curriculum Tab) each
month as a group activity. However you can work independently on
any song (song list HERE ) that you like.
