Co-founder Peter Laszlo's Message



Dear colleagues!

We like to be independent - we don't take government or corporate subsidies. This is why donations really matter. We are asking you now to make a small donation, like the price of a coffee - or 3 dollars. Your help - no matter the amount - makes a huge difference!

As every year, we will use the incoming proceeds to maintain and continuously improve the site. And we will do so with stunning efficiency that is comparable to that of Wikipedia. The majority of our expenditure is comprised of staff salaries and internet bills:

Technology:
Maintenance, data backup, servers, bandwidth, development, search engine optimization. We serve between 100-150,000 teachers every day so we have to maintain a powerful and reliable back-end infrastructure.

People:
7 iSLCollective staff members and various outside service providers make sure that every aspect of the technological and administrative side of the operations is covered professionally.
​
Donating is loving, so please show your love by making a donation - whatever you can afford - to keep iSLCollective alive and strong in 2019.
​
Bless up,

Peter Laszlo
iSLCollective Co-founder

P.S.
As a special thank you, we will remove all ads from the site for one year following your donation.

    iSLCOLLECTIVE helps me almost every week - either as an inspiration for my own lessons or as the source of much needed exercises for revision/topics for discussion etc. Therefore I decided to donate without any hesitation.
  • MIRNAMORA MIRNAMORA
    "I chose to be a sponsor, because when I was searching very good materials for my students, I found many high quality different worksheets. These are categorized and colourful worksheets. Then, it is easy to find them and funny to work with my students. And the collaboration is accessible for our economies in South America. That's why you should also consider becoming a sponsor."

    ISLCollective has helped me a lot. When I run out of imagination, of time or simply when I'm busy, I can always browse the website for worksheets and lessons for my students. I am really thankful for the time and effort everyone puts into providing this content.
  • "I became a sponsor to show my appreciation for the uploading teachers and staff of iSLCollective. I find many relevant and useful handouts that my students enjoy using in class. Thank you, everyone."
  • kifissia kifissia
    "I sponsor iSLCOLLECTIVE because it literally changed my life. At first it was a source of fantastic materials for my students for reinforcement, test review, and fun. Later on I felt challenged by the creativity of the contributors and tried my hand at creating worksheets myself. I was able to unleash my unknown creative powers through worksheet and power point creations. It was through tutorials posted by other members and communication with them that I slowly learned how to make materials. iSL is also a community of teachers worldwide and we often exchange our thoughts and well wishes. In addition the site continually evolves and I believe is the best and most attractive source of teaching materials on the web."
  • "Unfortunately I don't teach anymore but I was so greatful for all those beautiful different sorts worksheets. And I think everybody should consider sponsoring because, let's face it, nothing is for free. There are big charges just for running your website and if not us, who else should participate on paying. Thank you""
  • "ISLCollective is my primary resource for preparing my lessons. There are so many fantastic teachers and I learn so much from them! I think it helps me be a better teacher. I chose to be a Sponsor because I think it is the best site world-wide. I want to see the site florish and grow. I would recommend that everyone become a supporting member, to help protect our site and to give the wonderful founder and his crew the finances to follow their dream. The site helps us all so much. Please consider it... these guys deserve our help ! :) "
  • "As a teacher, I have felt sooo Supported by using ISLCollective material in my English lessons, that I decided to become a supporting member. Let' s contribute so that we can continue helping each other!!"
  • "Just think: most of you are teachers or people who get a benefit from ISL Collective. You would probably ask your students the same thing: do the right thing! And we will be doing the right thing if we recognise the effort of those who make available this amazing collection of activities. they save us time and work. Isn't that worth anything? Would you work for free? Your help makes a whole lotta difference! Thanks!!"
  • "ISLCollective has been an asset in getting teaching materials for my private school here in Mexico. Consider iSLCollective and give them an opportunity to keep up the good work. Benoit Simard"

Our accomplishments in 2018


1) We launched a new Teaching jobs platform as part of our service for you.

2) We rewrote the code of the Worksheet download pages so now they load much faster. Have you noticed?

3) We tweaked the search results generation logic a bit on worksheet pages. Formerly, you had to select an item from the search filter, then you had to click on the magnifier icon to generate results. You no longer have to click on the magnifier icon, as the results will be generated instantly after you select an item from a search filter.

4) We introduced a Fix for Broken Videos: Sometimes videos are removed from Youtube, either by Youtube itself - on copyright grounds - or by the uploader. Then the video will become “broken” (unavailable) on Youtube, and in turn, as a logical consequence, on iSLCollective, as well.

5) We made it possible to assign Video Quizzes as homework.

6) We added two new task types in video quizzes.

7) We refreshed the design of video quizzes.

8) We added new servers for the site to run smoothly even when the site is seeing 150 thousand visits per day.

9) We provided technical support for our users throughout the year.

FAQ


Q: How does paying work?


You can choose to select a monthly amount to pay every month or you can make a one-time payment. We are happiest for recurring payments, which means you authorize us to automatically charge your Paypal account or bank card every month - until you cancel it. So if you're thinking about whether to pay 15 euros once, or 3-5 euros every month, please choose a smaller, but monthly amount. Of course, we are immensely grateful for one-time payments, as well!

In either case, technically you pay in your national currency, and our bank will exchange it. The currencies indicated in the payment box are there to give you a better idea of how much you are going to pay.

We are glad to answer any questions at info [at] islcollective [dot] com.



Q: I am considering paying a small amount every month. How does this work?


Paying every month (monthly recurring payment)

If you select "PAY MONTHLY" in the pay box above, it means that you are going to make a payment every month, and with your authorization this amount will be debited (=charged) by iSLCollective automatically on the monthly anniversary of the first payment, until of course, you stop your payments.

You can easily stop your automatic monthly payments by going to the History/support sub menu in your MyPage (click on your avatar in the top right corner). There you will find a link that takes you directly to the page on PayPal.com where you can stop the payments. In case of CCBill (our bank card payment processor), you just have to reply to the payment confirmation email they have sent you, and they will cancel your recurring payment within a few hours.

Recurring payment works both with PayPal and your bank card. Your account will be upgraded to "iSLCollectve Sponsor" right after successful payment.



Q: I'd like to pay 15 dollars, but only once. Can I do that, too?


Paying just once

Sure. If you select "PAY ONCE" in the pay box above, you will be charged your selected amount only once. Your account will be upgraded to "iSLCollective Sponsor" immediately after successful payment.



Q: What payment methods can I choose from?


1. PayPal

In case of using Paypal, the actual payment takes place on PayPal's secure site. If you create a PayPal account, in most countries you can also pay with your debit or credit card.

Experiencing problems when trying with PayPal? Contact us at info [at] islcollective [dot] com, or try the next option.

2. Bank Card

You can also pay securely with your debit or credit card on CCbill.com, the site of our international payment gateway partner. We have chosen CCBill because it is well-known and trustworthy provider for processing electronic payments.

Experiencing problems when trying to donate with your bank card? You can try using your bank card with PayPal, too. For many people it works, as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at info [at] islcollective [dot] com.




Q: I need the invoice after my payment made out in the name of my school/company. Where can I give you the invoice details?


1. In case of Paypal payments

As a default, you will be issued an invoice using the name and address you provided in your PayPal account. If you would like us to make out the invoice to a different name and address, you can request that on the next page before you get to Paypa's page to finish the payment.

2. In case of debit/credit card payments

As a default, you will be issued an invoice using the name and address you provide on our payment form (Step 1 of payment: "Confirming your order").

Hi I am happy to pay once but before I type confirmation, I saw the message on top e.g. "US20 for 30 days" and I am confused.
Does it mean even I would like to pay US20 once, you will charge US20 x 30days? Kindly clarify. Thank you.

Hello,
thank you for your website- I love it!
I would like to also donate some small amount but is it possible to get a "normal" bank account number where I can send money from my account without giving you my card number? I don't have a PayPal account so it would be easier for me just to send money on your account.
Thank you in advance!
