NEW THIS WEEK!!
Saturday classes begin, finally! We welcome Professor Lydia Kaplan, who
is teaching the Saturday morning course. She has a rich background with
much teaching experience, and a very convivial style.

We also welcome to our teaching staff Professor William Pickett, who
just began leading the beginning level course Monday & Wednesday at
10:00. Prof. Pickett is the author of several text-books for ESL,
including the Pizza Tastes Great. He's currently working on a new text.
We're fortunate to have such a superb level of instructors in our
program, both new and "veteran"!
