KATHY MEASURE
For the past twelve years, Kathy has taught ELL at Acalanes Adult Education at the beginning and intermediate levels. After studying Russian, Italian, French, and Spanish at the University of Washington and receiving her degree, she joined the airline industry. Having traveled to nearly 100 countries and with a career as an international marketing and sales manager for Thai Airways, Air India, Icelandic, and Mexicana, she has also translated and written content for foreign hotel groups, travel books, and tour operators. She has written and taught training courses for the airline and tourism industries, her passion for languages, teaching, and worldwide cultures have all contributed to her enthusiasm for teaching ELL. She understands the trepidation that having to learn a second language can cause when having to survive and work in another country.

TERRY PAPADOPOULOS
I love being in school, learning different things, teaching adults, and teaching English! I have a B.A. in English, TESL certification, and an M.A. in TESL. I started teaching high school English but transitioned to teaching adult ELLs about 12 years ago. I live in Orinda with mom, my middle sister and her husband, and our dog Olive (a Yorkshire Terrier). I enjoy watching British TV shows, international detective series, The Amazing Race, and most everything on PBS. In my free time, I like to read, travel, and surf the internet. I look forward to working with all of you and helping you improve your English!
