ESL Teacher Sheila Davis

My daughter, Olivia, won 1st place at CIF Masters for wrestling. Next we go to the State Championships.

Students, enjoy the time off. Our school is closed for two weeks. We resume class on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. Remember that Level 5 and above students can SELF-register for a limited time.

My team at ECC campus surprised me by decorating my office and leaving flowers on my desk. Has anyone at work done something nice for you lately?

I love it when I run into my old English students. Today I saw Haitham (Haytham?) in the El Cajon DMV.

This was my view on the return flight from Texas. Which seat do you prefer when you fly - aisle seat, middle seat, or window seat?

My online Vocational ESL class ends tomorrow. More students have earned certificates of completion. Students reported that practicing job interview questions helped them during their own job interviews. I am so happy when my students reach their goals.

Another student picks up her VESL certificate, but she earned a PROGRAM completion. This means she completed both 9 week courses of VESL. Congrats to Renuka!

Another VESL student earned a certificate of completion!

Congrats to my student, Patricio, for earning a course completion certificate.
