Language Pacifica Teachers Since the school’s founding by two teachers in 1979, Language Pacifica has always recognized the key importance of its instructors. Every member of Language Pacifica’s faculty is a native speaker of American English. All of our teachers graduated from an American university and many have advance degrees, including certification in TESOL. In addition to outstanding educational backgrounds, a number of our instructors lived and taught English abroad. The San Francisco-Silicon Valley region of Northern California enjoys a rich tradition of educational opportunities. Language Pacifica and its students benefit due to the availability of high quality teaching professionals. As important as the programs our teachers have completed, Language Pacifica places equal emphasis on compassion and respect for our students. As Helen Keller stated so eloquently, “The highest results of education is tolerance.” Language Pacifica and its esteemed teachers exemplify that belief.
