Lisa Braley received her B.A. degree in Advertising from San Jose State University (SJSU) in 1990. After ten years in marketing, living in Hong Kong for 3 of those, she traveled for 8 months to Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and India in 2000.
Upon her return, Lisa began learning about teaching ESL and has taught beginning to advanced English learners at Fremont Adult School (http://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/16822094163447560/site/default.asp) in Fremont, CA since Sept. 2002. She completed her requirements for an MA TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from SJSU in December of 2007. In 2008, she also started working with English By The Hour as an Accent Reduction Specialist doing 1:1 private coaching.
Lisa has always enjoyed reading, writing, traveling, and learning about culture and languages. She has formally studied Spanish, French, German, and most recently, two years of the Persian language. Informally, she has studied many more.
She is passionate about helping her ESL students and Accent Reduction clients (www.englishbythehour.com)improve their lives, as well as their English, but also believes that immigrants have something valuable to share and give back to their new communities, as well as their home country society.
