Hello Students,

My name is Hali Burley. I was born in San Francisco, CA and attended San Francisco State University (BA, Drama) and Oregon State University (MA, Education). I have been teaching English for more than 20 years; my specialty is reading and writing. I have lived and worked in several states including Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Oregon.

I started my teaching career in English as a Second Language. I have a graduate certificate in TESOL from OSU and also, I teach ESL at the local college, here in Eugene. I love working with international students. My other passion is teaching reading and writing. I can help you (or your children) become better readers and improve your grades. I have worked with everyone from second graders to senior citizens - I believe in lifelong learning!

Test preparation and study skills are two of my other favorite subjects to teach; my motto is 'study smarter, not harder!' I've helped students improve their scores on the TOEFL, the IELTS, and the SAT.

In my free time, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and bicycling. I have a small vegetable and flower garden where I like to work outside until it gets dark. I am lucky to live in beautiful Eugene, Oregon. I hope to meet you soon and work with you to improve your academic skills.

Thank you for reading my profile.
Talk to you soon!

I have over 20 years of experience teaching English. Tell me what you need to learn and I will help you accomplish your goals.

ESL/ESOL

I have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for over 20 years. I have taught students as young as 10 years old and as old as 80 years old. Also, I have a graduate certificate in TESOL from Oregon State University. Currently I am an ESL instructor at the college in my town, Lane Community College. I have been an ESL instructor at that school since 2004. I look forward to helping new students improve their English skills.

I currently teach English Grammar at the college in my town, Lane Community College.

I can help you sound more professional in your written work and also improve your grammar knowledge. Let's work together to improve your basic knowledge of English Grammar.

I have coached students in the specific Writing techniques necessary to pass the SAT writing test. The test requires a student to be able to write a 5 paragraph essay in 30 minutes or less. I can help new students learn how to plan, organize, and write a great essay in very little time. I look forward to working with new students to improve your SAT Writing skills.

Reading a newspaper every day is one of the best ways to build your vocabulary. My other suggestion is flashcards. They really help you remember what you study.
