Sharon is an excellent ESL (English as a second language) teacher. I take online English lessons for 60 minutes once a week.

Her approach is to work on quick fixes and to give immediate feedback so I can incorporate that learning immediately in my daily life. In addition to helping with daily conversation, she has expertise in resume/LinkedIn profile review and job interview preparation.

Sharon is a great teacher. She is very nice and patient. I had been taking English lesson with her over a year when I moved to other place, so I had to say goodbye to her.

Now even my friends can recognize that my pronunciation or English skills are much better than before. I am so grateful to Sharon. I recommend her to anyone who wants to improve English. She is not only a teacher, she is a friend also. read more

I have been a student in Sharon's English class for 8 months and love her sessions every time. I was looking for an English tutor to fit my needs of English learning/improvement. Sharon is a great teacher and gave me suggestions on my English reading and listening in the first class. Next, during our sessions every time, she mentors me including daily conversations, news, and reviewing homework by correcting the sentences applied from the words/idioms that I learned in our previous class. From our weekly meeting, she progressively helps me improve my pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and my comprehension in English grows a lot. Not only she is an excellent English teacher, Sharon also provided professional business setting coaching with resume editing and interview training to me. She always makes sure we put the right words and expressions on job applications. I also received a good offer as a result of our tutoring preparation and practice. I would be happy to recommend Sharon to anyone who wants to learn English in a motivating and successful way! read more

I reached out to Sharon in hopes of gaining more confidence with writing, and improving my understanding of grammar and punctuation. After a few sessions, I'm proud to report that I feel more comfortable and confident with written communication. During our sessions, Sharon reviews my writing samples and provides helpful feedback to make my message more effective and impactful. She also patiently addresses any punctuation questions that I may have. What I love most about working with Sharon is that she is approachable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the intricacies of the English language. I've enjoyed working with Sharon to improve my writing skills. read more

I have worked with Sharon for months. She is no doubt the best tutor for Business English and English speaking!! And since she has more than 20 years' experience in the industry as a human resources manager, she knows what recruiters really like to see and what they like to hear. And many of her students are working people. She helped me a lot in preparing my resume and for my interviews. She also helped me build my confidence in English speaking. During each session, we talked about interesting issues and she would help correct grammar or other errors at the same time. She is also insightful and has energy and humor. I enjoyed talking to her every time. I worked with some other tutors but I dropped them after I took two sessions with Sharon. read more

I am a Civil Engineer who worked in San Mateo for two years. There were many difficulties when I communicated with clients due to my accent and grammar. I realized that I had to improve my English skills and then I found Sharon on Yelp. After explaining my circumstances to her, Sharon customized my English class to improve my speaking and grammar. She also recommended some radio stations and news websites to me. I followed her suggestions and kept having at least one class every week. With her help, I could speak with my clients fluently in English after a while. After one year, I could communicate with my clients without problems and all my colleagues were shocked because of my English improvement. She taught me that English learning isn't hard as long as I can stick with it and I followed what she told me. In comparison with my English skills before having classes, I could tell how much progress I made. After two year's classes, learning English has been my hobby and I will continue it even when I come back to China. read more

Sharon is one of the best communication coaches that I have worked with. I'm in the high-tech industry and needed guidance to make my internal and external communications including my job interview responses more effective with fewer words and to the point. She designed a program for me to help me achieve this goal. The program included weekly dialogue, role plays, and writing of business communications. We worked together for several months and continue to do so as needed. Sharon's expertise in the English language, grammar, and communication is the best. She is also professional, kind and wants the best outcome possible for her students. Thank you, Sharon! read more

I am so grateful and deeply indebted to Sharon. Sharon's classes helped me to improve my English skills and prepared for job interview. Her work is truly customized - she focuses on helping you with your certain goal, and varies different exercises in order for sessions to be more effective. She is professional teacher, intelligent person with sense of humor. Her classes were interesting and extremely helpful for me. read more

I have been taking Sharon's class for almost one year. She is a great teacher and also a good friend to me. At our first class, she gave me some good recommendation on podcasts and news apps, which I can get enough good inputs from. During the class, she always points out my grammar error or inappropriate expressions through our conversation and helps me correct it by myself. Also, she teaches me a lot of idioms and useful English expressions which I can use to describe something natively. She is also warm-hearted and friendly. She helped me draft some important emails or essays and are always glad to answer my questions! Now, I have been used to listening to some podcasts or reading some daily news every day. Great thanks to Sharon! read more

I spent 3 months to stay with Sharon and she was definitely an excellent teacher! Students need to prepare before the class, so it would train your skills comprehensive. Though the class duration is only an hour, she is patient and never waste time. Recommend if anyone wants to improve English. read more

It has been a year that I meet Sharon for English sessions. Sharon is a great teacher and she really helped me to improve my vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, but she is much more than an English teacher. In the last couple of months, I used her services for my job seeking process. Sharon helped me write my resume and LinkedIn profile with great insights related to language, style, and business culture. I was very impressed with her proficiency in recruiting processes and the local business culture in the different companies. I am not a "coaching/mentoring" fan, but I can't ignore the fact that I ended up finding the perfect position for me, thanks to her guidance. Besides her uncompromising support with writing my resume/LinkedIn and STAR stories for interviews, she really mentored me throughout this process with her practical encouragement and some great tips from her experience. One of the things that I mostly like about the process, is that unlike other services, she didn't just write the resume for me. Instead, she helped me leveraging my own words and phrasing and improved them towards the final version. She insisted on understanding exactly what I try to say, even-though it included mostly technical terms, and made sure we put it in the right words. It is probably more frustrating and a longer process, but I felt much more comfortable to apply with resume that I feel accountable for. Above all, Sharon is a great person to chat with, which I find as the most important thing when you want to improve your English. She has some interesting perspective about things and she is patient to listen and correct you gently so you will feel confident but still improve your way of speaking read more

Sharon is a good teacher and I really enjoyed our lessons. We mostly focused on my speaking skills, I wanted to learn more idioms and phrases that people so often use in the US. Well it's not as easy as I thought to speak like a native ^)) but Sharon helped me a lot! She listened to me very patiently, paid attention to all my weird questions, always took notes about my mistakes, so we could discuss them later (which I found extremely helpful, because nobody corrects you in real life). So good luck guys, be patient, take lessons with Sharon and she will find an individual way for you! read more

Sharon Gloster is an amazing coach to work with! I very highly suggest her for anyone seeking English Language/Communication Coaching! She is talented, open, patient, and would be a wonderful teacher for anyone needing to sharpen their skills. Having worked with her over the years while she helped a local foundation/grant making is has a true passion for helping others, and our local community! Five stars! read more

Ms. Sharon is so professional, responsible, and always on time. Because of her class, I know about latest news in the U.S, American cultural, etc. I have been living in the US for 2 years and learning English from some teachers. She is the best in my opinion. After finishing her class in MVLA for a half, I definitely continue studying her class one more time. Pay attention to register her English class in MVLA, it is full very quick for registration. She also has some conversation classes, they are great!! read more

I have been taking Sharon's lessons once a week for the past two years. Her lessons are always very enjoyable and effective. I feel very lucky that my colleague referred me to such a quality teacher. I would give Sharon my highest recommendation. Since I moved to the U.S. about ten years ago, I have tried many different ways to improve my English -private lessons, language exchange partners, ESL classes, and self-learning, but Sharon's lessons are the only ones that met my demanding needs as a professional in a high-tech company. She is highly professional, intelligent and dependable, but also is laid-back and has a sense of humor. With her rich background (working experience in well-known tech companies, MBA, working mom), she skillfully covers a variety of topics, from American culture, families, entertainment, business, and global issues to fit my interests. And I know not all English teachers can do so at the level she does. I have learned a lot of useful everyday conversational phrases/vocabulary and subtle nuances/sophisticated expressions used in business settings. These are extremely helpful and I could have never learned them from a text book or on my own. read more

I have met many teachers while learning English, but they all only knew how to speak the language. Sharon was different. She knew the skills needed to teach! She was always very prepared for classes and could pinpoint what I needed to improve on. I can say she is the best English teacher I have met. :) read more

Sharon is the best! I came to here for help with preparing for interviews and thank to her help I succeded getting an offer very quickly. She is very professional and know what she is doing. After our meeting she also helped me negotiate an offer without charging me extra. Also, she is grammar guru ! Don't hesitate to use her services! read more

I am so glad to meet Sharon. She is a professional, smart and experienced tutor. I enjoed her classes. I'm looking forward to continue improving my English with her. read more

I've been studying English with Sharon for 18 months. But unfortunately, I have to move to southern California due to my company's relocation. I'll definitely miss her lessons over there. I highly recommend that people who have moved to the US and are eager to achieve a high level of English skills should take a private tutoring like she provides. I'm pretty sure she is a wonderful teacher and the best in the bay area. We've been meeting once or twice a week for an hour. In the beginning 30 minutes of each time, we have a chat, then in the other 30 minutes, she reviews my writing that I wrote at home. Through those chats and writings, she corrects my grammatical mistakes taking notes such as articles, tense, prepositions which are hard for people to correct by themselves in general. Since I first met her, I've written a lot of writings such as about cultural differences between the US and my county, recent topics on news and things that happen in my business. Thanks to her, I've been motivated to study for a longer period. Therefore, I also recommend that if you have a chance to start studying with her, do it as long as possible. After months or years, you will realize that your English will improve a lot like I did by reviewing my past writings. Again, thank you, Sharon. I'm still passionate about learning English and promise to keep doing it. read more
