Anna Shine, Ed.M., Harvard University
President of NESE

Anna Shine, a successful and popular educator, holds a Master's degree in Education from Harvard University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan. Her experience includes teaching and directing English language programs in both the United States and Europe. She also developed and directed the English language program at the prestigious Massachusetts General Hospital.

Ms. Shine is British but she has lived in the United States (Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Massachusetts), Europe (Germany, France, England, Scotland, Wales), and the South Atlantic Ocean (St. Helena) during the past 20 years. As a result, she is particularly sensitive to the problems, both linguistic and cultural, that a foreigner may have. And she knows personally why it is so important to understand a culture to learn its language.

Ms. Shine brings to NESE a commitment to maintain the best possible learning environment: one that is always challenging, enjoyable, and entirely supportive to students.

Martha Hall, Ed.M., Harvard University
Director of NESE
Martha Hall was trained at Harvard University in its renowned Graduate School of Education.

This rigorous academic background has given Ms. Hall a unique understanding of second language acquisition and curriculum development. In sum, Ms. Hall's international experiences have provided her with wide access to the most innovative and effective teaching methods. As a result, Ms. Hall remains a tremendous resource to all students, teachers, and staff at NESE.
