Welcome to Spring 2024!
Hi! My full name is Thomas Kennedy, but please call me Tom.
I'm from Ohio. I've lived in San Francisco since 1991, and I've taught ESL (English as a Second Language) at City College since 2007.
I believe that community is central to learning. For this reason, I foster a supportive learning community in my classes. Through participation in this classroom community, students develop skills that allow them fuller community participation at school, at work, and in their neighborhoods.
I'm excited to work with you in class. Let's learn English together!
