Lisa S. Houghtailing
Vice Principal

Aloooooooha!
I’m Lisa and I was born and raised in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii. I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a B.A. in English Literature in 2004. I have been teaching ESL for nearly three years to students from all over Asia and Europe. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family & friends, going to the movies, reading books, and eating fine pieces of chocolate and drinking grande non-fat mochas. As a “local,” I have acquired a vast understanding of Hawaiian culture and language.  If you have any questions about Hawaii or want to increase your pidgin speaking abilities, feel free to ask me! Welcome to Hawaii & CPC!
   

Yuka Yamauchi
Head Teacher & Student Services Coordinator

Welcome to CPC!!!
I’m Yuka and I was born and raised in historic Kyoto, Japan.  I have lived in Hawaii for four years, and graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with an M.A. in Second Language Studies in 2006. In my free time, I enjoy shopping at Marukai, drinking Itoen tea (Green tea only), and eating inexpensive Chinese food!! As a second language learner, I have been able to experience the numerous and sometimes humorous difficulties that often accompany learning English.  If you have any question or concerns about your classes, please free to ask me! Remember, I’m the cute woman with the giant bottle of Itoen green tea.
   

Tim Jordan
Instructor

Hi everyone!  My name is Tim Jordan and I am from the Washington D.C. area.  I completed my undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech and then came out to Hawaii to get my Master's degree in ESL here at UH.  I really love learning about other cultures and I've traveled to many different places in Asia and Central America.  I speak some Spanish and Chinese and I really know what it's like to try and learn another language.  I love watching movies, eating food from different countries, and getting out to see the beauty of Hawaii.  I really look forward to sharing stories and experiences with all of my future students and friends.   :)
