San Francisco School of Bartending

Stepping behind the bar at a nightclub typically results in being escorted off the premises. For students of San Francisco School of Bartending, however, it often results in a job. The school complements its 35-hour bartender certification course with mini shifts at a nightclub, where students learn to manage a crowded bar without responding “no” to every order. In classroom sessions, meanwhile, students learn the tricks of the trade, such as how to set up a bar, blend drinks, and free pour. Beyond directly drink-related skills, they also learn to properly handle money and craft compelling resumés. The flexible class times accommodate all schedules, and graduates can return to the school for unlimited job-placement aid.

Round Rock Honey

Named Best Honey in 2008 by the Dallas Observer, Round Rock Honey's 100% natural local wildflower honey is harvested from more than 90 sites by owners Konrad and Elizabeth Bouffard and their crews of trained beekeepers. With precision, they remove the liquid gold from hives by centrifuge, ensuring that pollen, trace minerals, and complex sugars are never compromised during the honey harvest. They then pour the honey through a stainless-steel sieve to remove potential bee legs and wings, wax caps, and miniature tiaras before bottling it and selling it to specialty stores, farmer's market visitors, and online customers.

A similar procedure happens in other parts of the country at Round Rock's beekeeping schools. During classes, Konrad Bouffard and Beekeeping Academy teachers impart their beekeeping knowledge upon suited-up students while they extract honey from a live beehive. Along the way, novices learn about the finer points of raising bees and keeping them healthy, as well as bee handling and lullaby-buzzing.

Enjoy Spanish

Language has always been personal for Carlos Bazan. When he hears Spanish, he thinks of a childhood spent in Peru. He feels his love for Latin culture, and a life spent studying languages across the world—from Europe to California's coast. After moving to San Francisco, Carlos found a new way to connect with language: teaching. After a few years as an educator, he founded Enjoy Spanish in 2006.

Personal connections are the focus of his educational philosophy, which touches on grammar, vocabulary, and culture. During group and private lessons, he leads engaging conversations that connect students to the subject matter more directly than forcing them to wear hats woven out of dictionaries. Of course, Carlos also incorporates grammar material and homework, but he puts a creative spin on things with techniques such as role playing.

Outside of class, Carlos encourages his students to infuse Spanish into things they already love. If they like movies, he'll suggest they rent a foreign film. If they're bookworms, he'll encourage them to rediscover a favorite story in a new language. And if they're travelers, he'll even lead them on trips to Spanish-speaking countries. Through all of this, he has developed lasting relationships with many of his students, who range from lawyers, to professors, to personal trainers.
