"The attitude in this classroom was very welcoming throughout this course, and her teaching methods allowed me to learn more and leave this class knowing more because I am someone who doesn't learn by taking test after test, I learn by putting my knowledge on paper so that I can see what I remember and what I need to work on."
-
"The teacher made sure that all of her students could understand the subject matter even if that meant that she had to repeat herself over and over again! Great job! This course helped to build my confidence in front of people when I am speaking to them."
