Also, this teacher is giving very clear examples that are practical and applicable to our classes. I think it is a course that I can apply to a hundred percent in my daily work.
Katrina – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –
I thought she was very intelligent and informative but there was an air about her that made me think she is an elitist. I am sure that is just my perception but I felt almost spoken down too and I felt she was trying more to be a government teacher than an English teacher.
