Brad might be the Michael Jordan of Russian teachers. He is at least the LeBron. He takes what seems like a quite intimidating language to learn and makes it very fun. Very knowledgeable of language and culture. Always willing to slow down and explain if necessary. Funny dude too, really keeps the class engaged. The GOAT

My boy, Brad, is fantastic and engaging. Passionate about the subject and very helpful. Enthusiastic and very fun to talk to, overall a very cool guy. It's a language class, so there is an obvious out of class obligation, but if you get confused Brad will help no doubt. Can't recommend Brad enough. Makes what could be a miserable slough very fun.
