SLAVIC 101
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
One of my favourite teachers last semester! She's so nice, easy to go up to and ask for help, and sympathetic to our situation. It's clear that she really wants to help us grow as a learner and improve our Russian.

So, so, so, nice! Always reachable and super easy to talk to. I could tell she actually wanted to help us grow in our understanding of the language; hope I have her next semester!
