Dynamic, energetic university educator with eight years Spanish instruction experience, Pooler, GA

Andria was my professor in Madrid for the Study Abroad Program this past summer. Her teaching skills are exceptional. Though the course was only four weeks long, she managed to cover a lot of materials in a short amount of time, and was able to explain every lesson well. Her passion for teaching showed in the way she taught us. In addition, her class was fun and engaging, and personally, I enjoyed and learned a lot from her. After the summer, I had gained so much confidence in using Spanish in my daily life. Furthermore, she made a great impact on me and because of that I have decided to continue my studies and pursue an associate’s degree in Spanish.

She is the kind of professor that makes sure her students understand the material before moving to another topic, and if they don't, she takes the time to explain the lesson carefully and will give ample exercises to practice. She assesses her students’ weaknesses and uses methods that are tailored to their needs. Andria is caring, helpful, and patient. She also encourages and challenges her students to get out of their comfort zones. And for all these reasons, I recommend Andria as an instructor or tutor.

I had Professor Andria over the summer for Intermediate Spanish. She was beyond fantastic. Her lesson plans were fun and informative. She made sure everyone understood the material before moving on. Her attention I detail in explaining difficult material is unlike I’ve ever seen before in any professor. Her extensive knowledge of language goes beyond the textbook and into how people actually speak Spanish. She is the best foreign language professor I’ve ever had and I’ve a bunch over my academic career. Highly recommend.
