Below are excerpts from what some of their students say. Billy Wood, Chemistry “He takes a lot of time to thoroughly explain the subject of chemistry. He also provides a lot of patient individual assistance to students to make sure they understand the material. He has a positive attitude and a sense of humor and shares his enthusiasm for the subject. He knows his subject well.” Yael Edrey, Biology “Mrs. Edrey is an amazing teacher. She goes out of her way for her students. Also, she teaches in a way that I was able to pick up the material and motivated me the whole way. I appreciate her as a teacher, because she has impacted me in such a positive way. Jenny Martin, Education and Student Development “Ms. Martin is the most caring, down to earth, passionate teacher I have had in college thus far! She takes the time to not only teach from the heart, but show us how to do the same in our future career as teachers. She is a great role model to all of her students. She is one of the best teachers at Northwest Vista.” Laura Salazar, Math “Ms. Salazar is the best teacher I have ever had in math. She really goes the extra mile to make sure her students succeed. If one of her students does not understand something, she will take the time to tutor them until they do. Furthermore, her lessons are clear and she makes class time an enjoyable experience. She really is an outstanding instructor, and deserves to be recognized for her hard work.”
