“Lisi was my favorite teacher in high school. She always had a smile on her face and ensured her students felt comfortable in the classroom. Not only does she have an amazing grasp of the Spanish language, but she also knows how to really teach. She is the only teacher I know of that completely restructured her entire lesson plan around an interesting phrase one of her students had just used because she knew it would make for a more interesting class. She did a fantastic job of keeping us engaged throughout the class period and I learned so much from her. Lisi also genuinely cares about her students and their wellbeing, which created an enormously positive atmosphere that undoubtedly helped me learn much better.”

“Many people think that a teacher should be someone who assigns homework, gives tests, and provides feedback to their students. From my experience, it seems that Lisi has an entirely different definition of the word "teacher". Throughout the two years I had her as a teacher, she not only helped me to develop a passion for learning languages, but she also served as a mentor and a friend. I never thought learning a language like Spanish could help me be a more open-minded, well-rounded student who desires to do good in this world, but with Lisi as a teacher, I accomplished all of the above and more. Not only does she teach the Spanish language, but she incorporates personal stories and lessons from her life that help us to be better people. Taking a class with Lisi, you shouldn't expect to learn just what you signed up for; expect to learn about morals, ethics, and different cultures. Her teaching style is unique and something I've never experienced before. We don't learn simply by completing exercises and taking tests; we learn by playing games, singing songs, and even acting in real-life scenarios in which we would need to use Spanish. Lisi also thoroughly engaged with me inside and outside of the classroom. While this was a Spanish class, she wanted to incorporate the cultures and individual personalities of every single student in the classroom. Lastly, Lisi's passion and dedication are contagious. Her love for the Spanish language has actually passed onto me, and I am now looking to pursue a college degree in the language. It is very clear to me that, as a teacher, Lisi wants to learn just as much as she wants to teach, and that is what makes her one-of-a-kind.”
