What Students Say
"I was a first-time student of Spanish in a class where everyone else had taken Spanish before. Jerry was extremely helpful, encouraging, and inspiring. Whenever I needed help, he was easy to find, and he always made time to help me, even if he had other things to do. He is genuinely interested in Spanish language and culture, and his enthusiasm shines through his teaching."
-Abby Bond, English Literature Major
