I like that she is a person who likes to talk about different topics in their classes, from current issues to more general topics. I like her classes to practice listening (videos) as well as to learn new vocabulary, correct pronunciation & good use of grammar.

Trina is a great teacher! All lessons with her are really fun and enjoyable. She smiles a lot and is very positive, which makes time go by very quickly. She always has good training materials on hand, and I'm never bored. All the new expressions are very useful in my job. I would recommend her to everybody.
