“Let me start off by saying she is awesome. When I took my first education class, it had been some 20 years since high school. I was very frightened…. She very quickly put me at ease and let me know that she was available any time I needed her…. She was such an inspiration; she not only taught me about being an educator – she made me look at myself as a person and made me strive to be a better person. She is very knowledgeable in her field.”
Ann Spadoni, Blue Island

“Deb was my respiratory instructor. Deb was fabulous—always able to explain something in different ways so that you could understand the concepts. Always willing to go the extra mile to meet with you and help you with anything that you may be struggling with. I learned SO very much from Debbie and truly appreciate everything I learned from her – she is an amazing teacher and person.”
Arrianda Mejia, Oak Lawn

“He made accounting interesting and fun. He taught me that speaking up in class will prepare me to voice my opinion in the business world. Because of my experience in his class, I have chosen accounting as my career.”
Jonathan Zielke, Tinley Park

“Mrs. Kotash is by far one of the most positive forces on the Moraine Valley campus. Her commitment to students goes far beyond the classroom. Mrs. Kotash makes herself available to her students outside of the classroom to build on the lessons they learn. This gives them the chance to apply real-life changes in their lives which has benefits to both the student and the world around them…. She has been more than a teacher to me: she has been a mentor for living a healthy lifestyle. The positive impact has reached every aspect of my life, including health, studies, and work.
Edward Ulatoski III, Tinley Park

“Delwyn Jones is an amazing teacher…. He found a way to make everyone comfortable and confident. I was nervous about talking in front of others, but Mr. Jones was always very positive and understanding of mistakes. I feel that I am a better public speaker because of his class and that is a skill I can use in my employment setting.”
Jennifer England, Hickory Hills

“John Sands has always made himself available to answer questions and provide the guidance I was lacking. John Sands would point me in a direction that paralleled my career as technology continued to change and grow.”
Thomas Obmascik, Downers Grove

“Ms. Jatczak was the ultimate instructor….prompt, knowledgeable, passionate about nursing, exacting and demanding, but above all, a compassionate listener. Her availability to listen was a deciding factor in my efforts each semester as I struggled with the demands of school, home and ailing parents. I credit her with the provision of the encouragement and support I needed to complete my degree.”
Jeanne Skelly, Oak Park

“Dr. Wolf really helped me to change my view on life for the better. He always knew how to make the class laugh, but also taught us to think for ourselves.”
Katelyn Conerty, Palos Heights

“Out of all the years I attended college, I never came across another teacher who had such a genuine passion for what they did. Dr. Wolf clearly loved teaching, but what was even more apparent was his concern for his students. There was a point in his class where I began to struggle, not because of course difficulty, but from outside influences. Dr. Wolf helped me get through his class and provided words of encouragement. I am now going to be taking my physical agility test for the Chicago Police Department, and Dr. Wolf’s words still motivate and encourage me to succeed and help others today.”
Adam Nasadowski, Oak Forest
