“For the first week of my online class; I had Josephine Goodyear as my instructor. She was amazing! She made the learning material very engaging. Instructor Josephine is the greatest teacher I have ever had! She is the reason I'm on track in this CDL program! I would also like to give a great thanks to my student success advisor; Tesla Andino. She has answered every call that I have made to her. As well as answered every question I have had. Thats a lot being that there were 70 students in my online class! If possible; you should request Instructor Josephine for your online class!”
