Valuable aspects of studying here at Concordia

The first moment I stepped into the Department of Education at Concordia University, I felt a sense of welcoming. It felt as if everything was possible here.

I have been amazed by how professional yet very approachable the faculty members are. My two most thrilling moments have been (1) being able to work as the website/social media coordinator for the TESL Resource Centre initiated by Dr Teresa Hernandez Gonzalez, and (2) having internalised Dr Pavel Trofimovich’s feedback on my writing.
