Student Testimonials
"Philippa's focus on authentic practice with real students' language production capped off everything I felt I was still lacking after taking all other courses toward my degree. She considered our areas of weakness in preparing the course as well, which was immensely helpful. She teaches with a focus on practicality and has single-handedly better prepared me for my teaching career than the rest of my professors combined. Thanks for your insights, your teaching suggestions, your templates and all the practice!"
"Everything she does is so well thought out. She seems to care deeply for her students. I see her as a mentor."
"Philippa is an amazing teacher, a great model and an inspiring person. Any student is lucky to have her as a mentor. She goes beyond theory and makes use aware of valuable things to know before going into a classroom."
"You're the best in the business and have taught me more about myself than anyone ever has in thirty years. You always find ways to make your classes interesting, and I can always count on you to let me know what time it is when I submit an assignment that is not up to my regular standards."
"One word: Transparency. When entering Philippa Parks's classroom you know exactly what to expect all the time. Her instructions are spot on and her rubrics help the students know exactly what is expected of them. She is fair with her grading, she is always available for consultation and she knows exactly what she is doing. Outstanding teacher."
