“As the world has been facing so many challenges lately, it is paramount that institutions and instructors both respect and learn from the multitude of cultures in which we live. Teaching international students has been a privilege of mine for many years, as it is a way to learn firsthand about cultural diversity and its richness.
Working at INTO Suffolk has given me the opportunity to connect with new students and to reconnect with continuing students every given semester. It has been a joy to be a part of such a tight-knit and open-minded community.”

“Having the opportunity to teach and work with many different languages and cultures helps me become a better instructor. I am able to understand and learn from the students’ different skills and interests as they do from me.
I enjoy teaching professionally oriented courses the most. I feel that I can provide knowledge based on my experience and current events in order to assist students in gaining a position that suits them well.
I enjoy chatting with students and appreciate when they see me as a person, not just their instructor. They feel relieved when they realize that we all go through similar situations in our academic career.”

“I love working at INTO Suffolk University because of all the resources that we offer students. There are office hours, tutoring, academic coaches, language workshops, and skill building talks. This way, I can teach my class and give them assignments, but if they are struggling, there is always a place they can go for extra help.
I recommend that students have an open mind when coming to the US. Try to get out of your comfort zone and explore what the American culture has to offer. It might be very different from what you are expecting, but you can discover something new about yourself when seeing the world through a new perspective.”
