Kayla is an awesome Spanish teacher! Most beneficial Spanish class I've taken. She genuinely cares about her students and does everything in her power to help. The class is very structured and she is so well organized. If you pay attention in class and do the work; you'll be fine. She's always available to help after class and in office hours too.

This was my 4th quarter taking Spanish here, and honestly, Kayla was my favorite of the professors I've had in the department. Her speaking is fluid and very clear, and she prepared a variety of activities for us to actively work on our writing and speaking Spanish. Lots of hard concepts for Span5, but she explained them in ways that made sense.

I absolutely LOVE Kayla. I had her for two quarters and she definitely was passionate about teaching Spanish. She offered so many resources for her students and was always willing to put in extra hours to help proofread an essay or clarify any concepts.

Awesome teacher, super nice, and really willing to help. I would take a class with her again.

Kayla is very helpful and also a very cool person!

Kayla is probably the most organized teacher you'll come across at UCSB. All her instructions are concise, and she leaves no room for you to doubt her teaching method because it's so effective. She encourages participation & your best work ethic, & that's what makes her so great. She's also grades and returns your examsessays in approx. two days.
