I like that she is a person who likes to talk about different topics in their classes, from current issues to more general topics. I like her classes to practice listening (videos) as well as to learn new vocabulary, correct pronunciation & good use of grammar.

Trina is a good organizer you can understand it if you did have a class with her. She has great experience in English teaching. She can always find a funny way to teach. She has useful materials and keeps adding new ones. I really recommend everyone who wants to learn English to have a class with her.
