She can be a bit frustrating.. but definitely the best spanish teacher I've ever had... She teaches really well and she is so nice and gets so into her lectures!!!
She is very cool and she's funny. She doesn't give too much homework, and she drops your lowest grade of everything!!! The class is not boring, and we watchd a movie and sometimes she gives xtra credit. Ella es una profesora buena :)
She is the best spanish teacher you can have.very nice person.you have very fun class,you go to mexican food with class,you see movie in class and lot more fun...
the best teacher ever
One of the best professors in WLAC.
excellent professor. very fun and interesting lectures. I loved every moment of class. DO NOT TAKE SPANISH WITH ANYONE ELSE. she is awesome, very good powerpoint presentations.
She is an impeccable teacher, I looked forward to attending her class everyday.
Excellent teacher, very caring and willing to help others.
Excellent teacher. Can't wait for next semester. Please take Spanish from her!!
She's a very good instructor and an all around good person
teaches so well that after one semester in her 101 class I tested into advanced when i got to spain. is willing to make the class interesting for EVERY1- will stick to topic for slower students but answer weird questions by faster paced kids
Very good professor.
OK, teacher however more concerned with her fashion, or her lack therof, than with JUST TEACHING! she is obsessed with mexican's also, her main concern is not with just teaching. If you can put up with her blind patriotism, then maybe you can deal with this class. U.S. Basher with false ideas!
Shes a very nice person in general, very helpful and cares abour her students. The class was pretty easy and I actually looked forward to comming to class!
nice person, good slide shows, good attitude. BAD handouts, Test have little to do with notes. Spanish 2 easier than 1. If you want a fun and informative class take Gonzalez! much better.
for some reason i expected the class to be a breeze, but i'm very suprised with myself on what i've learned and how well i've retained the information that she taught us. she's a very good teacher, and doesn't give a lot of work. I suggest her if you have ADD, as she moves around and talks a lot.
OK, this sucks! I've noticed that the material on tests, have little to do with the lecture. Now it's too late to drop. The teacher reels you in, with stories, to meet her quota. Then you are trapped!!! Misleading, tricks you, not as fair as she says she is.
This class was bad. Take from another teacher. Or go to another school if you need to. Teacher picks her favorites and is unfair. Tests are unfair and tilted. Teachers scoring method will only hurt you, and not help you like she says.
She is funny and outgoing, there is no way to get bored in her class. You dont need the book just study all her handouts and you'll get an A. it may seem like a lot of work at 1st but it dies down 2 months in. HER GRADING IS FAIR,plus there is plenty of extra credit. She cares about her students and is willing to help you if you need it, just ask.
She makes Spanish fun and accessible, and puts a lot of effort into actively involving each student. She is very fair in marking, and pays attention to the detail and effort you put into your work. I learned so much more in one semester than I thought I would! She's also quite funny, and will crack you up, sometimes accidentally. Very caring person
She is an ok teacher. She loves what she does, and tries to make her students interested. A very easy grader, but has a tendency to go over topics too quickly or not thoroughly enough. However, she is always willing to help if you are having problems. Overall a very nice woman, and a decent teacher. I recommend taking her spanish classes.
Very nice woman who communicates well and works with students. I highly recommend this class!
Profesora Culton es excelente! I really appreciate her way of teaching patient is she and very kind:)
I just want to tell onething about this professor. She is my GODESS. She is everything that I can't write all in here. You will be pleased to get her class. Amazing and lovely teacher. I love you Mrs. Culton from Azita.
Professor Culton is a truly good teacher. Yes we did stay late in class because she wanted to make sure that noone was left behind. We had so much fun doing oral projects, group projects and speaking. Here class is very interactive. Noone dropped because of how much fun we had. She was always in the lab checking on students to see if they needed ex
I attended profesora Culton espanol ocho clase. She made the clase fun and I learned how to communicate better in spanish. I hope she will teach espanol tres in the upcoming semester.
great professor! I am taking Spanish 2 in spring!!!
Dopest teacher i didn't know one word in spanish i struggled she was there to hlep me out and got an A
I am struggling very hard learning spanish. Thank god that i have such a caring teacher by the name of Mrs. Culton. Her heart is really into the spanish that she teaches to her students, and there is no way that your learning will not get better. "Mrs.Culton your the Greatest, Art."
Profesora Culton esta mi profesora favorita! I have fallen in love with Spanish culture, food, music and people. My first experience with Mrs. Culton was in her Spanish I class in Salamanca, Espana. An unforgetable time, in which Mrs. Culton went above and beyond to ensure an enriched program. Gracias, profesora Culton!!
Mrs. Culton has the profound ability to bring out the best in her students. Her knowledge and understanding of the Spanish and English language is second to none. She shows the uniqueness and similarities of the cultures.I went into the class with uncertainty but I am coming out with an A. She is an outstanding teacher and the class was fun.
I took Spanish with Professor Culton this semester and I love it despite the fact that I did not know a word in Spanish in the beginning of semester. She really loves what she does and she cares for students' success. If you need to take Spanish class, Culton is the best choice. You won't regret. And I'm getting an A.
she is sometimes fustrating but overall she is a great teacher.
ms. culton is a helpful, outgoing, and informational teacher. She like really cares about the students and tries her gardest to keep them involved and interested. i like her so much i signed up for the spanish 2 with her!! take her and you wont regret it...be nice to her because she is so sweet.
she is very nice and funny. but her class is hard if you don't know anything about spanish. The day before the test she cover every material that you need to know for the test. overall, it's a good class.
What an ideal Teacher! She appears to be a work addict,devoting all of her time to teaching, including devoting extra hours in order for her students to comprehend the language. additionally Mrs. Culton creates the environment for learning. For example; she focuses on different activities in order to engage her clients (students) During class stud
SHE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER AND SHE CARES A LOT ABOUT HER STUDENT BUT SHE IS VERY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND SHE GETS MAD WHEN STUDENTS TRY TO CORRECT HER. SHE IS "NEVER WRONG". BUT IF YOU JUST STUDY AND PUT THE EFFORT TO LEARN YOU WILL LEARN! SHE IS A GOOD TEACHER
All i can see about Culton is she is the 2nd best teacher i have ever had! She really wants you to succeed and cares and the way she teaches is fabulous! TAKE HER NOT MIZUKI!
Great professor. Very passionate about her students if you have the desire to learn. Take her if you have to take Spanish. The best...
Great professor who will do anything she can to help her students. Spent a lot of time after hours helping students study in the lab, made things interesting in the class room. Definitely a great teacher and a great person.
She's really amusing and nice. I learned a lot, and had fun doing it too. Hard to do early in the morning, so kudos to her. Her pet peeve is being interrupted by phones going off, etc. She's trying to teach, have some respect. She doesn't ask for much, just show up, do the hw, do alright on exams, for the majority of the time, and you'll be fine.
MRS.CULTON WAS SUPER HELPFUL AND CARING ABOUT MY LEARNING EXPERIENCE :> I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANY STUDENT WHO IS A BEGINNER, OR ONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ENHANCE HIS/HERS SPANISH SPEAKING SKILLS!STUDY THE MATERIAL, DO THE HOMEWORK, AND BE ON TIME. IN REGARDS TO SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE,SHE IS THOROUGH AND PRECISE IN HER LECTURES.
She is by far the best Spanish teacher I have ever had. Explains in a good easy to understand and best of all in a helpful to memorize way. She is strict concerning attendance and leaving class for any reasons, but is very flexible. I learned a lot in her calss. Remember you must do at least 32 hours of lab mandatory for this class. She is great!
I am taking this class for the first time with her she is a really nice teacher, she loves helping people who need it also helps people who already know Spanish. She is a great teacher so far she is a fun teacher she likes to joke around. We haven't use the book so far. I would recommend this teacher take this class she's the best.
She is an awesome teacher she loves to help her students her tests, quizes are very easy i would get A's on them without studying any of the work given from class. We never use the spanish 02 book so i recommend not to buy the book because you will not be using the book at all and it will be a waist of money if you do.
My first time to take Profesora Culton's class this year. I have taken Span 1 & 2 before and I am taking this class as a refresher's course before moving on to Span 3. The BEST teacher and recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning Spanish thoroughly. A caring teacher and very, very good. Follow the rules and you will be okay.
MS CULTON IS THE BEST SHES A GREAT TEACHER SHES THE BEST TAKE HER DONT BUY THE BOOK WE NEVER USED IT WAISTE OF MONEY IF YOU DO SHES AWESOME
She is the best Spanish teacher you will ever find. Highly recommend this woman. She helps every student independently and makes sure you get a good grade in the class. Best teacher i had in a long time!
AWESOME TEACHER THE BEST IN SPANISH TAKE HER SHE IS THE BEST TEST AND QUIZZES ARE REALLY EASY YOU MUST HAVE A NAME TAG ON YOUR DESK FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS BY THEN SHE WILL MEMORIZE YOUR NAME AND YOU TAKER THE NAME TAG AWAY SHE IS THE BEST EASY VERY HELPFUL UNDERSTANDABLE BEST AT WEST
shes an awesome teacher dont buy the book we never used it in class so dont buy it if you do it will be a waiste of money so dont buy it. Her class is super easy if your fluent easier if your not fluent it will be easy shes not hard at all BEST AT WEST I RECCOMMEND TAKING HER EASY A++++++++
Mrs. Culton is awesome. She thoroughly answers questions. Don't break her rules, they are simple rules that should be common sense and if you went to high school, they shouldn't be an issue. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!! Big waste of money and you can't sell it back :/ However I looooved her class.
Mrs. Culton is an exceptional teacher. With a class of 40 students, with maybe 80% native speakers and 2 per cent having never taken spanish before, she makes every effort to treat and grade all students fairly. If this was a REAL beginning, as advertised in the school schedule of classes, spanish class, it would be even more awesome!
Best Spanish teacher ever easy A+. Attendance is mandatory ifyou miss 3 times you can not take the first quiz or second depending in which quiz you are in but the quizzes/pop quizzes/tests/mid term/final exam are easy. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK WAISTE OF MONEY AND BOOKSTORE DOESN'T BUY IT BACK. VERY EASY CLASS
As a non-native speaker of Spanish, the course was not too difficult. Most of the material was provided through lecture, so take good notes. Mrs. Culton makes available her website with additional study material, which is helpful to learning the language. Mrs. Culton is student-friendly and cares about her students academic success.
Very nice teacher. She cares a lot about her students and treats everyone equally, whether they are natives speakers or not. One of the best teachers I have ever had.
This class is very easy wwith professor Culton she is the best Spanish teacher at West LA take her for Spanish 01,Spanish 02, Spanish 03 and Spanish 08 i recommend her she is not hard very easy and she wants the best for her students.
She seems to not understand the concept of a pop quiz or the difference between a quiz and exam.
I took 3 Spanish classes with Ms Culton and every time i get an A i took Spanish 1 Spanish 2 and Spanish 8 I wish she can teach Spanish 3. She is very nice and helpful I RECOMMEND HER easy quizzes/pop quizzes/tests and final easy A she wont fail you.
She is very unorganized!!!
SHE IS A REALLY GREAT TEACHER,VERY HILARIOUS, BASICALLY YOU JUST NEED TO STUDY AND PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO. DOWNSIDE, SHE CAN BE A LITTLE MOODY, NOT TOO UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE'S RESPONSIBILITES OUTSIDE OF CLASS, AND SOMETIMES SHARES TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFO. BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! YOU WILL LEARN ALOT!DONT BE LATE!!!!
She is simply amazing, she went above and beyond to keep her student informed, SKIP CLASS.? You won't pass. She really care about the success of her students, highly recommend taking her class, she is simply a joy.
She is simply amazing, she really care of the success of her students, she went above and beyond to keep her students informed. SKIP CLASS..? You won't pass. If you take her, you will learn and do well, She is simply joy!
Study and pay attention in class and you will pass. Don't be late and do not use your cellphone in class, don't break her rules.
Study and pay attention in class and you will pass. Would recommend for native speakers to take the class.
She's an amazing teacher! If you email her about stuff that you don't understand she will get back to ASAP. She loves to help and answer questions. I would take this class again hands down and can't wait for Spanish 2! Josefina you rock!!!!
Profesora Culton is the best Spanish Professor . Her classes are fun and exciting ! She makes you love what you do because she loves what she does. Extremely helpful and Professional. Would recommend her to everyone.
I notice others have complained that she perhaps tells too many stories,strays off topic a bit. I didn't see it that way. She is a brilliant Spanish professor because there's a purpose to those stories that is very effective in bringing to life the cultures of Spanish speaking people that very much aids in immersion into the language.
great teacher
wow ms culton is the best spanish teacher at west la i did spanish 3 and 4 at spain to a student abroad thing it was great the best class ever you should go to spain with her we go to the best places. The host family is great they treat you like a family member it is awesome,
If you want to feel like you're back in high school do not take her. She tends to call her students out in front of the rest of the class, so disrespectfull. If you don't understand her in English you definitely will NOT understand her in Spanish. She should've been a high school teacher, not a college professor. She takes everything personal.
Prof. Culton has been the most helpful professor this semester. She sincerely cares for her students, and spends a lot of time preparing for her classes. She does not rely on any textbook, which makes her teaching very natural, though also means that going to class is essential. I recommend her if you genuinely want to learn Spanish and pass.
Prof. Doesn't require text book. Mrs. Culton uses her own website very unorganized. It would be better if she used etudes. She talks too much about her personal life in class.
Prof. Culton is such a great proffesor! She makes class so much fun. She cares about her student and puts a lot of heart in to teaching Spanish. The best Spanish teacher I ever had:) obviously the student who rated her bad is because they didn't try at all ....
I think she is the preferred teacher at this school because she is easy. Most students from what I saw could barely speak a lick of Spanish after. The ones in my class that were behind had her for Span1. Coincidence? She was often flustered and unorganized. In her defense, her husband passed that semester. Shes a trooper for only missing one day.
I just came back from Spain with her and other classmates it was a great experience it was my first time out of the country without my parents. It was a great class. I took Spanish 3 and 4 incredible teacher. She is the best at West.
Ms. Culton if you read this you should teach Spanish 03 in a regular semester your are the best.
La Profesora Culton es lo mejor. Thanks to Ms Culton I now know how to speak and write in Spanish even though I need more practice hopefully she can teach Spanish 03 in the fall or any other semester. Take this teacher while she is still teaching you won't regret it.
Bravo Ms Culton you are the best of the best. Your a wonderful teacher. Everyone who reads this take her while she still teaches because you will not regret it.
97% of the class is filled with Hispanics the rest are people who don't speak Spanish. Ms Culton treats everyone the same. For non speaking students if Spanish is hard for you and Culton will make this class really easy even tho most of the class knows Spanish you will learn how to speak it once the semester end it is not that hard, take her ASAP.
What an amazing experience with this teache. I went to Salamanca, Spain for student abroad and she showed us everything important about it.
Ms Culton is the greatest Spanish teacher. I hope one day she teaches Spanish04 in a regular semester
Take her while she still teaches she's like 56+ years old so take her while you can Easy A
What a wonderful human being
You can really count on her for anything
Professor Culton is such a sweet lady. Her teaching style is good. She makes jokes so you will remember what you are learning. She will stop to clarify and gives tests and pop quizzes. Attend class, take notes and you will pass. Easy A!
she provides you with the website, and handout , and the amazing lectures, so I didn't have to worry of buying a book and I focus on my class. always available after class.
she provides everything for you show up and you'll pass
An amazing women, mother and an excellent professor she is the best from West
Ms. Culton if you read this you are awesome if you dont read this you are still awesome. Eres la mejor.
Maravillosa maestra la mejor. She is the best take her. She provides notes for you all you need to do is take notes and pay atention.
Take her while you can. You wont regret it
Prof. Culton really cares about her students. This is what sets her apart from other professors that I have had. She has dedicated her life to teaching language to others and this clearly shows in her work. If you are willing to open up and engage yourself, she takes the class experience to another level. She expects you to care, mind you.
She is an old school teacher who cares about you. She cares if you understand her class or not she will help you 1 on 1 or in class depending on you. She is very friendly. She is not that hard to pass. Take her while you can.
What a great professor! She is so caring and passionate about teaching, (I wish more professors were like her). She loves her job and loves her students too. Sit in the front and participate and you'll do fine. She is so funny and outgoing you can't help but have a good time learning Spanish. Take lots of notes and put in some effort.
Mrs Culton is one of the sweetest and attentive professors I have had. She makes a point to get know all her students. She really knows how to assert her control of her class. She will have you laughing and learning espanol effectively. If you have a hard time she is sure to take into account your efforts! SPANISH 1 (11:10-12:25 pm section #1842
She is a sweetheart, how has teaching in her heart. She loves to shares stories that gives us a better understanding of the culture not just the language of Latin America.
My main complaint with this professor is that she's unorganized. She uses her own website for class, which is frustrating to navigate and poorly made. For example, on the homework page you can scroll down and find answer sheets to ALL future assignments. And, if you break one of her "rules" and she feels like it, she'll out you to the whole class.
I love the class the teacher is very smart, understanding, patient and teaches very well, because she speaks many different idiomas. Russian, French, German and ect. Professor Culton knows many technics and great methods for teaching and she set a great example to all of us and show us to keep studying and stay positive. She helps all.
shes rude she argues back with student she doesn't review she controlling and she goes to fast in her teaching. She bias if you half Latino meaning your expect to know all the answers and teaching us Spain Spanish is ridiculous.
Mrs Culton is a caring lady with a lot of funny stories. She has a lot of experience and is very passionate. If you really want to learn Spanish, Mrs. Culton will really help you. She offers office hours and a lot of feedback. The zoom is definitely interactive, but optional. The class was not hard. But also she wants you to try to learn.
