I don't think you can assess a teacher's excellence based on their accent. One may not be impressed by their first impression, but as time goes on she grows on you. Tatiana is a very intelligent woman that knows her stuff. It's obvious she wants you to succeed and makes ways for this to happen. Study. Do the work. You'll pass the class.

I have to disagree with some comments posted below. It is extremely helpful and logical class. If you plan to be in class and do your homework then you will get a good grade. She is very fair, patient, caring and nice. There is a lot of peer discussions, she answers all questions. I liked the group work.

She completely understands stats. If you are willing to sit down, shut up and listen you will do well. If you want a debate over word usage, take a different teacher. I would take her again if I could. Her grading policies are more than fair and she gives you every chance to do well, if you've done the homework.

Tatiana is a great teacher. She has little pity for your bad grades when you don't do your homework. That makes all the difference! She is very sweet and accomodating but expects you to do your part. I wish I could take another class from her.

Easy to communicate and follow. I took MTH098 with her as well. Understands and answers well all questions. She will finish her sentence, this may answer the question. Some students interrupt and talk too much. She will make sure this stops. Tests help for the final exam. I would take her again, she knows the material and she is a great teacher.

Tatiyana is a great teacher, yes, she is strict, but if you pay attention to everything she says and actually LISTEN then you will have no problem. It is my first time taking statistics, and with Tatiyana I understand everything. The mistakes that I make in tests is not being carefull, not that something I dont know or understand. So if you are wil

willing to pay full attention and love challenges, this is just the teacher for you. She loves smart students. Yes it was hard at first but u'll get used to it

As long as you show up to class and pay attention you will do great. She actually cares if her students pass so she does everything in her power to help you. The people who were not paying attention during lecture are the ones complaining about her style. looking forward to taking her stats class

Tatiana is a good and strong teacher. You have to attend classes and try not to skip. You have to listen to what she says do problems and you will be fine. You'll like her if you are really willing to learn. The more older you are, the more you will like her. Most teenagers seem to not like her, well its college, not high school!

Super caring and always willing to answer questions and help with any assignment you have troubles with. As long as you actually study the study guides, read the chapters, show up to class and do your homework the tests are cake. put some effort in and you'll get an A

Great class for students who are willing to be self driven, hard working and not act with a sense of entitlement. She explains things well when time permits.She breaks down the steps perfectly, explains the "why" behind the each formula. Her class was challenging but rewarding.She's fair in her grading. Not an easy A, but achievable with hard work.

Great teacher. Prepares you very well for work projects and stats problems. When she explains, it makes perfect sense. I was so glad going to classes, because the book was confusing. Students who do not study will not like the class. This is stats, need to study and you will love her class. Take it and you will learn.

Such a nice woman! I really enjoyed her class. She's helpful and forgiving as long as you make an effort. She very sweet, and it only takes a little while to get used to her accent. She explains things fairly well and will slow down and if you ask.

Tatiana is a fantastic teacher. Yes, she has an accent, but it's not significant enough to justify anyone's petty complaints. She works with students, she explains thoroughly, and she's more than willing to help anyone that is struggling. I always struggle in math related studies but I did well with her as my teacher, I highly recommend her.

She is doing a great job. Explains very well, shows all steps and unlike the text it makes sense when she explains and answers questions. Very patient with students. Statistics is difficult, but she makes it easy. Students like her, and listens to students. Need to study and you will have good grade.

Very helpful. She did a great job by posting notes and helpful materials. Explained material well and used many examples. The class was enjoyable.

Calculus is not easy, but she explains what you need to know and shows a lot of examples. She is definitely answering questions and doing HW questions. People do not attend and study, so they find Calculus hard.

I liked the constant examples and detailed explanations. I did not feel rushed to do the homework for credit. She gladly accepts questions. Other students did not put the time to study. Group work is very helpful, so I liked group work. Useful feedback. Exams were not difficult. She is cheerful and funny. A great teacher.

Easy tests and extra credit galore. Her class felt progressively easier, at least assessment-wise. Personally, I aced every test besides the final and the lack of assigned homework probably contributed. However, the pop quizzes felt random, and I failed most of them.

This teacher honestly made me love math again.

I really liked her class. Very clear and helpful. I was not rushed to do the HW. Instead she did a lot of examples in class. Other professors do not review and explain a lot in Calculus classes, but she did go over a lot of details. She was always available, positive and I learnt a lot.

I loved her. Very helpful and cares about everyone. I did learn a lot and I enjoyed the class.

She made it easy to understand. Motivated me to study regularly. A lot of examples and worksheets that helped a lot. Lectures were clear and posted online. I liked her teaching style. Very helpful.

She's a good teacher, but she's limited by the strange way BC conducts it's low/mid-level math classes; finals are common to all classes at each level, so professors have little leeway on the subject, and don't even get to see the final before test day. The final was much harder than past examples, similar to class material, but harder. Study!

She is a sweet and funny Bulgarian lady. Her teaching style is a bit confusing to me, and I think she goes too fast. But she is very understanding and helpful.

She is awesome. Explains very well with a lot of examples. Cares about her students, very understanding and helpful. I did ask questions and she was so good and patient. I will take another class with her.

She is wonderful. Very nice and willing to help. Take advantage of office hours. Lots of extra points between quizzes, homework, and in class activities to pad not so great test scores. She has a great personality, with a funny kind of dry sense of humor. I will take her again if I have the chance with higher math. Older student take her.

She is great. Homework was reasonable and helping for tests. She gave good feedback and little deduction for mistakes. Statistics is hard, but she did a great job to teach it. I would take another class with her.

I've learned a lot and gained confidence in a subject that has made me struggle academically for years. Thankfully, she explained very well and gave a lot of examples. I did not even notice the accent. I would take another class with her.

AWESOME TEACHER! I was late and she was very forgiving, which was very nice of her. Not many professors will do that for you! Her accent was VERY EASY to understand. She scolds noisy people during class (THANKS!). The homework helps for tests. She made Statistics easy to learn. Take her class.

I have taken her for all my math classes at Bellevue College. She is very nice and takes things pretty slow. She also drops your lowest scores for group work and warm ups. Only thing is, don't skip class alot because there is a lot of graded work during class.

She will go over the homework in class and go over any other math questions or you didn't understand before tests if you ask her. Attendence does matter! The math homework is online and is easier becuase it has multiple ways to demonstrate how to solve a math problem if you get the question wrong. I would highly recommend taking her class!

She really cares about your grade. If you miss class, you need to get the notes from someone who was in class because she doesn't post her notes online. The homework is online, easy to get an a in the homework section. If you need help, ask. She'll explain. Tests/quizzes are exactly what we do in class

You have to pay attention, but if you're willing to learn, it pays off. She grades harshly, but gives extra credit. Classes are very helpful, and she posts reviews and worksheets on Canvas which come in handy if there's a less on that doesn't click the first time. One thing though, you WILL get docked for making stupid mistakes and not showing work

I took online math099 with Professor Tatiana. My experience with her was a good one, she organized the class very well by using weekly modules, 3 quizzes and two midterms, and a final. She uses Aleks, and I recommend using the tools in Aleks to practice over and over until you feel conforbale with the topics.

She is an amazing teacher. If you work really hard and get all A's in the quizzes and tests, at the end of the quarter she picks a few students who have been steady throughout the year and lets you skip the final test (and it wont count towards your grade). She clarifies all your questions and loves meeting students during office hours.

This teacher is chill and responds best to those who try their best. The homework is on Aleks and while there are certain chapters that are a bit heavier, they are relatively easy. She's not given one lecture because every class is either spending the whole hour on Aleks quietly or doing group worksheets. She is particluar on showing your work.

Professor Mihaylova really seemed to care about the students. She was responsive to emails, and had helpful advice and support.

I liked how the instructor kept the course work very consistent quickly graded. The instructor was able to always offer help when needed. Reminder thru messages were useful.

As long as you do the homework, the worksheets and the practice tests, you will do well and learn. I always completed as well as any extra and practice work assigned. She gives good feedback, but students should care to check it to benefit from it. Very fair teacher with quick and helpful responses. Available to help outside class.

She does a good job with the class. I took two different classes with this prof. Everything was well organized and if there was ever a question about any work or due date she was quick to answer. She welcomes questions, explains well and cares. The class was not easy, but this is statistics so I did not expect to be easy.

The class is great and plan to take another class with this professor. I am really enjoying the class and happy myself to see how well Im doing. I think ALEKS and the class will definitely better prep me for the next class.

This professor responds very quickly and cares about her students.

I learned so much. It was online class. I liked the group work and projects. The professor responded quickly and with care. Very nice person and teacher. Will take another class with this professor.

Professor Tatiana is an amazing prof. I would recommend taking her. Class is based on videos, online hw, notes, textbook and other assignments. Offers a lot help and discussion posts. Respond very quickly. Gives good feedback. Prepares students for universities. Extra credit for exams. Cares a lot about students and excellent prof all around.

If you want to learn topics from Intermediate Algebra, I would recommend taking this professor. She is very helpful, knowledgeable and responds quickly. She gives you specific feedback and is very open to helping you out. Would definitely take again!

Very good class organization and feedback. I got good math review and learned new topics. I did very well on the next math course. Definitely take this professor.

The class does have a lot of homework but that is mostly because you need to practice to learn the concepts. The professor seems to care a lot. Good group work that helps you learn and discuss the problems.

Everything worked fine for me. I did very well in next math course. Prof. is caring and knows how to teach the material even for students who struggle.

One of my favorite instructors! Majority of the class content was to be learned at home. Careful consideration was taken to address difficult topics during class time. Attending every class is essential to participate in group work. Tatiana wants everyone to succeed! Made me feel confident and capable in my ability to understand mathematics. :)

Professor Tatiana is a one of a kind teacher!:) As someone who struggles with math, it was so nice to have a teacher that was so supportive and encouraging throughout the course. A lot of teachers can dismiss how challenging math can be, but Professor Tatiana never did that and really understood how hard it is to learn math. She was beyond helpful!

Don't expect the prof to hold your hand in this class. If you have prior math experience, you will have an easy time in this class as long as you stay on top of assignments. Gives extra credit and partial credit for wrong answers with work shown. She was nice in my opinion and would help when she could (calculators and pencils). ALEKS heavy but idc

I would take this professor again in-person or online. Very caring, responds quickly, explains very well. Other professors do not respond for days, not this prof. A lot of practice to learn. A lot of review materials. Good feedback. Gave me options when I could not meet deadlines.

Professor Mihalova was the only math instructor I ever had that actually encouraged me to WANT to learn math. She made it seem easier than ever before. She's kind, resourceful, and cares for her students a lot. She was extremely accommodating as well. My favorite professor.

I had an online class with Professor Mihaylova. What can I say: yes, there is a lot of homework. But everything is clear and doable. The professor quickly replies to messages and rescheduled my test due to surgery with great understanding.
