About Abaigeal - Your A+ Coach

Your liberal attitude toward creating an interesting project really allowed me, as a student, to discover talents I as not aware I had... I am grateful for that experience and hope you will continue to explore creative teaching methods in the future. Thanks for a great semester, ("Theresa")
Abaigeal is extremely intelligent and teaches the class with such enthusiasm that I felt drawn in. I had Art History 1 with her and was so impressed by her skill that I wanted to take class with her again. I felt that I learn a lot from her. The class curriculum has not only captured by interest in class, but also outside of class. I plan on taking a trip to Europe to explore art and culture, and I have her to thank for opening my eyes to a whole new world.
