At the Defense Language Institute, I had the amazing opportunity of being a student of Ms. Sharma. Her dedication to teaching and above-average qualities are endless. During the time I have known and worked with her, Ms. Sharma displayed excellent teaching abilities.
Kyle Pierce, former student, United States Air Force, California, USA
Dr. Sharma was habitually well-prepared for class and had ready multiple engaging exercises and activities that emphasized speaking, reading, writing, and listening equally…always made certain that each member of the class clearly understood them…would split the class into small groups and provide us with a topic to discuss that was relevant to the day’s lessons…made sure that the classroom environment was welcoming and non-judgmental.
Erin Bennett, former PhD Student, University of California - Berkeley
