I’m Heather Davis, and I currently work as an ESL teacher. Mr. Bottita's class ... was the first time I truly saw communication theory brought to life. [Mark] made me understand that learning could be insightful, creative, and deeply engaging at the same time. What I remember most is his passion and the way he made students feel comfortable participating. He was approachable, supportive, and always intentional about connecting lessons to real experiences. That left a lasting impression on me. What’s incredible is that his influence didn’t stop with me. I carried his methods into my career as an ESL instructor. The way he explained concepts, encouraged critical thinking, and built students' confidence became the model I use with my own learners today. [Mark] didn’t just teach me; he helped shape the teacher I became. His class was genuinely impactful, and I would wholeheartedly recommend his teaching and his new summer program. He helped shape my communication skills, my confidence, and ultimately, my teaching career.
