Testimonials: “…(Gayla’s) classes are differentiated to support students’ needs…she challenges them to do more than they think they can and she is self reflective and will change her approach if the students’ are not learning. She works from the philosophical base that if the students are not learning it is because what is being taught is not connecting with them. I would like Gayla to stay at East West. I do not think that a Principal can give a higher recommendation than desiring a teacher to continue. Our loss will be another school’s gain.” - Sandra Chipps, Principal, East West International School, Phnom Penh, Cambodia “To say that I am very impressed with Gayla’s abilities is an understatement. She has proven to be a remarkable professional. She has donated hours and hours beyond the required hours…has been actively involved in helping offer important suggestions, willing to get her hands dirty by working hard to complete a task and as a result helped make necessary changes in our school system.” – Peggy Arnold-Hoobler, School Counselor/Supervisor, La Veta School, La Veta, Colorado, USA “Ms. Gayla is one of the best and most outstanding teachers at the East West International School. She is full of enthusiasm and is a hard working person. Because of her enthusiasm and kindness I have hired her to teach both of my sons at home as a tutor after school.” - Hout Mok, Parent, East West International School, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
