Orlando “I hired Mr. Walters to teach Art History at IADT. He stood out from many candidates for his depth of knowledge in the subject matter and teaching experience. In the classroom, Mr. Walters shines - he is passionate about Art and Art History. He easily inspires students, and arouses their interest in subjects that tend to be foreign to many. He’s engaging, professional, and works hard to ensure every student succeeds in his class. I have known Thomas for over seven years. He is very professional, expert in the subject matter, and student-centric. His style of teaching is very interactive, engaging, and makes it fun. He goes above and beyond to ensure student success. I would highly recommend Mr. Walters in any educational setting.”September 6, 2017 Show less
