Teaching

“Nothing but positive feedback for Sarah. She’s really good with communication and clearly puts forward so much of her energy in everything she does. I looked forward to every class I’ve had with her and the time spent in session would go by so quickly for me. Sarah was wonderful when it came to listening to students and allowing space for discussions to happen, as none of them felt forced to me. I can’t imagine teaching courses over Zoom, but Sarah was spectacular at keeping the classes engaging and relevant to our interests. The fact that we had more than one major in this class and—from what I can tell—we ALL felt as though this class was beneficial and great says a lot.”

“Thank you so much, Sarah, for bestowing us with such treasured information. Honestly, I needed this class more than I knew, and you taught it with such enthusiasm, that it was hard to not be excited every class. I feel lucky to have learned from you and I hope to work with you one day.”

“Sarah, you have been an amazing teacher. You clearly know what you are talking about, and have the experience to back up your claims, which does a lot to instill trust in the material we were presented with. And maybe most importantly, you were so, so supportive of all of us. There was not a single moment when I felt scared or insecure about asking questions or offering comments, and that is because you nurtured a highly loving teacher-student relationship. You were always understanding and accommodating of when we were struggling, which frustratingly cannot be said for all the teachers at our school. You were just the best, and I hope I get to learn from you again!”

“Sarah was extremely nice and she made me feel comfortable talking in class. She clearly knows what she’s talking about and it was cool to hear about her experiences.”

“I thought Sarah was transparent and passionate. She did a good job of relating and eliciting a response.”

“Sarah was super friendly, approachable and open. Answered questions readily & in depth and got us all involved which was great.”

“Thank you so much for today. You made it fun and so interesting. You are beyond smart - you blew me away. It was also really wonderful to be in such a supportive environment - that is not the norm. I’d love to take more classes from you in the future.”

“I cannot begin to thank Sarah Moshman enough for the immersive experience during Women’s History Month shared with our students at Wingate University. The comments I received from students after her 2-day artist-in-residence visit affirmed that the workshop, classroom discussion and film screenings with a moderated conversation were inspiring and urging. Not only did she provide students with notable, insightful and valuable information and tools; but she provided direction, and a message for our students at Wingate University to support and learn more about women’s roles and significance in society. She shared a moment with students during the moderated discussion of the Empowerment Project Screening, where she shared with one of her crew members this powerful notation that “[W]e are all a journey. We are all in process” - referencing that no one is perfect, but we all have this continued quest to achieve our purpose and it looks different for everyone. Her authentic and selfless attitude allowed students to engage in asking questions and wanting to make a difference in their own way.”

“You don’t always get teachers who actively work in the subject you’re studying. I felt like Sarah always had very helpful and insightful advice that’s hard to get from a book or google search. She made documentary filmmaking seem doable and that’s inspiring!”

“If every little girl had a role model like Sarah looking them in the eye and telling them, “Go. Do. Be.” the scales of justice in the cinematic realm would tell a different tale than they currently do.”
