About Me
Susana Santos
Hello! My name is Susana Santos, and I'm so glad to be working with you! I have been teaching the High School Equivalency (i.e., GED/HiSET) Class at Los Angeles Southwest College , and I really enjoy teaching. In my time away from work, I like to spend time with my family, hike and travel.
I believe the instructor-student relationship is critical. My number one goal is to support your success in this class and in your college career, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me throughout this class!

My number one priority is your success in this course, so I want you to know I am available to you. The best way to contact me is via the Canvas Inbox. I will reply within 24 hours, Monday - Friday. Messages sent over the weekend will be responded to by Monday at the latest.
