Ana-Maria takes the time to get to know the students in her online French classes, and they say they get to know her, too.<\/p>\n<p>They often share that they can tell she cares about their personal well-being, not just what happens in their online classroom. Instructors like Ana-Maria help make Ecampus a space where thousands of students feel they belong and the home of dozens of top-ranked degrees online.<\/p>\n<p>Just like her, our team at Ecampus consistently goes above and beyond for those enrolled in our programs. When students call or email, they reach an enrollment services specialist, not a pre-recorded message. If they stumble or fall, we\u2019re there to pick them back up with student support from all angles.<\/p>\n<p>We know that sometimes, life can get in the way of the goals we set for ourselves, but that doesn\u2019t stop us from giving it our all. We hope it doesn\u2019t stop you either.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ready to take on your next adventure with instructors like Ana-Maria M&#8217;Enesti?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"rfi-button\" class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecampus.oregonstate.edu\/online-degrees\/topics\/\">Start your journey today.<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute read<\/span><\/span>Ana-Maria M&#8217;Enesti teaches online French classes.
