“Working with Galya in my senior year was an absolute blessing. Galya leads not only by instruction but by example – never asking fencers to do exercises she won’t do herself, always keeping perfect form and advising others on how to do the same. Galya’s lessons build new skills over time, not only improving coordination and focus but also introducing entirely new techniques while exploring the best tactical situations in which to employ them. I grew tremendously working with her and would advise any with the opportunity to do the same.”
