Claudia Sokol, Lecturer, Spanish

A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dr. Sokol completed her BA and MA in Gastroenterology at the University of Buenos Aires. In Argentina, she spent many years dealing with patient care in hospitals and private practice. When she moved to the United States, she decided to devote her career to teaching and training medical residents and health care professionals at the most prestigious institutions in Boston.

Institutions that have been fortunate enough to know her expertise in the classroom include Boston University Medical Center, Harvard affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital and currently Northeastern University. She has been teaching at Northeastern since 1988. She taught all levels of Spanish and in 1998 started a three-year program in the Bouve College of Health Sciences teaching Spanish for the Health Care Professionals. She has also taught in the School of Business. These are some of the comments that Dr. Sokol's students have said about her: "I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in Spanish." "The professor's passion for the language and culture enhances the student's motivation to excel in the class." "Overall, I would say that this class is among the most effective Spanish classes that I have ever taken in the past six years of foreign language education in Spanish". Dr. Sokol is fluent in both Spanish and French and brings to the classroom an enthusiasm and a passion that are inspiring. Dr. Sokol has always involved herself with the students outside the classroom- taking them on visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, to local restaurants and to shows that broaden their foreign language and culture experience.
