From students:

"It is time to thank you for all your hard work and help over the years. For the past five years you have made all the difference in may academic career. Mathematics has always been something that I have struggled with, but because of you, I have been so much more successful! I have been to many different tutors for all different subjects, SAT classes and more, and I have never found somebody that can teach the way you do. You explain material in a way that I can actually understand, and I can't begin to tell you how important that has been for me. I am not a very quick learner most of the time, and while most people would get frustrated with me, you are always so patient (or at least you seem like it). I remember the very first time I went to you, in the 7th grade and I was so mad at my mom because I didn't think I needed a math tutor. I was embarrassed and sad because I thought I was the only kid that needed a math tutor. As I found out later, I wasn't! After the first few sessions with you, I began to notice a big difference in my grades. I used to get C's on tests and quizzes as an overall grade, but after spending one hour a week with you, my grades gradually climbed to B's and even A's. It was such an amazing feeling, and I owe it all to you. Thank you so much!"

"Throughout my high school career you have been one of the few people that I could always go to talk to about anything and share my feeling completely honestly with.  I really apprciate you helping me get through math over the years but even more so, thank you so much for always being there for me."

"Thank you so much for everything.  I couldn't have done it without you.  You are amazing."

From parents:

"Thank you for continuing to be the graceful connection between our son and math.  It's made a big difference for him.  We are grateful."

"I think, in spite of herself, this girl is going to college next year.  And I have you in large part to thank for that!"
