Thank you so much for everything. It was great learning with you. I loved your gentle and compassionate way of teaching. It made a difference for me.

Thank you again for putting S. on the right track. It was phenomenal how the time management, organizational, and study skills and habits you taught her have served her ever since.

I was just thinking of you and all the help and support you gave C. She has flourished. Successful at work, happy in marriage, and a constant, fluent reader. And you are to be so credited. I realize this is a little out of the blue, but you had such a positive impact and it bears repeated thanks.

R doesn’t love the craft of writing and perhaps she never will. But over the course of this school year I have seen her gain so much confidence in her various writing voices and I’m absolutely certain that the targeted practice she has gotten with you has played a large role. R’s literacy teacher said her reading comprehension and short-writing scores improved by leaps and bounds this year. As an example, she had to write a 1-page speech to deliver at her graduation. I’m not supposed to see the results until the ceremony, but it was so gratifying to watch her execute the form of the piece: she sat down without complaining, wrote out some notes, wrote a first draft, and did what looked like two passes of editing (I was only snooping from the couch). This is a huge change in both attitude and result from last year. We’ll certainly maintain a strong interest in helping R continue to acquire these skills but I wanted to thank you once again for the role you have played.
