"I just wanted to let you know that, through your tutoring, I was able to pass my test at the University of XXXXX. Thank you for your help because I felt it made a world of difference. I even used XXXXXXXXXX for the whole test, as you recommended."
"Thank you for the session last night. When I checked in with you . . . I
was pleasantly surprised to see [my student] interested and attentive to the
lesson and eager to continue. As I have mentioned, he has always
struggled with English, and it was if he had been given the 'secrets' or
'keys' to a great mystery. He announced on the way home that he has a new
appreciation and understanding of English and was excited to talk about what
he had learned. . . . Thank you for inspiring my son; he has a fresh and
excited outlook on English, which, as a parent, does my heart good [because] it's hard to see a child struggle."
"Thank you for your commitment--the girls really enjoy being with you.
It's a blessing that we finally have someone like you with amazing skills to
teach the girls. I have been waiting all these years to find someone with
your wonderful gifts of English teaching. It’s actually quite exciting for
them to be able to learn these skills so they can express themselves."
“Sitting in and listening to you has been a real treat for a
literature-lover like me. I told [the student's] parents that maybe I
should have paid some of their fees because I [enjoyed] the entire time." [This person sat in on some sessions in order to translate for the parents, who spoke English only in a limited way.]
“Thanks for your help. I believe we did a really good thing in asking you
to team up with us because [the student] has come a long way in the short
time you have been tutoring her.”
