"The tutoring session with you was very productive. It's the first time I've ever heard my son come away enthusiastic from an English lesson. Thank you so much."
"Even though we didn’t get to spend a ton of time together, the impact you had on us was huge and still stays with us."
"I learned a lot with you. Thank you for motivating me throughout the semester. Thank you so much for everything. I love the way you teach."
"Your patience in helping me understand citing, paraphrasing, and quoting has been invaluable. You made learning so enjoyable, and your warm teaching style will always be remembered."
"Apart from a lot of things I learned in and about languages, you made me think about myself and the things I wanna do as a person. And there are not many profs who would teach you that."
