English Second Language Tutoring Success

EXCELLENT SUCCESS LETTER -from an adult student:
“I am writing this letter to thank you for the wonderful teacher that I met here. 

Dear Ms. Sioux,

Your excellent teaching skills and courteous personality have helped me tremendously through my English language skills/essay teaching exams preparation process.

Without your helpfulness and directness, my learning process would have been more challenging. I appreciate you being stern and letting me know what I am doing wrong along with giving me ways I can correct my mistakes.

It is comforting to know that whenever I have a question you answer right away, which you know is all the time! I like that you refer to your personal work-related examples when teaching a lesson along with visual examples of different parts of language structure.

I have learned so much from you and I look forward to passing my tests. Thank you for being a remarkable teacher and I am very grateful to have you as a teacher.”

Sincerely,
S.C.

Pro Tutoring Student Success

“E. had an 83% in pre-algebra before we started tutoring with Sioux. That doesn’t sound too bad, right? But that was only because her homework was so good. She was flunking every test! After just a few weeks of tutoring, her grade is up to a 96% and her last two tests were A’s. She has so much more confidence about her math abilities. I can’t thank you enough! H.S. (parent of a 7th grader)
