"I wanted to let you know [my son's] score went up 120 points from his last test!! I’m in tears right now, happy tears of course, and we can’t thank you enough.  It wasn’t just the strategies you shared.  It was also your belief and encouragement that I am sure helped [my son] build the confidence and belief in himself.  He went in there knowing he could do it, and he did! I’m so proud of him and I’m so thankful to you.  

Some people are just meant to teach and build up our young men and ladies because they have a giving and sharing spirit.  You are one of those people.  Thank you so much!"
