Random testimonials from tutoring (have countless others from teaching):

BM: You took me from a 52 in MCR3U to an 89

It was actually funny she got her schedule today immediately looked at it and the first thing she did was tell me that I needed to get in touch with you so we could set up tutoring with you immediately since she has math

Went from failing to 89%, so just wanted to say thanks again for all your help and support it really made a world of difference! Quadmester is over as of Monday, hopefully it’s ok if we are in contact next year?? Honestly I wish you could teach in our board. You get the math, your great with the kids, you've been amazing. Thank you so much for all your help! KW

Hi Eric, B was blowing up my phone earlier today excited that he understood and rocked a quiz in math class today!!!

I *really* appreciate that Br. has found you… Last week we had a good chat and he really likes learning with/from you even though he has no desire to be at school.

B came to the car with a huge smile on his face and said you helped straighten everything out. Thank you! He found your teachings to be very helpful and he would like to continue throughout the quadmester. K

Thank you! My exam actually went really well. After studying with you, i felt good going into it.

Thank you for all your help!

Thank you so much for your work with x. You do a great job of walking him through the material and I know he appreciates your help.

We'll no doubt be in touch soon for more sessions.

Thanks again for all your support Eric.

Hey Eric, just wanted to say thank you for all the help with X the last few weeks! We are just waiting on his final results still but your help definitely made a difference! I will keep your contact info and be in contact when he does grade 11 math next year! Thanks again! AB

For a student who was drastically failing all his courses, then asked me for help late in the year:

Hi Eric,

I just wanted you to know that with your help, x managed to pass his exams and get his grades up high enough in class to get passing letter grades (he passed Chem. and did really well in Math: he received a 70% on his exam (which ended up being in the top 1/3 of his class!) We can't thank you enough: x is so grateful he doesn't have to go to summer school!! Anyway, we just wanted to let you know that he passed :) This certainly would not have happened without your help!

Thanks again,

J. and T.

Hi Eric,

I hope all is well at your end. X has gained a lot from you during these past few months. He has gained much more clarity in math pared to before. And all the credit goes to you for that! :)

Unfortunately I have to hold off X’s tutoring for awhile, because of a personal reason. I will be contacting you afterwards to check your availability at that point in time.

Thanks again for all of your efforts. Please feel free to let me know if anyone needs a mendation of you. I would be happy to give it :)

Regards,

Y
