Mr. Thomas:
A special thank you for your assistance with a spreadsheet project that I needed for work; you were able to provide me with valued assistance from functions and formulas and some of those functions were quite challenging and quite unfamiliar.
I know that you burned the midnight oil to speed the turnaround of my many questions back to me and I am very grateful and inspired by your knowledge and work ethic.
Thank you for your valued assistance; you are on my speed dial and Rolodex.
With great appreciation,

My children were having difficulty in European History. Sam spent four lessons with them and their grades improved. He was generous with his time and remains a close family friend even after my children graduated.

Ms. Dany is a blessing to our child. By January, the teachers were discussing retaining Preethi. We just got the word that Preethi is ready for third grade and writing better than all of her peers. We look forward to continuing into the future with our classes and Preethi's younger brother!
