Dear Tersha,
I want to thank you for your work with my daughter Arianna, she really likes your teaching, your enthusiasm and your passion. You have been able to transform a “hard” topic for Arianna into interesting and funny moments. I also recognise the enormous progress which Arianna has made in the managing of English language and I am sure that Arianna will be able to face next school period with fewer problems thanks to your lessons and passion.
Thanks and good luck for everything,
Felice
