to Daniel Stern, owner
Metro Academic Prep
"I honestly can't thank you enough. Your help during the last month of this semester has helped moved me from a marginal C-/C to a solid B in what amounts to three sessions each lasting roughly the length of a single class period. There is no chance I'll pull that B to an A with the final, my test scores earlier in the semester have made that impossible. However, if I get 93% or higher, I'm looking at a *strong* B+.
Moving from a C- to a B+ in less than a month means a lot to my GPA, but much more than that, for the first time all semester I feel confident with the material. Even through the constraining medium of a chat window, you've illuminated concepts left hazy after hours of private, face-to-face conversation with my professor and various tutors at my college. You have the gift of clarity.
Thank you for sharing that gift with me. Seriously."Zeke
