I want you to know how much I appreciate your class. Before this year, I was always scared of math, but you make me excited to come to class with your fun, interactive ways of teaching. You have helped me become a more confident student by showing me that it is okay to make mistakes—in fact, you’ve taught me that mistakes are just part of the learning process. You make me feel cared for by always having a warm greeting at the door, and for taking the time to explain a concept in a new way when I’m stuck. Thank you for not just teaching me numbers, but for believing I can solve any problem."
