"I just wanted to say thanks so much for all of your help! I wound up getting a B+ on the final, which means an A for the semester!!! ...i'm exceedingly happy, and owe my success to you! Thank you so much for all of your help, this year, and last. I really liked getting to work with you again!"
"... you may see us again in the future!! Thanks for everything you did. You went way out of your way contacting (our son’s) teacher and everything else you did to help him. We were so impressed with you and so much appreciate all of your efforts."
"Judi Newman was a very upbeat and compassionate person to work with my child. She used simple examples and methods that my daughter could easily follow. She worked with her at her level and was able to increase her grade point average. But most importantly, Judi was very in tune and had a good working knowledge of the Math programs in the Naperville school system. This made a significance difference in what was expected from (my daughter), in her homework, class work, test and quizzes. All in all Judi was a great Math tutor."
"Dear Judi,
Thank you for helping (my son). He really liked your teaching style and will come back to you for any help needed in the future." (And then this mom sent me flowers!)
(Written by an adult student who returned to college after 20 year hiatus)
"Judi is a great math tutor. Her patience is unsurpassed and her knowledge is amazing. When Judi would show me an algebra problem, she would break it down step by step, in a process that made learning so much easier. Math has always been a great struggle for me, but after spending time with Judi, I gained the confidence and knowledge that I needed. I would recommend Judi to anyone who needs math tutoring."
From the receptionist at the college math assistance center:
"Sometimes when students arrive and find out you [Judi] are not the teacher on duty, they just turn around and leave!"
Student at the college math assistance center said:
"I’m not much of a math person, but let me tell you, I really got this. It was worth every minute."
"I think you are fabulous! (My son) told me on the ride home that you explained things very well, and that he has trouble learning in a large class. At any rate, we look forward to next week."
"Judi,
Thank you for your work with (my daughter). You gave her a lot more confidence and a much better understanding in general. I’m sure we will be talking to you in the fall."
"I don't know how we could have made it this far without you! I'm sure we will be in touch. Thanks again for all you have done."
"Thank you - it's working! (My daughter) just called me from school and says, 'Mom you know how smart(name of good friend) is in math...well I figured out her problem before she did'. Thanks for doing what you do... I really appreciate days like today where your kid has success."
(this next one came after I emailed some info to a calculus student’s mom about something we had trouble doing that day)
"Judi, thank you. When I told (my daughter) about your email, she laughed and said 'Judi is amazing'. She said she knew it was going to bother you until you figured it out."
"Hi Judi,
Thanks so much for all your help again! (Our daughter) has finished her final exam for honors geometry this morning. She pulled Aces on both the 1st and the 2nd semesters."
"I can't tell you how amazed we are at (our daughter's) recovery in her Math class. Thanks so much for all of your help in this matter."
(from a student who was headed for a failing grade)
"The grades for algebra were just posted and I ended up with a B-. Bottom line is I passed! Yeah! Thanks for your your help and patience. I could not have done it with out YOU!"
"My sons loved you."
Summer 2009: student who took Calc I at college summer school:
"I cannot believe my grade! I ended up getting a C on the test and a B for the class???? I have no idea how that could have happened but it did and I am so proud and so glad that I had you to help me. There are some problems and some theories that I do not understand and can probably not solve, but I feel more confident in my math skills now. I want to thank you so much for all of the help."
