Parent Testimonial
"We're so incredibly grateful that you joined the teaching team!
You have improved our son's relationship with math, which was a daily battle the previous year.
You have helped him overcome issues in his IEP in just a few months, when we saw very little progress in the first year of his IEP.
You bring so much joy and light to the classroom, and I love to hear about my son's day and what fun things he did in Math and Science.
It's not just about skills and scores. Thank you so much for creating a learning environment that allows these kids to feel encouraged, confident, and capable!"

"Dear Mr. James,
I want to thank you so, so, so much for helping me succeed and
get through chemistry. It has been one of the better classes I've ever taken and I want to thank you
again for making me think that way about it.
I have loved working with you for as long as I have (even before taking your class officially) and I seriously look forward to working with you.
I want to say again thank you for being the best. Hope you have a great weekend and even better summer!"
