Dear Marquis' parents,

Marquis was so engaged, excited, and motivated to learn, throughout today's English language lesson. His conversational skills (and confidence) are developing so very well. Wow, he is such a joy to teach and he challenges me to be the best teacher I can be, for him. Marquis is the type of exceptional student that enriches my own teaching experience and strengthens my own professional development. Thank you, Marquis, you are awesome!
