I met Christine four years ago as my SAT tutor, and after testing she supported me throughout the entire college application process. She guided me precisely through the application season and helped with all my essays, suggesting the best enhancements to my writing while preserving the original message. Now, as I attend UW-Madison on a scholarship, she remains the person I reach out to whenever I feel that I am stressed or struggling.

As we've gotten to know each other better, I've noticed how she stands out from other teachers and tutors. Beyond her professional tutoring and writing skills, she is a great friend who is always willing to support and listen to me, offering guidance on both life and academic confusions. She has helped me discover my interests, and we always have countless topics to discuss during lunch or when she picks me up and we drive around for hours just talking. To me, Christine is more than a tutor; she is a life mentor who is always patient, ready to listen, and provide thoughtful insights. I never hesitate to share my thoughts with her because I know I can fully trust her to respect and understand my perspectives.

Thank you for your friendship Christine and I look forward to our next long drive together.
