"Three years ago, I was worried about my daughter’s writing progress. My niece, who was a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, highly recommended her teacher, Stephanie, to me. That recommendation changed everything. From the moment we started working with Stephanie, I saw my daughter transform from a STEM-focused student into a well-rounded writer. Under Stephanie’s guidance, she not only gained confidence but also achieved remarkable accomplishments, including winning a Scholastic Gold Key Award. Her AP scores speak for themselves—5s in AP English Language and Composition, AP U.S. History, and AP World History. We’ve been so happy to see her incredible progress and growth. I can’t thank Stephanie enough for the impact she has had on my daughter’s academic journey. She is truly an exceptional teacher. If you’re considering her, rest assured—you’ll be so glad you did!"

"I am really glad he is working with you. I see his grades have really improved. He has a A with 98.2%. This is really impressive. I hope he maintains this."

Your presence and guidance in both (older sister)'s and (younger brother)'s lives have been invaluable for us. I really appreciate your loving guidance and help. We are so lucky to have you. I would absolutely recommend you to all of my friends."

"Thank you for your guidance. You’ve quickly become (student)'s favorite teacher, and it’s clear that your teaching style and passion for the subject have really resonated with him. As parents, we are grateful for the positive influence you’ve had, and happy to support your work in any way we can.

Thank you again for being such an inspiring teacher!"

"It’s such a joy to read about (older sister) and (younger sister’s) progress — your detailed notes really help us see how much they’ve been learning and growing each week. We’re so happy to hear how much confidence they’ve gained, and it’s wonderful that they’re exploring poetry and creative writing in such a meaningful way. We truly appreciate the encouragement and care you’ve given them — it’s clear that your guidance is inspiring them to think deeply and express themselves with creativity. Thank you again for all your support and dedication. We’re so grateful to have you guiding them!"

I'm deeply moved by your teaching approach and encouraging method which has helped (student) to open up her heart and voice!!! This is so incredible."

"We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact you’ve had on (student)’s growth this semester. Your dedication, patience, and creativity in teaching have truly inspired him, and we’ve seen his confidence and skills in writing flourish under your guidance."

""I really don’t know how to thank you. (Student) absolutely loves your class and says she even feels smarter because of it. A good teacher is truly invaluable. We are so lucky to have you."

"The knowledge of the instructor on academic writing in science was amazing… this class focuses on providing tools and knowledge to the students in ways that will benefit them in the long term."

"Ms. Stephanie gave me a voice. As a kid, I would often have difficulty expressing myself, simply because I would become overwhelmed with all of my thoughts. When I was called on in class, the words would stop at my throat when I tried to answer. I would struggle with answering short answer questions because of all the possible correct answers I could give. It was when I started taking classes with Ms. Stephanie that I was finally able to communicate the way that I wanted. This journey did take work, but Ms. Stephanie was with me the entire way, and in the process, I gained more than knowing how to write an essay. I gained a mentor, one that I could always rely on for assistance in more than just writing, and one that I can trust."

"I began my writing journey with a defeated comment on my creative writing skills: “I don’t know how to write poems.” In reality, I had every potential to write it, I just needed the right mentor, and Ms. Stephanie was just that. Through our classes, I gained confidence and motivation, and most importantly, a powerful voice that allowed me to express my experiences through various art forms: narrative, poetry, and creative writing. Her valuable guidance opened my eyes to a world of self-expression through writing, which I will always be grateful for."

"Stephanie helped me improve my writing skills so much! She taught me useful writing techniques that I will utilize in the long run, not just during the college application process. Most importantly, she helped me gain confidence in my writing. I loved our classes together, all of them were a joy to be in!"

"During the summer, I really learned a lot from the class. You helped me not only improve my English, but also re-construct some of my value, especially in the final individual meeting. You told me Chinese spoke with Chinese accent, which is also something okay. Your statement indeed inspired me that being who you are is more important than being the person others expect you to."

"It’s so delightful to contact with you, do the assessment with you and study in your class... My best English class, ever! ... I appreciate the way you share your experience to help us live better and adapt to American culture. Remember your game to integrate learning with fun. You are so supportive, helpful and encouraging that I gradually don’t feel nervous to voice my ideas and questions. I feel much more comfortable to talk with others and give presentations under your help. Also, thank you so much for carefully delivering potentially disappointing information. I am happy with the “A-“ and I believe I can make it an “A” someday. I'll just follow your advice!"

“Thanks for your feedback and kind patience in teaching! You not only provided instructor guidance, but also offered friendship… I sincerely appreciate your work and I hope you will continue harvesting happiness from both teaching and life!

“The teacher Stephanie is an enthusiastic, warm, meticulous, friendly teacher. She is not only a teacher, she is also a friend. We love her class… It's helpful and fun! Thank for my Stephanie and the… class.”
