Feedback/Testimonials

Student Testimonials:

This email is to thank you for your time and work helping me plan my school assignments. You have made a difference in the end of my school year and I appreciate that.
I just want to thank you so much for all the support you gave me. Working with you was one of my brightest times of grade 10. Thank you so much.
Grade 10 is hard! Especially at the end, there is a whole bunch of projects and tests that you have to cram for! Good thing you guys are there to help us! Seriously. I wouldn't be able to do as well as I did without the SSC! Thanks so much!!
I’m so grateful for all your help these past few years. I honestly wouldn’t be finished right now without your support (I’d probably still be stuck in Social Studies 10, haha!). You’ve been such a steady source of encouragement through all the ups and downs, and it’s made a huge difference. I wish I could take your guidance with me into college. You’ve helped me get to this point, and I’m so thankful.
I wanted to say thank you very much for everything you have done for me to support me and help me through this process. It was very difficult for me to have so much on my plate and the supportive words from you helped a lot. I am very grateful to have met you and have you on my support team and I wish you all the best. Thank you.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me with Chemistry 11 in June! I did end up finishing before July and got a 96% on my unit test. I don't think I could have stayed concentrated and optimistic without you! Getting that done really helped motivate me to then get my math done, which is now also finished! This really helped position me so that I have a chance at finishing school this next semester. I will miss you and appreciate working with you! Besides getting some goals met it's been great to have a mentor and someone to be able to look up to. Hearing about your adventures and travels has really inspired me to have adventures of my own!
The SSC is a very great thing for all the students, and I appreciate your support! It is really awesome to know that there is someone that can help when we get stuck!
Amazing help. I wish I had reached out sooner. 10/10 recommend!
I really love being able to ask questions without shame of 'you should already know this' or 'it's so easy'.
I always love how the EA asks how I am and seems genuinely interested. She keeps things light and makes sure I have a stronger understanding of what I am learning. If I am not understanding, she always finds a way to make sure I leave with a more comfortable grasp on math.

Parent Testimonials:

We are loving the tutors at SSC!
Thank you! I have seen a big improvement in her work and I know a big part of that is because you have been working with her.
Thanks so much for guiding R__ & J__ in learning to set up their own schedules. You have played such an important role in our homeschooling this year! I am grateful how often they are able to meet with you to make that connection and build those relationships. You make the meetings so enjoyable! I can see that you have become and will continue to be one of their biggest supporter in the rest of their schooling.
I wanted to let you know that K__ was excited after last week's session with you. She said, “I finally understand long division!”
We are so, so grateful for all your help this year. (Student) would NOT have made it through maths 9 without your much needed and much appreciated support!
Thank you for everything you are and do for my kid!!! You have been a true blessing to this experience and to our family. Appreciate you in every way!
Wow, wow, wow!! I wanted to reach out to you and thank you so much for gift of offering support for students through the school. Instead of E__ feeling overwhelmed and not enjoying science she was actually excited!
I wanted to check in and let you know that J__ submitted her final project for Accounting, thus completing the course. I am beyond thrilled. Thank you for all of your support over the years. We truly appreciate it.
T__ is LOVING meeting with you. She asked if she could meet with you more than once a week. That is a very good sign. So, thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much for your care and gentle heart when working with E__ in math. We appreciate and are beyond grateful for the ministry of the SSC.
M__ LOVED meeting you. She came out beaming! Thank you SO much for all your work this year….you are such a gift!
You have been such an amazing help for A__ getting the wheels turning on becoming more creative in his story writing. I really appreciate your help!
Thank you. I know that was a lot of work and wasn’t easy for J__ to be held accountable but appreciate your enthusiasm and effort into helping her set and meet her goals.
We enjoyed meeting with you. We appreciate your insight and direction. I also truly appreciate how friendly, relatable and welcoming you were with I__. Thank you so much for all your help. It's been amazing working with you to help I__ improve his writing, organize his thoughts, and structure them on paper. I learned a lot too.

Feedback from HCOS Staff:

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the work that you and the rest of the SSC EA team do! What a gift to the whole of HCOS!
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for your work with (Student). I saw in the notes that you were able to connect with him and get him engaged today — even when Mom thought she would have to cancel. This is a HUGE win and a great picture of how important that connection piece is. I appreciate your genuine care and the obvious impact that you are having on our students and their families. I also really appreciate your note-taking — it is so helpful for teachers to hear how things are going!
The SSC EA created a warm, inviting and safe-feeling space for my student. He was all smiles and tried multiple times to engage a conversation about my students likes and tried to connect with similar experiences. He gave good examples and offered suggestions for safe, teacher-friendly AI use. He spoke about student services outside of HCOS and how AI can also be used for college and university applications, once informed that my student was graduating this year.
You met with one of my students for the first time and Mom told me today how wonderful the experience was. The student felt built up and encouraged in her abilities. She appreciated how you explained things to her and how you boosted her confidence. Mom reported that after she met with you she worked on her math and was actually giggling about it. You have no idea what an answer to prayer this is. I have been encouraging this student to try the Student Success Centre for the last 3 years. She has been extremely hesitant and it is a very big deal that not only was she was willing to meet online with an EA — but that she felt so good about it!! Thank you for your amazing work!
I was talking with a parent today whose daughter just started accessing the SSC and she RAVED about you. Her daughter is pretty shy and was nervous about getting help and Mom said you were amazing. You made a connection with her right away and put her at ease. They also really appreciated how well you explained things to her and that the appointment with you really boosted her confidence. Thank you for doing such a great job!
I really appreciate all the extra time spent to help this hard-working student be as successful as possible in this Math course.
