Hello Mr Alex, since tomorrow is the last lesson, I thought this would. write you this card to express my gratitude an appreciation and appreciation to you. When I joined your lesson, I was a student toiling Biology really badly and constantly getting Us. I was unmotivated to study. I only started to understand the subject much better and started enjoying it after I attended your class. I’m really thankful for the way you made the content workload so much more digestable for us and trying your best to make the subject interesting! Also, your notes and worksheets as well as consultations have been really helpful to me πŸ™‚ Thanks for giving me the confidence to do well in Bio. I am really going to miss your lessons haha. Thank you Mr Alex!

Hi Mr. Alex, I heard that you are leaving the college at the end of this year. Thank you for teaching us Project Work and you made every lesson very entertaining, I always look forward to all your lessons. Your jokes and the way you describe concepts forever make me laugh and forget about the stress. I still remember during the Oral Presentation period you were dancing to K-Pop songs which I think is super entertaining. I think you are the best teacher I had and I’m sad that you are leaving. All the best in your future endeavors!

Thank you Mr. Alex for the past few months of intense last minute preparations for the A levels. We know that we are weak at Biology but you never fail to encourage us and inspire us and keep us entertained every single lesson. We look forward to every single lesson, even if it’s at 10pm! That being said, we honestly appreciate you rushing over to our place after a long day of work to have lessons with us till literally past midnight! We will miss your one of a kind sense of humor. Hope we will cross path again soon! A very Big Thank You!
