Good Morning Dan! I wanted to reach out and let you know that Ben thought you were terrific. He came away saying he thinks you’re a great teacher. Hopefully that will play out with his Physics Subject Test score. Fingers crossed and thanks so much.

Hi Dan! I got a 690 on the Physics Subject Test, which I am very happy with (especially considering where I began!) Thank you again for not only the excellent course, but also the extra help and encouragement I needed to keep with the test despite its initial difficulty.

Dan, I ended up getting an 800. So much of the stuff was outside of what we covered in my Physics class so the course helped me a ton. Thanks so much.
