"Thank you so much for sending the report.
We’ve shared it with Sota’s parents in Japan as well.
It really gives a clear picture of how he’s been working on his tasks each time.
Sota often tells us how great Isabella is as a tutor.
We really appreciate her patience and the way she supports him.
We truly feel that Sota’s progress so far is thanks to her help.
He was also able to achieve in the recent NCEA internal exam.
As he now starts preparing for the external exams, we’d really appreciate your continued support in helping him work on his weaker areas.
Thank you."
