Hi,
In one word, I am impressed. For the last ten years I taught people who refuse to do Arithmetic at all, and I am amazed that your students work SYNCHRONOUSLY . The level of these problem is pretty high. I failed to pass a "Setting" page or I did not receive a confirmation of registration. That is why I interrupted you with my question. Any way, that was a great experience. Thank you. (Victor A., mathematics professor)

Thank you for teaching me the last two years!!!(Christine Z. from San Ramon, CA)

Hi Cleo,
We had a great experience at the college this morning -great for the children. I am so happy you suggested it for us.
I am also just so grateful we found you as a math teacher. The kids are learning so much and they love having you as a teacher. I just feel so blessed that you are helping them in this regard. Thank you. See you next week!

Hi Cleo,
Thank you for kindly allowing me to sit in your class together with my son and other students. I am interested in math myself and I have learned a lot from your class. I am very impressed with your math skill, especially your ability of solving difficult problem in easy and graceful way. Both my kids are enjoying your classes.
Thanks for teaching my kids!

Thanks Cleo. My son, is really enjoying your classes....he said that he wishes that he could meet with you twice a week! Thanks again. Best, Ken (October, 2010)

I wanted to say thank you for being so supportive of me during the college season. I really could not have tackled the math problems by myself and I couldn't have gotten to Berkeley if not for your help. And you are the only teacher I know with such a good heart and caring nature. I could not thank you enough. Celia. (December, 2009)

This is Victor's father. I briefly talked to you last Sunday. Victor had one session of AMC10 training with you over the past summer. Thanks for your teaching. Victor admires your quick response to the difficult math problems. We decided to enroll him for the next session. Although I have talked to him on the importance of the diligent practice as a matheletes, when temptation comes, entertainment often wins over the math practice. Since he respects you, could you sometime give him more encouragement and tell him the importance of the practice?

I got my scores back for the October SAT and I got an 800 in Math! I just wanted to say thank you for all the help and support that you gave me in the class. It really helped me achieve this score. Thanks, Jenny

Hi, How are you doing? My son learnt a lot from your AIME classes, and he likes the way of your teaching. He wants to learn more math during the summer vacation. So he applied Ross and Canada/USA Mathcamp. He got accepted by both camps. We don't know which camp is better for him, and would like to get your opionions before making the decision. Thank you for your advice! Jenny

Dear Cleo, out of all the teachers I've met, you're the most wise and kind. Thank you for everything you've taught me, I could feel the improvement along the way. I will not lose my motivation, look forward to see you again.

Hello,
I want to thank you for all the help and confidence you gave me over the summer. The score I received on the October 6th exam was higher than 730, which was my first score. Your help and confidence (though I added some humor to the problems during the real exam) caused me to receive possibly a good score. I know you are in suspense wanting to know what I received so I shall tell you.
The score that I received on the MATH SAT II C exam on October 6th, 2007 is as follows: 800
Yup.
Again, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me during the summer. Now, I got to go to class.
Thanks for all the help!

Hi,
Would like to let you know R. got 100% in his chem final exam that covered all the materials in last semester. His 1st semester grade is B due to poor grade in the earlier tests. Now he has much higher confidence to do better in the 2nd semester.
Thank you so much again to help guide my son on the right track!
Best, Jun

Hello, Remember me from the chemistry review day? I took my test in december and got my score back. I got 800! Thanks for your help. Kathy

Dear Ms. Borac,
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I first took your SAT II class! Now, I'm half way through my first year in college.
Remember I mentioned that I have a younger brother? He now has to go through the same process I went through and he's busy preparing for the different tests. My mom was wondering if you are still prepping SAT II math classes because my brother could really use your help.
I highly recommended you to him because I think your teaching style is unique. Please let me know if you have classes or private sessions! Look forward to hearing from you, Ms. Borac! Thank you so much.

Hi Cleo,
Thank you very much for giving us your feedback about math class. It is very helpful for us to know how they are doing and what we can do to support them. It takes time for kids to enjoy doing the math problems, and I am sure the math class will help to build kid's confidence and useful skills for the years to come. We will talk in the summer to decide what is the best setting or the class.Have a wonderful summer, Lily

Hi, Cleo,

How are you? The school is over this week, and R is heading to UC Berkeley with 42 other Gunn students. After four years of anxiety, we finally feel a little relaxed and happy with the results. When we recall R's struggles in high school and you provided timely advice and direct help to propel R to the next level, we are so grateful to you - all the time!
We plan to travel to China soon to see family members and friends, and also go the World Expo in Shanghai for a few days.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful summer! Keep in touch and take care,
J, June 2010

Thank you for all your time and care during my college testing period. My results for SAT II math was significantly improved. My results for November Math II was 710, much better than I had expected. Again, thank you for everything. (:

Hi Ms.Borac, Helen really likes the way you teach. We feel she is so fortunate to have you as her teacher. Helen will take AMC8 and AMC 10 this year. She took them last year from her school. These tests are required to take for some of the students in her school. She got 23/25 on AMC8 and 110 on her AMC10. I think Helen needs some traning for her to get better score. Right now she is in good hand.
