Here's an email I just received the other day, edited for privacy:
Hi John, You tutored my daughter at the beginning of the year before the shutdown. With all the cancellations, she had all but given up on taking the SAT at all. Her best friend went to a small town to take the test, and invited Jasmine to come along. So Jasmine decided to register and finally sat for the SAT. She received her scores back this morning and earned a 1590. Her first time! I just wanted to tell you this and say thank you for your work with her! I hope you are well and are weathering these times intact. Best, [Student's mother's name] Click here!
