"Please lead my lectures, you do a better job of explaining things than my lecturer :(" 

"You help me understand a lot of these concepts better! Thanks!"

"Great job!"

"Simon was a great TA who put in a great deal of effort to help us all learn. There was not a question left unanswered despite whatever the scope of the course may be. He contributed a lot to the depth of my learning, whenever something was not clicking I’d essentially run to Simon with the full confidence that he’d be able to mend that gap for me. I recall our first tutorial where he was teaching us about absolute values, and solving was the easy bit but the restrictions were what always got me and I remember the exact moment he mended that gap for me."

"You're the best! Thanks so much for all your hard work!"

"Awesome job! :) Thanks for all the help."

"Really does want us to learn – we love you Simon!"

"You should be an instructor [lecturer]!!
You are such a great teacher!!" 

"Great teaching concepts"

"Keep it up! Very helpful tutorial."

"The lessons are so helpful."

"Keep up the awesome work!"
