Thank you from the design team at Mattel

I just wanted to touch base and say thank you!  The course was fantastic and exactly what our team needed.  Even though there were only three of us in the course, we had a wide spectrum of experience and Tanya was INCREDIBLE and really unified us.  In a heartbeat, she tailored the course to our level(s) and she has a superpower for teaching.  She was so delightful and a true powerhouse of knowledge and information, and each day our group left invigorated and hungry for more.  Thank you to you both for making the course a beautiful success.  Hopefully, more to come!

Gosh David, as I said after the course, it is always the students’ energies that drive the course. I am always eager to jump on your wave – your enthusiasm, and the thoughtful questions from everyone on your team made this one of my favourite Adobe Illustrator courses presented. Deep appreciation for this note!

A compliment from Anne Scheffer about my engagement with the students

I would like to motivate for the renewal of Tanya Pretorius’s contract for 2020 (just in case!).

Apart from the fact that she is an excellent editor with excellent rapport with the students (they constantly rave to me about her), her workshop on writing skills is unique and teaches students indispensable skills in an accessible manner.

It has taken us a while to get used to her presence and it now occurs to me that she should have been invited to present her workshop to my undergraduate students as well…

In any case, thank you sincerely for your consideration!

Compliment received for editing from Stephen Faber that is so generous!

Thank you for the sterling job you have done editing, proofreading and formatting my PhD thesis. I was under the impression that editing is about checking spelling and grammar. How wrong I was!

I feel grateful and blessed that I found you and that the last part of my journey included you. Research, and especially a PhD, can be a stressful experience. You took the stress out and you waved your language wand and made me see things that I was not aware of. Your approach immediately gained my trust and from the start, I felt safe with you and my concerns about my writing disappeared. Thank you for the lessons on the side, the tips, the interest and total commitment to my work.

Thank you for enhancing my writing, for making it so much better,  for making me feel that my work is worth the while. I did not expect so much care and added value. The experience turned out to be an inspiration in itself and at the time I needed it most, to get me through the last stretch.

Thank you for your guidance and your unselfish sharing of your valuable knowledge. You give so much more than just proofreading and editing. Working with you on this project became a valuable educational experience and I thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with me.

It was a great pleasure and a privilege working with you!
