Would this be the right thing to do?

<p>At the end of the quarter, I wanted to send a short thanks via email (along with other info she wanted) to a TA at a university. I don't usually ask for help at all but I needed to when I did poorly on my first midterm. Being naturally shy, when I did I would speak quietly and in the heat of the moment I would just answer with short sentences -- yes, no, thank you, etc. At times it would be awkward/uncomfortable. I also emailed questions and found the teacher's answers very helpful and it helped me improve from scoring .5 pts below the median on the first midterm and then scoring 23 pts above the median on my second midterm, boosting my grade from a 3.4 to a 3.7 in a class that was curved at a 3.0. I wished I could have been more sincere and showed how much I appreciated the help. Would this be okay?</p>

<p>Name,</p>

<p>Thank you for your generous help this quarter. I truly appreciate your willingness to work with my project; your clear and detailed explanations to my concerns aided me greatly. In the end, it was a direct reason why I was able to improve and exceed my goal for this class!</p>

<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p>Since I'm not expecting a response, what do you think? Honest answers, please. Thanks.</p>

<p>Sounds great; I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. I *really *doubt they’d react negatively to receiving thanks from a student.</p>

<p>I think that’s a lovely idea actually. Something like that would brighten my day for sure.</p>

<p>Why wouldn’t it be a good idea? I am sure the TA will appreciate it a lot!</p>
