To the Eklektika Methodology Team,

We, the undersigned students, are writing to express our sincere support for our teacher, Derek, and to kindly ask that you reconsider the decision to end his collaboration with the school.

Derek is not just another teacher—he is someone who has put his heart and soul into helping us improve, bringing a fresh, personalized approach to every lesson. He has never treated teaching as just a job but rather as a commitment to his students' success.

Unlike many teachers who follow standard materials, Derek has gone the extra mile to create custom textbooksspecifically tailored to each student’s proficiency level, areas for improvement, and topics of interest. This level of effort is not something that can be easily replaced. His lessons are never one-size-fits-all; they are engaging, adapted to each student’s needs, and structured in a way that makes learning enjoyable and effective.

Beyond this, Derek has also pioneered innovative methods, integrating AI-powered learning tools to help us practice outside of class, improve our speaking skills, and stay motivated. His dedication has kept many of us engaged in ways we’ve never experienced before.

What makes his situation even more heartbreaking is that, despite his professionalism, he has been quietly dealing with an extremely difficult personal challenge. For months, Derek has been caring for his terminally ill dog, Jenny, making daily trips to the vet, hoping for a recovery—only to now face the devastating reality that she has only a short time left. Even with this emotional weight, he never let it interfere with our learning. When emergency situations arose, any missed lessons were always rescheduled and made up. He remained present, engaged, and committed to us, even when his personal world was falling apart.

We understand the importance of reliability and structure within the school, and we do not seek to challenge its policies. However, we strongly believe that Derek’s commitment, his students’ clear progress, and the unique contributions he has made far outweigh any administrative delays he may have had.

If continuing the cooperation is truly not an option, we humbly ask for fairness and understanding. At the very least, we kindly request that Derek be given a 30-day notice period. This would allow him the chance to transition into another opportunity without facing sudden financial hardship. Given his dedication to the school and his students, we feel that this is the least that can be done to ensure a professional and humane resolution.

Derek has given us so much, and now, we are asking you to give him the chance he deserves—whether that means reconsidering the decision or, at the very least, offering him time to adjust.

We stand by him, and we sincerely hope you will, too.

Sincerely,
[Signatures of Students]
