To Whom It May Concern

It is a pleasure to write a letter on behalf of Pedro Gutierrez, an intelligent and determined young man. As
his instructor in my Math II class, I can say that I have learned a lot about him since the beginning of the
school year. I’ve learned about his dedication, passion for learning, and challenges.

Pedro will frequently ask for help if he has trouble on a math problem. Once we started learning about
exponential equations, I helped him with graphing exponential equations and how to identify them. When
we worked on finding and graphing quadratic functions. I spent some time with him explaining how to
find each of the variables from the graph and how to graph the quadratic equation using the formula. I’ve
also helped him with several Trigonometry problems. When he had trouble finding the missing angle of
an acute or obtuse triangle, he attended my tutorials for several days. Pedro told me which parts he had
trouble on and I assisted him step by step. He was easy to work with and he was being respectful,
attentive, and cooperative.

Pedro is always motivated to perform well in school because he knows his future and dreams depend on
it. When Pedro has a hard time, he is quick to attend tutorials for help. He makes sure he understands
everything he is presented with to ensure that he gets an excellent grade on his tests. His motivation and
problem solving skills will get him to where he wants to be. These attributes will aid him on his way to
becoming an Electrical Engineer and I full confidence in him. I’m certain that his math skills will apply
directly to his future career of being an Electrical Engineer.

It is an honor to write a recommendation for Pedro Gutierrez, he’s confident, smart, and will always try
his best no matter what. He follows directions easily and executes them well. I recommend Pedro
Gutierrez for employment, his intelligence and dedication will take him where he needs and wants to be.

Sincerely
