Your writing is really great, you have a real knack for fun characterization moments, but my goodness... sometimes this story gets kind of lewd. They ARE only 10 still...

Thank you for writing this fabulous long story and I loved it so much that I was pretty invested in it!
If the show had continued, I think that in some ways it would have been like this story and I loved it!

You are one of my favorite authors in fanfiction for me and though I only read Helga and Arnold stories, I believe your other stories are just as amazing and wonderful!

There were so many reactions that I had while reading this story but the main one was fangilring over the both of them and loving every moment of reading each chapter!

You are amazing and its been such a blast to read your stories and so thank you for writing them and putting them up for us. I am a definite fan of yours!
Until next time,bye!

Apparently you can only have one review per chapter, so I guess I'll put this under chapter 27, lol.

Well, I'm back! I finished reading Tutoring Arnold and Learning to be Helga for the first time back on September 24th, having read all 1.1 million words between the two stories in only 19 days. In the day or two after I finished reading, I decided to re-watch the entire series of Hey Arnold! from the very beginning of the show, especially as I hadn't watch many of the episodes in probably 15 years.

I watched the entire series, from Downtown as Fruits all the way through to The Journal and both movies (with Hey Arnold! The Movie watched where it chronologically fell in between the proper episodes of season 5), and upon watching the final episodes (and The Jungle Movie just because I enjoy it and the ending is so sweet), I immediately started reading Tutoring Arnold and Learning to be Helga all over again for a second time.

Just finished my second read through a little after 11pm on October 20th. Still an incredible and amazing story. It is such an amazing ride and so, so many sweet and heart warming and adorable and endearing moments. The second half of Snapshots is still incredibly depressing, even when I knew exactly what was coming. From The Beginning of an End all the way through until the beginning of Home, I couldn't stop repeatedly crying and sobbing. I have read many sad and even depressing stories, and usually I never have an issue, maybe as most a couple tears or watery eyes. But there is something just so sad and heartbreaking about Arnold leaving Hillwood and leaving Helga behind and, even if they're only "taking a break", essentially breaking up for 6 years, that I can't help but immediately break down in tears upon reaching and reading those parts. Nothing feels more wrong in the world than the thought of Arnold and Helga being apart, especially after they've finally confessed their loves for each other.

I thank you again for all the years and effort you spent creating and sharing Tutoring Arnold and Learning to be Helga. They are by far my favorite fanfics of all fanfic stories I have ever read. At this point, they honestly may very well have surpassed some of my favorite actual published novels and books that I have ever read, they are so good. In roughly a month and a half, I have read Tutoring Arnold and Learning to be Helga from start to finish twice, and I already want to just go back and start rereading Tutoring Arnold for the third time right this minute. These stories are that good. Thank you for writing them and thank you for sharing them. As long as this website exists and as long as these stories remain readable, I have zero doubt in my mind that I will end up reading these stories literally dozens of times between now and my dying day. I have read one or two of your other Arnold/Helga stories and I plan to read every last one of them. And I hope someday you find more of your muse to create and share new Arnold and Helga stories. I will happily read any and every Arnold/Helga story you can think up!

Even though I am incredibly late to the party, having just found these stories (TA and LTBH) around the period of Labor Day weekend, it has been a magical read these last three weeks. And yes, I literally read every word, every chapter in Tutoring Arnold and Learning to Be Helga in the last 19 days since the Wednesday after Labor Day.

I grew up watching Hey Arnold as a kid, and rediscovered it again on TV Labor Day weekend after stumbling upon a discussion on Reddit where Hey Arnold! was mentioned. That then led to me realizing that I had never seen Hey Arnold! The Movie and learning of the existence of The Jungle Movie. I watched both movies back to back that Wednesday night after work, and finally got to see Helga confess her love, Arnold "confess" back to her in TJM (I thought his confession to her could have been better, but it was a good start) and got to see them finally kiss for real! (Twice!). That began my now three week long obsession (and still going!) of looking up Hey Arnold! fanfics, during which I first discovered and read A Walk to Imagine. That then quickly led to me finding and reading Tutoring Arnold which immediately transitioned into reading Learning to Be Helga. Over a million words, 44 chapters, in just 19 days, I can only imagine just how tired you described yourself feeling after writing all this, based on how tired and worn out I feel from reading these stories.

I enjoyed these stories so much. There were so many great and hilarious moments, many more sweet and heart warming moments, and even a couple of heartbreaking moments where, even at 31 years old, I broke down crying like a baby, uncontrollably sobbing. The last half of Snap Shots made me an emotional wreck. I understand why you wrote the story that way, with the separation and taking a break, but after having my heart so full of joy for nearly three weeks now of experiencing Arnold and Helga together in happiness and love, something I had longed to see for years ever since the show on TV ended, it was something I wasn't ready for when I came to it. I almost wanted to stop reading right then and there, I wasn't sure I could continue. I knew in my heart that you wouldn't end on a terrible note like that, that their separation, their "taking a break" wouldn't last forever and they would eventually reunite. But at the time, just mere hours ago really as I type this, I was uncontrollably crying at just the simple thought of Arnold and Helga breaking up and Arnold leaving her behind while I went back to San Lorenzo with his parents.

As much as I loved the stories as a whole, I'll be honest, I'm still not sure, even after reading how thing turn out at the end of Snap Shots and Epilogue, that I'll ever be able to bring myself to read those again. I'm not sure I can emotionally put myself through those parts again. I may have to settle for stopping at the end of The Rain (or maybe the end of the Christmas story in Snap Shots as everything was still very sweet and loving up to that point). Maybe I'll be able to bring myself to read beyond that again next time I reach that point, but it'll definitely be a "when I reach that point" decision.

Meanwhile, again, I absolutely love the stories and I am already rearing to start all over again. I could honestly, even now at 1:30 in the morning, go right back to chapter 1 of Tutoring Arnold and sit here for another 3 weeks straight reading from the very beginning again. This time however, I want to try it a little differently. I want to start by watching Hey Arnold! The Movie and the final episodes of season 5 that take place chronologically after the movie up through at least the April Fool's episode. Then I'd like to start reading all over again at the beginning of Tutoring Arnold. Even though we now have The Jungle Movie for real and even if there is never a season 6 of Hey Arnold!, The Jungle Movie at least works as a very suitable closing to the entire series, I almost want to make these stories my own personal head canon for the end of the series after HA! The Movie and the final episodes of season 5. It really just feels right.

Thank you again for all the time and effort over all the years you spent creating, brainstorming, typing and sharing Tutoring Arnold and Learning to Be Helga. These 1 million words were truly a masterpiece and a journey I can't wait to read and experience again and again and again.

So romantic... I love it. I've got a lot more to read, but if this is anything like TA, I know it will get even better.

Okay, being honest, I haven't been able to get through all of this one only tutoring Arnold, but I just wanted to say that this is a wonderful story from what I've read so far. Actually, it's one of the best in the whole fandom! Great job!

God it took me FOREVER to finish this story of yours, but I loved it nonetheless.

I confess; I had to take a peek at the ending.

This is my first experience with fan fiction period. I was on a HA! bender after the Jungle Movie and delved into the internet to satisfy my appetite for something more fleshed out in regards to Arnold and Helga's future, then stumbled across this story. I was so happy to see Arnold with Helga that while I realized there was a part one I'd missed, I didn't want to leave them to go catch up (I did eventually hit pause and go blaze through Tutoring Arnold).

I've now spent about 6 hours a night for a week and a half savoring this story. Sometimes I sprint through on the edge of my seat, sometimes I practically meditate on a chapter, letting their happiness wash over me. So when I clicked on the reviews on a whim after chapter 16 and saw references to "time they spent apart" and "broke my heart" I just about lost it. I couldn't bear the idea of them not working out, and the fear that something bad was about to happen was preemptively filling me with despair.

So yes, I'm weak and caved and flipped to the last chapter. I kept my eyes out of focus and tried to barely flit my eyes around without dwelling on anything, and thank God I managed to see "Arnold and Helga's wedding". Those words are enough to keep going. I should have had faith in the author, and I'm sorry, but this story has become an unexpected sanctuary of happiness and I just needed reassurance that this wasn't about to take a harsh left turn. I'm still bracing for whatever hardships come next, but I can handle it now.

Over the course of the last few months I’ve read TA and LTBH. I have to say I love os very much your writing, it is amazing! I thank you for giving us this incredible stories and for all the effort, time, dedication and love that must have taken. Thanks!

Also, I have but one doubt about Brainy and the girls... they are stepsisters to Brigthy? That was not clear enough.

But seriously now, I loved this story and thank you for it, how the characters develop and change over time is great! It feels in tune.

Thanks once more.

No se si es la primera vez que comento en tus historias, siendo sincera, no lo recuerdo, pero debo decir que "Instruyendo a Arnold" y "Aprendiendo a ser Helga" son los mejores fanfics que he leído EN TODA MI VIDA! y eso que estoy en muchos fandoms XD, incluso superan a los fics de mi OTP! es increíble tu creatividad, el como manejas los personajes, las situaciones, los escenarios,los sentimentos transmitidos en los capítulos (En "Separación" me hiciste llorar, lloré desconsoladamente, cuando me calmé seguí leyendo) SIMPLEMENTE MARAVILLOSO!, me encanta tu forma de escribir, me animaré a leer tus otras historias, estoy segura que serán sorprendentes!

Sneaking into the theater. lol Arnold's reaction is funny here, given how he's snuck into the theater before in season 1. He saw an opportunity and seized it that time. It was the ep titled the List if I remember right.

You know, I can't help but wonder why Helga or Arnold don't lock the door. lol

Wow. This is interesting so far, but I'm surprised that Arnold's body isn't reacting to those kisses to cause both to slow down or implying it (I thought that was going to be the issue when Arnold didn't want to kiss Helga in her room for the last story). They are moving too fast.

HOLY SHIT I'M IN CHAPTER 4 AND HELGA SAYING ALL THOSE THINGS I'M JUST LIKE BRO YOU ARE LIKE 10
