A simple thank-you can become useful proof

When a student helps a peer, a short thank-you note can show that the help was clear, patient and useful.

This is different from a formal work reference. It is lightweight proof that the student helped someone in a real situation.

What makes an endorsement safe

Safe endorsements use simple tags such as clear explanation, patient and helpful, good communication or organised and reliable.

They should avoid private details about the other student, their account, device, assignment or personal situation.

How it helps the resume

A thank-you note can support a resume line by showing that another person found the help useful. It adds trust to the skill proof.
