Learn English – the most formal, polite and expressive way of saying ‘Thank You’

Is there anything else other than 'thank you' to show gratitude in a polite, formal way to my professor at college?

Best Answer

My experience is that explaining specifically what you appreciate is the most expressive way to say "thank you". Any phrase that you could use in more than one situation will have about the same impact as a simple "thank you". This is true for both written and spoken appreciation.

For example,

Thank you for helping me outside of your normal office hours to accommodate my work schedule. Your generosity with your time really helped me.

is much more meaningful than

Thank you for all that you've done for me.
