my code for the methods in classes works in spyder but not on the treehouse interface and I've tried it both ways

I've tried to answer the question both ways that I saw in the video and it isn't working. It keeps bringing up an error. Help pls, is there another way that I need to write out the code?

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Amelia"

    def praise(self):
        return print('You are doing a great job {}!'.format(self.name))

me = Student()
me.praise()

The challenge wants you to return the message string. You don't need to "print" anything.
