Provide + with

Dear teachers,

(I am re-posting this question as it has not been answered yet. Anyhow, I have also looked at other postings on the topic of " 'provide' and the prepositions that naturally follow the verb".)

According the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, the word "provide" has the following ranges of possible collocations:

provide something for somebody; provide somebody with something; provide something to somebody

Does the following sentence conform to any of the above patterns of collocation? Is there a need for "with" after "me"

1. Once again, I should like to thank you for all the generous help that you have, since 1994 (if I am not wrong), been providing learners like me.

2. Once again, I should like to thank you for all the generous help that you have, since 1994 (if I am not wrong), been providing learners like me with.


Thank you very much
