Emily R
I could not recommend Emily more. Genuinely. I never imagined when I signed up to Tutorful that I would find someone who would make the tutoring experience so enjoyable, so fun - my daughter actually looked forward to her weekly sessions, and found them invaluable. She was really struggling to connect with her GCSE Spanish teacher, but Emily brought the language to life - with kindness, encouragement and connection. Flexible, kind and incredible easy to deal with, Emily made the whole process seamless. We could not be more grateful.
