Roxy D
I have been taking lessons with Roxy for almost a year now and they are really helpful and comprehensive. She makes the harder topics much easier to understand by breaking down complex ideas into smaller sections to fully understand them and grasp the concept, with an adaptive teaching style. She is really patient and explains things multiple times in different ways until they completely make sense. By taking lessons with her I have a much better understanding of chemistry and have been able to jump multiple grade boundaries. - I would highly recommend taking lessons with her!
