I thoroughly enjoy helping people meet their learning goals. If you are stuck on something specific and have a question that you need help with, I am willing to do that. If you want to have someone go over your essays and help you with them before submitting them, we can do that too. I am open-minded and want to give you good value for your money. I am very digitally literate and we can communicate online.
