After working with Daisy I start to realize more and more that English is harder than I thought. I have to admit that it is difficult for me to do creative writing, but her support inspires me to do even more than I can accomplish! I have been working with my tutor since February of 2017, and I never had the feeling of regret. I know very few polite people in my life, and I can definitely say that Daisy is in that category.
