She was very understanding when it came to my last minute cancellations and was always flexible with my availability. Even after I stopped tutoring with her, I couldn't help but to hire her again to help me develop the most amazing college essays! (She was that good) We spent less than two months writing seven amazing college essays and with that, I am pleased to say that I have been accepted to 6 out of 7 of my colleges.

She explains things in many different ways until you understand it. My schedule at the time of tutoring was very hectic, and she went out of her way to accommodate my needs. All in all, Astrid is amazing. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to be in the career that I'm in. I can't thank her enough for the knowledge she's given to me. I'll recommend her to anyone that's looking for a tutor.

Amalynne is an amazing tutor! I never thought I would need help in a risk management class, but my professor's questions are not matching the lessons and I don't have much experience with this subject. Amalynne has an impressive wealth of knowledge in all things business. Her mind moves lightning fast. I am so impressed with her every week. On top of that, she is very kind. I can't say how lucky I feel to have found her. Highly recommend.
