I felt Emily was extremely informative and aware of the criteria I need to pass my test. So far I have only had one lesson. But I feel like I've learnt so much in the 45 minutes working with her. I'll definitely be scheduling with her again and I recommend anyone who is struggling like I am on a subject to go to her.
