Camila, 8 lessons with Anita

Woke tutor

I hired Anita to assist my son on a project regarding the play The Death of a Salesman. During the lesson my son became alarmed by Anita's references to Roe vs Wade and other ideas Not related to the play. I immediately stopped the lesson. There is not acceptable rational for this type of teaching.
