RESOURCEFUL, OUTSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE TUTOR

Daura is an outstanding tutor. I have had several sessions with her and have never ended a session without being impressed with her academic knowledge. She is focused, task oriented, and she has a wonderful personality. Never has she made me feel uncomfortable, inadequate, or lacking with knowledge. She is patient and she listens to my ideas and thoughts with a smile and words of encouragement. I always look forward to our sessions.
