Reviews from others

“She made a subject that I found very challenging easy to understand, as well as giving me useful tips that were very helpful in my test. She explained things in a manner that was easy to grasp and was patient.”

“I've said it before, but Emma has really managed to engage with Liam; this hasn't happened with his previous tutors. I think this is why Liam has done so well under her tutelage. Not only is he going to pass Matric Afrikaans (which was looking very doubtful 2 years ago) but he is likely to achieve at least a C for the subject, so I think congratulations all round are in order! We shall be very sorry to say goodbye to Emma and Teach Me 2... ”
