Reviews from others

“Sharfa always went out her way to make sure I understood the work, even if it meant explaining the same thing 5 times. She is very organized, she would always check what I needed help with prior to our sessions, she would always be prepared with links and notes to assist me with my studies. ”

“She was helpful in every way. She explained things in a very simple and easy way to understand in addition to providing multiple resources that were very helpful and clear in guiding me while doing my work outside of tutoring hours. I definitely recommend her and will be contacting her again the second I struggle with anything in psychology. ”
