ManagerChelsea was reliable and consistent in her work, she approached her responsibilities with a strong sense of commitment. Based on my experience managing her, I would recommend her for working with school-age learners in an online environment. She communicates clearly, patient and has a calm, supportive approach.

ParentEnglishChelsea has provided English tutoring for both of my homeschooled children. She took my son to his IGCSE and my daughter up until she started her last year of schooling in a Danish boarding school. She managed to teach my daughter English which is no small feat - my daughter is dyslexic and also autistic and generally does not warm easily to grownups. My daughter really struggles in any language class and does not do well with open ended questions, but Chelsea manged to coax her through the work, virtually leading her by hand, through the curriculum.
