Carmel's assistance was a great help. She was easy to talk to and if I had a question of any kind, I could e-mail or call her, and know that I would get an answer soon. We set a kind of a schedule at the beginning which helped me to prioritize to do the most important things first, this was extremely helpful since we started to work together later than most of the students usually do. I would definitely recommend students and parents to work with Carmel, She really knew what she was doing and what needed to be done.
