An Exceptional Tutor

Kusumika ma'am is an exceptionally sincere and committed tutor. She offered me a 24-hour SAT English course, and that helped me a lot. Despite her hectic schedule, she gave me her undivided attention, assessed my problem areas with her expertise, and made the necessary corrections. She was instrumental in helping me get my score, therefore I must thank her. Greetings, ma'am.
