The most reliable tutor you will meet !!

Sebastian is an amazing tutor, he has helped me with all my chemistry exams. The work I give him is always handed back to me on time and to the greatest standard. I’m a UK student and my course works with blackboard and canvas so I was worried about getting a tutor not from the UK as our syllabus could be different. However, Sebastian was not phased. He was able to help me with all my organic and topics exams to the highest degree. I’m waiting for my grades, but if you wish to contact me about Sebastian to see the work he has provided, or to question his reliability my Instagram is @harpreetsangheraa. Dm me here. Honestly I wish I could give him more stars !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
