"While I am extremely busy, I feel compelled to aggressively (and warmly) commend Saima N. .  She delivered more than expected in her many months tutoring our teenage son.  Going well beyond highly competent technical coaching/tutoring (Science, Math) reflecting her masters level education - and love of the topic, she built rapport, exhibited/taught compassion and empathy, and mostly, established and grew trust with a young teen at an age where skepticism and doubt are natural, particularly with adults.  I must say, my respect for Upwork and the quality of talent it delivers only grows with time and use.  Thank you Upwork, and mostly, thank you Saima!  Our best regards from the USA and Europe."
