My hero!

Steven really saved the day. I was dumb and procrastinated and waited until 4 days prior to the due date of my assignment. I selected instant book and he was the first one to help me. He's very knowledgeable and was patient with me. My second session he fit me in when he had a slight break and we were able to finish my assignment. He saved me because I really screwed up on one of the problems. Math is not my strong suit and this was for an online college class. I will definitely do another session for my last assignment for this class. Mahalo Steven!
