The price below is what I’m willing to pay, but you are competing with other offers. The best offer with the best review gets the opportunity to make the money.

When you private message me to ask me if you can do this homework for me, you must answer the following two questions and you must provide your review link. Where are you originally from? Where do you live now?

Each answer must be more than a paragraph long.

Must be 100% plagiarism free! Must be original!

Must be 100% free of gramatical errors! I have GRAMMARLY, so don’t try to pull a fast one on me.

If you try to pull a fast one on me, I will blast your star score, and I will also write a lengthy review. The review heading will have something to do with “tutor tries gets caught trying to screw over military veteran.”

Must submit by due date and time! I will not take poor work. (100% refund if work does not follow description)

Must provide current information!
