Faux pas to avoid!
"Emma is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions; you learn by doing it, not only on theory.
She is extremely knowledgeable, and the lessons I learned are for life.
I moved to London a year ago, and today, I am much more comfortable and confident attending formal engagements."
