My first time and my first comment on youtube ever😅. I have used this app for 3 and half years but have never made a comment on any content until this one. I really find this educative and very insightful too and that's why I couldn't help but show my love❤ by commenting. Thanks a lot man🙌🙌

[shnshlla]

Thank you very much for your tutorials and reviews! I’ve heard how you said sometime that you felt like posting videos to void. I just wanted to say that I personally have learned pretty much everything regarding essays with the help of your channel. Moreover, if I have a thought of learning some tips for my essay, your videos will be the first thing bumping up in my mind. So I don’t want you to stop striving, because otherwise It would be harder for me to adjust my essay. Bom Bom! Thank you!

Hii, I would love to get my essay reviewed. This is my entry for the free review!

[blitzieyt]

Dear Kevin, I was wondering if I could submit my essay for one of these review-vids. I've been working on it for a very long time and would love to get your opinion as I know how experienced you are. Sadly, my parent are currently not completely able to finance the consulting calls so that's why I'm asking. It would be greatly appreciated

[elevatedschool]
