teacher not responding to reference email: gap year student
been 5 days since i sent the email, she still hasn't responded and i'm unsure of how long it usually takes her to respond to emails. i rly dont wanna be a nuisance and this is going to be one of the dumbest posts i've made on here but i am really just an anxious person and dont wanna bother anyone at all esp since i know how busy teachers are, is it worth sending another email over?

Is this for an employment reference or for UCAS?

just call your school, I had to wait 3 weeks for my college to write my reference and the only reason it was written is because I called like 6 times and sent multiple emails
