Some differences of opinion about punctuation might be expected, especially when it comes to commas after introductory phrases and the commas that go between two independent clauses. We should agree on most points, however. If there are substantial differences between how you would punctuate this text and how Grammar English would do it, you can send her e-mail to express your opinion.
