Abigail
Experienced Tutor in ESL/ESOL and English
Learning can be fun as well as focused and productive. With each student, I work to achieve that balance by getting to know you first in order to build a cooperative work relationship. And then setting clear goals. My methods include assessing a student's level at the beginning, and then setting clear, measurable objectives in order to focus our tutoring sessions. I like to return to the student's goals and ascertain whether we have achieved those goals or not throughout our time together. C... Read more

Patient and skillful tutor in writing, grammar and literature

Let's learn about history and music together!
History and music have been my passions since high school. I found enjoyment in seeking out the controversial viewpoints in major historical debates, especially surrounding U.S. foreign policy. On the music side of things, I took jazz guitar lessons and formed my own band. We played around town, eventually recording some of our own material. In college, I continued pursuing both of these passions in college while adding in tutoring. To apply what I was learning as a music major in the communi... Read more
