"Hello! I'm Abby.

I have been a professional tutor since 2015. With experience tutoring anything from reading and writing to SAT/ACT test prep and college apps, I enjoy helping students of all ages reach their full potentials.

My areas of expertise are all things college prep and English: ACT test prep, SAT test prep, college application essays, the Common App, college counseling, general essay writing, literacy, reading comprehension, and writing skills development.

As a certified college counselor, I am able to help with as much or as little of the admissions process as needed. College counseling looks different for each student, so I come up with a plan that is customized to each student’s needs. For some students, this will include minimal support reviewing application essays. For others, this may include more focused guidance through steps such as ongoing test prep for the ACT or SAT, identifying schools that will be a good fit, personal statements and supplemental essays, completing the steps of the applications, and more.

I also have three years of corporate experience tutoring literacy and reading comprehension at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. I am trained in Lindamood-Bell's effective Visualizing & Verbalizing and Seeing Stars programs for literacy and reading comprehension development. Similarly, I have a lot of experience working with students with learning disabilities through Lindamood-Bell and with the college admissions process, which can have some unique hurdles for students requiring specific accommodations.

By choosing to work with me, you will receive high-quality, one-on-one tutoring services that are individualized to your unique educational goals. Whether you have three weeks to prepare for the SAT or plan to take the ACT in six months, I'll craft the perfect plan for you, your goals, and your timeline.

Feel free to reach out at any time - I'm accepting new students, and I do my best to be very responsive to all requests. I hope to hear from you soon!" less...
