About Abigail

Experience: 5 yrs

In addition to childcare experience, I bring a strong background in literacy and writing instruction. I've worked as a private writing tutor for high school and undergraduate students and as a literacy tutor for elementary through middle school students to help build reading fluency, comprehension, writing skills, and academic confidence. In 2019, I founded an independent literacy program while living overseas for children ages 4-12 and have experience supporting below-grade-level learners through creative, individualized instruction. As a self-employed professional writer with a B. A. in Journalism, I enjoy helping students develop curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence - whether through homework support, reading practice, or research projects.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Abigail in a children’s reading club, and I can confidently say her approach to tutoring is exceptional. She has a true gift for teaching the basics in a way that builds a strong, lasting foundation for every child. Her lessons are thoughtful, structured, and tailored to meet each student where they are. What stood out most was her unwavering commitment to inclusion, no child was ever left behind or overlooked. She made sure every student felt seen, supported, and capable of growing. Her patience, care, and attention to detail are truly top tier. Any child learning under her guidance is not only gaining essential skills but also confidence and a love for learning.
