As a child of an English teacher, I was raised reading and writing at levels above the expectation for my age/grade. Furthermore, I have had a multitude of experiences that have led to an adaptation t... o my learning, as well as teaching, style. It is important to note that these experiences have been on a one to one basis and have been tutor-styled. I once assisted a kindergartener get through her online schooling during the pandemic for two months. By the end of our two months together, the student and I not only formed a wonderful connection, but she was also reading at a third grade level, and writing at a first grade level. In just two months, I had a new best friend who could not wait to read the Harry Potter series. Moreover, my college experience has been based around my ability to read and write about complicated and specific sociological concepts. My professors over the past four years have assisted me in adjusting my writing style and voice to fit the sociology APA formatting that has allowed me to begin a dissertation that I one day hope to publish. Overall, I have been extremely successful in gaining high marks in my English classes and continue to have a genuine passion for my growing understanding. I also have a passion for assisting others to succeed and exponentially grow in their English abilities. I have always been the friend who reads everyone's papers before submission, and enjoy the moment of excitement in others when they utilize my constructive criticisms and receive a high grade! read more

Hiya! My name is Abby and I am a senior at SUNY Geneseo studying sociology and urban studies. I am from the suburbs of Buffalo, New York and love the Buffalo Bills! In my free time, I often read, volu... nteer, crochet, and spend time with my family. I have a nephew and a godson whom I love entirely and am enjoying every second of watching them grow up. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring because it is my life's purpose to serve others and I believe that education is an essential key to assisting others to thrive. Watching people have that "ah-ha!" moment when they finally reach their learning objective is thrilling and can be life changing for myself and the student! My tutoring philosophy is that if you truly take your time and put your best foot forward, then you are succeeding. If you can honestly say that you have done your best, then that is enough. However, it is important to recognize that growth and expanded knowledge is always possible and should be strived for. What makes me "me" is that I am an empathetic, patient, and kind human that recognizes that everyone is human and deserves time and care from others.read more
