Dawn Washburn
Hackensack, NJ

High School English Teacher who also teaches True Crime, College Applications, College Apps, Essay,

After teaching for over 23 years, I have learned that school isn't for everyone and students should not be faulted for this. Teachers need to REACH before they TEACH. Organically connecting and creating relationships with students is top priority. When teachers are placing information into our students' brains, then we need to build trust before they accept that information. Many teachers do not understand this recipe and the result can be disastrous. I take pride in the fact that I am aware of what the needs are, both emotionally and academically. I developed this new style of mentorship based off of parent frustration, under appreciated teachers, and failing students. I also know that learning takes place through various outlets. I am here to cater and tailor your experience based on what you tell me you need. I am a licensed teacher prepared to take your child to the next level. I like to call myself a, "mentor" who is here to provide guidance, advice, feedback and support, as well as serving as a role model, teacher, counselor, advisor, advocate and ally. When I pitched this idea to a few parents, teachers and most of all...our students, the reactions where overwhelmingly positive. As a result, I decided it was time to help. This system of mentorship is designed for each individual and their style of learning. I enlisted the help of my colleague, who will offer a Math mentorship, as well. We are aware of the needs of our students and want to help any way we can.

Abigale Morris
New York, NY

Reading/Writing Tutor with a Bachelor of Science in Professional & Technical Writing

I am Abigale, a millennial living in Brooklyn, New York. I currently work as a reading/writing tutor for adult learners studying for GED exams and College Prep. I recently graduated from the New York City College of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Professional & Technical Writing. I graduated with honors and was awarded the status of Cum Laude for all of my efforts. I have also received Dean's List Honor five times. I have been writing for many years, and it has allowed me to learn new and interesting things about myself. I have learned that as long as I have dreams, I can write them down, and discover ways to make them come to fruition. Whether it’s by learning how to express myself more, or pursuing a thought, I am always in the process of learning about myself through writing. Since the art of writing and expression can be subjective, I have learned about condensing and compacting information so that it’s easily accessible to large and diverse groups of people. As a writer, my imagination tends to run wild, so I have adapted to creating content within the confines of the Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN) federal guidelines. These guidelines have allowed me to be expressive and professional while ensuring that my audience understands the information being provided. I truly enjoy writing, and based on my accomplishments, I guess you can assume that I am good at what I do. I have written numerous pieces such as research papers, executive summaries, proposals, feasibility reports, manuals, and more. I am here to help and a session with me will allow you to learn so much about various writing styles and how to format papers for the best outcome. I will take my time to work with you and move at your pace. I will answer all of your questions to the best of my ability. I assure you, you will become a better writer if you take the time and put in the effort during our sessions. I look forward to working with you!
