Abbey's Bio & Tutoring Experience

I have been a tutor for almost 10 years now. I started when I was in high school working with younger kids and also my siblings at home. I have worked with children from ages 5-19, and I have a lot of experience working with children who have special needs.

Before moving to the Madison County area with my fiance, I was working as a Direct Support Professional supporting adults and children with intellectual/developmental disabilities. This included basic daily activities, helping them at their jobs, and also helping them educationally. One of my best experiences was working with a 17 year old boy with severe autism. Before I started working with him he spent most of his school day in the office of the assistant principal doing assignments and taking tests because he lacked the confidence to work alongside his classmates. I worked with him for 8 months and with my help he was able to stay in all of his classes each day, take tests in the same room and within the same time frame as the other students, and he graduated on time (his parents thought he would need another year).

I believe that I am a great tutor because I am more than a tutor. I am a confidence builder, a role model, and a friend.
