Abby: Durham tutor

Certified Tutor

I absolutely love helping kids learn and understand secular topics. I know as well as anyone how frustrating or rewarding a subject can be based on the understanding of a concept, so I value helping students enjoy what they are learning while mastering the material. While the educational system has evolved significantly within the last hundred years, it is important to recognize that every student learns differently. It is my goal to personalize teaching in a way that allows progression and understanding on an individual level that promotes academic strength. I have had experience tutoring both a 7th grader as well as a senior in high school and thoroughly enjoyed the process and watching them grow and progress, both in academics and confidence. I graduated high school from Greeneview School District and have now begun to further my education at Brigham Young University. Although I am currently working on my Bachelor's degree in psychology, I plan on obtaining a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology. Because of my projected career path, I took a STEM-core approach during high school. This ranged from Anatomy and Physiology to AP Biology and AP Calculus and has helped me understand both basic and complex concepts in math and science. Although I consider myself more STEM based, I am also strong in History and English and have taken and passed AP tests in both those areas. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing guitar and piano, reading books, weight lifting and fitness training, and relaxing with friends and family. I value education to the highest degree and am here to help students achieve their goals and reach their highest potential.
