Abigail: Elk Grove Village tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! I'm Abigail and I'm a recent graduate from Oberlin College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, with a concentration in Pre-Med studies. Since high school, I have a passion for teaching a variety of subjects. During high school, I tutored at Kumon Math & Reading, teaching students math from the very basics to tackling Calculus and Linear Algebra. While a student at Oberlin, I was selected to TA for challenging introductory STEM courses, such as Organic Chemistry, Biology, and Chemistry. Aside from my interest in the sciences, I explored my passion for Russian Politics, Culture, and Literature. I traveled to Russia several times to work on journalism projects and was published in the Oberlin Review for my work in interviewing notable activists and researching grassroots movements in Russia. While in Russia, I taught English for children of migrant families, and in Istanbul, Turkey, I continued my ESL teaching for Syrian refugees. I especially love tutoring students topics in Biology and Chemistry, and I believe that with guidance and dedication, anyone can succeed in STEM and learn to appreciate the sciences.
