Abigail: Cary tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students because I think that learning is important and that every student should have the opportunity to succeed. I personally loved going to school and learning and want to help other students love learning by finding approaches that work for them!
I have mentored students in Middle School for the past 4 years through a local program. Through this program, I started to realize how much I enjoyed working with students to help them achieve their goals. I recently was chosen to help facilitate a local chapter of the Girls Who Code club and will be working with students from 6 - 12th grade to help to teach coding and foster an innovative mindset.
I attended the University of Pittsburgh and hold a B.S. in Computer Science. I am currently working towards getting my Master's in Computer Science.
I tutor for Math, Science, and Computer Science.
I really enjoy helping students with Math. I personally have always loved Math but understand that not everyone feels that way! I like to help people also enjoy Math.
My teaching/tutoring style relies on getting to know the student and incorporating their interests into the subject area (if possible). This helps to engage the student and make connections to things in which they are already interested.
Outside of academia, I work full-time as a Software Developer and also assist my employer with corporate training for software products. I enjoy getting to spend time mentoring local middle schoolers and volunteering with non-profits in the area.
