Responsive and patient tutor.
I wish I hired Abby sooner! I was struggling to condense my application essay for accelerated nursing programs to meet the 500 maximum word count. She patiently worked with me to target my writing weaknesses, organize my ideas, and present them in a clear and concise manner. My writing progressed in two sessions with her significantly faster than they did in a month with my university’s free writing tutor. She was attentive, responsive, and had a great sense of humor to keep the sessions lighthearted and comfortable

Helpful, informative, and energetic tutor!
Abby helped me with putting finishing touches on my big college essay and some of my college supplements. Though I write well on my own, Abby fixed my writing and suggested details that altogether strengthened my essays and, ultimately, made my personal essay one of the best essays I have ever written. I learned new techniques that I ended up incorporating into my scholarships essays, all thanks to Abby. I can't wait to use her suggestions in my future writing!

High energy, great attitude.
(This was our first session) Abby was really great with my son! He is in 2nd grade and struggles with identifying what to write, and then getting it down on paper. In fact, there are times when he completely shuts down and goes into his shell. Abby never let that happen and had him very engaged. Her energy level and joie de vivre was catching and my son is now looking forward to using some of the "wild" writing tactics she taught him! We can't wait to see her again next week. (Added 4/29/2016) - I just had my son's teacher conference, and his teacher said "He has had TREMENDOUS improvement in his writing!" We can't thank Abby enough; she has done wonders in such a short amount of time.

Creative and engaged writing tutor.
Abby has a great combination of practical and solid writing skills, and a real enthusiasm for engaging in the substantive material with the student. My son has not always had writing assignments to work on for each tutoring session and Abby has always found a way to do something creative to teach a writing lesson. My son was advanced from remedial college prep English to regular college prep English this year. Abby was instrumental in helping him.

Co-workers have described me as:
"It Girl"
Because I can make good decisions under pressure and tie up loose ends. And I will stay as late as needed to get the job done.
"Magic"
Because I can create compelling copy seemingly from thin air, even if I've been provided with only scraps of information.
