I've been a private tutor for the past 15 years and spent a year training as a Princeton review educator when I was a student at Princeton University (I graduated from the university in 1994). I work with students from kindergarten to adulthood and enjoy tailoring my approach to address each student's concerns and goals. I frequently look to have my students play an active role in uncovering the strategies that works best for them, thinking of them as a member of a two person team. I strive to have my students, whatever age, feel both supported and challenged during our sessions while giving them the tools to feel confident when I'm not around.

Online tutoring isn't a second job for me—it's what I do! I invest 100% in my teaching, allowing me to cater the experience to each student's unique needs.
I have more than 15 thousand hours of experience teaching English, Hindi, and Urdu. Because every student is different and requires a unique approach, I continually adapt to the learner's needs regarding how the material is presented and the type and frequency of practice work.
In addition to general language teaching, I specialize in test preparation classes for the TOEFL, IELTS, and OPIc English proficiency tests. I also work with Hindi and Urdu students preparing for foreign service exams in the US or abroad.
I earned my TESOL certification from Seattle University in 2008 and completed several master's level courses in teaching and language learning. My Hindi and Urdu studies began in 2006 at the University of Washington. Four intensive quarters of study there were followed by the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS) Advanced Hindi Language Program in Jaipur, India, where I did two intensive, advanced-level programs back-to-back. In 2008, AIIS hired me as the first-ever non-native speaker to teach in their Basic Hindi Program.
In 2009, I cofounded a language school in New Delhi (India), which has become a world-class place for language learning. There, I gained more than 10 thousand hours of in-class language instruction experience, working with students of all ages and backgrounds from dozens of countries. After living and teaching in India for eight years, I returned to Seattle with my family.
One thing that sets me apart as an English language teacher is that I have become fluent in second languages and know what it's like to live in an entirely different culture.
I am generally available for online classes between 6 - 10 am and 4:30 - 10 pm (PST).
If you have any questions about my experience or approach to teaching, feel free to get in touch anytime!

Hello everyone! My name is Abigail S. and I would like to extend educational services to families who may be experiencing difficulties during the 2020-21 school www.*** ;Many health departments around the country have recommended all districts begin the school year remotely, and this can cause some problems for many families who may have essential workers in the household, multiple students, or create fear and worry for parents who do not feel they are cut out to help their students succeed in the way a teacher cannot replace. Whatever the reason, I would like to help!
I am a 2019 graduate of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Music Performance. I am a substitute teacher for Tacoma Public Schools and was intending on working with them again this school year, however that may not be the case. I also work as a production manager and educator for an area youth theatre program. I teach clarinet and saxophone lessons on the side.
