As a tutor for Agnes Scott College’s Center for Writing and Speaking, I have assisted students with their assignments in a variety of different disciplines. These are some of the testimonials I have received in the post-session surveys that tutees have the option to fill out. These testimonials refect my individual, student lead approach to tutoring and teaching. I see it as my role to teach students skills that can help them strengthen their individual writing process, rather than simply being an editor.

“Abigail critiques my work and if she did not know something she looked it up so we both learn. There was no pressure and I felt really comfortable.”

“I had a really great appointment with Abigail. She was patient to help me with my paper and to help me figure out what I wanted to convey in my writing. I was so glad that by the end of the appointment we were able to work together to improve my paper. She gave me a lot of compliments on what my paper does well which gave me more confidence in my writing capabilities.”

“I liked her jolly personality. She was very easy to talk with and share ideas. I liked how she wrote my thoughts down so I can better reflect it in my essay and not miss and points discussed.”

“My appointment with Abigail was amazing, and there isn’t really any suggestions for improvement I can think of. She frequently asked me about the ideas I was trying to convey, which allowed me to hear it and create a clearer sentence. I liked that she was flexible when I needed more time, and extended the appointment by 30 minutes. I knew what to improve by the time I left.”

“Abigail gave amazing feedback on my art history paper. Her experience in art history combined with her writing skills and kindness made for a very productive appointment.”

“Abigail helped me a lot in figuring out where to start with my assignment.”

“Abigail is the best!!!!! I went in really nervous about the public reading for nonfiction workshop, and left feeling a lot more confident.”

“Abigail was extremely helpful in directing the brainstorming process and pinpointing the next steps to move forward.”

“It was very comfortable, and gave me better ideas on how to improve my writing.”

“The appointment went really well because we addressed my ideas and how to start planning for my essay, as well as what materials to use.”

“I would go back to Abigail again.”
