"We hired Abby after learning our 2nd grader was falling behind in math. Knowing Abby was a former teacher at Superior Elementary School gave us the confidence in her ability to teach effectively and to connect well with her students and their parents. Abby met with our son twice a week for the duration of the summer and in that time our son’s excitement for math has grown tremendously. Abby’s targeted approach to teaching enabled our son to better understand the math facts in a way that worked for him. We will be continuing with Abby during the school year and are so grateful to have her in our arsenal of academic support.” ~ J.T., parent

“Abby has done an exceptional job working with both my children and both kids have enjoyed the tutoring sessions. For my middle schooler, her grades in English as well as social studies improved. For essays Abby helped her think through her writing before she started and to keep focus on the topic. For Social Studies short answer questions, she used the strategies Abby taught her to write concise answers with the right amount of detail and examples. Her grades on short answer homework improved from receiving 3 out of 4 points to consistently receiving 4 out of 4 points. She was not only happy to see her grade improved, she was thrilled that by using the strategies learned, she completed her writing homework faster.  We also appreciate Abby listens to her students and finds out which types of writing and which subjects her students like and incorporates those into the lessons, which keeps the kids engaged.  My younger daughter's grades as well as attitude towards writing improved. Since she prefers to write poems, Abby used writing poetry to help her become more expressive in all her writing.” ~S.M., parent

"Miss Abby’s a really good math teacher.  I like that she does warm ups with me, and that we play math games together before we do math lessons. I also like that we finish each session with more games and that I get to earn a sticker at the end.” ~ B.T., student

“I have had the privilege of not only having Abby tutor my own child but of also having taught with her for 8 years. Abby has an incredible knowledge of curriculum, assessment, and intervention options. She is able to assess a child to see what his/her strengths are as well as the holes. She is then able to fill in the gaps where something is missing. Abby will do more than just work on homework assignments, she will actually help a child reach grade level by filling in the holes. She is the perfect person to tutor based on her experience, knowledge, and love of children. I would highly recommend Abby as a tutor for any subject area with elementary or middle school children.” ~C.S., teacher and parent

“Mrs. Mallett is a kind, fun, and engaged teacher who is always patient and helpful.  I love her sense of humor, positivity, and encouragement. She's been my favorite teacher because she knew how to help me learn while keeping it exciting.”  ~M.S., student

“Our first grade daughter was enthusiastic about math so we decided to hire Abby weekly over the summer to promote continued engagement in math during the school break. Abby introduced new strategies for thinking about numbers and for solving math problems that I’m sure my daughter will use as she enters 2nd grade. We highly recommend Abby, whether your child is requiring some extra help or could benefit from an enriched boost outside the classroom.” ~ J.T., parent

“Our 11 year-old son has worked with Abby on math for nearly 2 years. Due to the pandemic and a house move, we’ve mostly seen her for Zoom meetings. Through all the life changes, Abby has been a wonderful influence. She’s reliable, flexible, fun, energetic, and easy-going. She has developed a special connection with our son and has made math fun for him. He really looks forward to their sessions together. In September of 2021, our 9 year-old son started working with Abby on literacy. The improvement he’s made in just a short period of time has been incredible. Abby uses research-based methods, and we love that she has a teaching background as well. We feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Abby!” ~J.M., parent

“After Mrs. Mallett introduced herself to us on the very first day of 4th grade, I could tell that my peers and I were all very nervous. Was this teacher going to be strict? Nice? Would she hand out candy? Once we started heading into the actual material that needed to be learned, it seemed 50 minutes would go by and POP!, we'd suddenly know all of the vocabulary words, concepts, theorems, formulas, etc. that needed to be looked at. The way she teaches... I would call it a kind of magic of some sorts. Through all the games and hands-on activities that she incorporated through her teaching, learning with Mrs. Mallett was like being on an enjoyable roller coaster ride, zooming through all kinds of learning milestones and achievements. I know, I might sound like I'm exaggerating, but trust me, I'm not. Mrs. Mallett always knows the progress each student has made throughout the year. She knows exactly which students are struggling with this and which students are struggling with that. I don't know what else to say... but I guarantee for those of you that are thinking of hiring her... do it and you won't be missing out.” ~A.Z., student

“Mrs. Mallett is an effective, thorough teacher. She is well prepared and tailors lessons to help students understand the material. My children benefited from having her as a classroom teacher and grew especially in their math and writing skills.” ~S.S., parent

“I especially appreciate how prepared and organized Abby is. She tracked the progress of my kids and found a personalized approach for both of them. She adjusted curriculum and created fun games to keep their attention during the study session. Abby is patient, calm and funny. My kids loved working with Abby, and she brought them not only to the next level in 10 sessions, but also showed me new ways of helping my kids to learn better.” ~T.Y., parent

“Thank you so much, Abigail, for this one-year writing lesson. You are an awesome writing teacher and greatly helpful with my daughter’s writing skills.  At the beginning of classes, she was struggling and now has much more confidence with writing. She really likes you and enjoyed your writing lessons. If in the future we decide to sign up for additional writing lessons, you will be on the top of the list.” ~J.M., parent
