About the Tutor

Hello there! My name is Abby! I'm a high school student from Kansas who enjoys spending her free time reading and learning new things! I love learning about microbiology and have specific interests in immunology and epidemiology! My favorite animals are geese and ducks; my favorite colors are coral pink and light orange! In my free time, I enjoy watching Video Essays and reading various books! My favorite genre has to be apocalyptic and realistic survival! I hope in using SHW I can better prepare for a variety of subjects as well as teach subjects that I am knowledgeable in! I hope to meet/see all of you all soon!˚⊹ (づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ♡
