Bio
Hello! My name is Fatima Abbas, and I am a licensed Illinois educator with a Professional Educator License in English Language Arts (grades 9–12) and an endorsement as a Learning Behavior Specialist. I earned my Master of Education in Special Education and my Bachelor of Arts in the Teaching of English. I currently serve as a special education and secondary educator and school counselor, and my classroom experience spans private and public schools, from elementary through high school. I have taught English Language Arts, literature, and writing, including AP Language and AP Literature, and I also provide virtual instruction and tutoring to school-age students online. No two students learn the same way; I tailor every lesson to fit the student in front of me. I model clearly, check for understanding often, and give warm, specific praise so students always know what they did well and how to do it again. My goal in every session: strong teaching, steady encouragement, and real progress.
