Abigail Jenson is patient, calm and supportive. Her experiences in education range from PreK to middle and high school students. She is from Utah, where she studied Family and Consumer Science Education at Brigham Young University. In June of 2024, she left her beloved job teaching child development, early childhood education, sewing, and fashion design to high school students to pursue a master’s degree at New York University in Environmental Conservation Education. She currently holds a teaching certificate for the New York State Education Department for Family and Consumer Science Education. Within her teaching experience, she has assisted in curriculum development, spoken at leadership and educator conferences, collaborated with colleagues creating learning resources, and participated in professional development opportunities. She genuinely enjoys being a teacher in formal and informal settings and values her students and relationships built in the process of teaching and learning together.
As a private tutor, she meets her students where they are at. Her approach begins with the student: their goals, understanding, challenges, and diverse learning needs. She incorporates scaffolding techniques that support student learning at a comfortable pace and yet challenging enough to promote greater understanding. Abigail has a strong understanding of developmentally appropriate practices that contributes to her ability to support student learning across a broad range of ages and learning needs. She has strong executive functioning skills, including adaptability, organization, problem solving, planning, and prioritization.
When she isn’t teaching, she is making and creating! She stays busy altering and making wedding gowns for clients, as well as running a business making and selling apparel and, more recently, technical outdoor gear she designs and sews from recycled materials. Her true colors shine when she is in the creative process, whether it’s designing a functional bag, making a Claymation, or writing a poem. As a lover of nature, she is passionate about educating people about the environment and motivating people to act for the conservation of the planet. Some day she hopes to run a business of her own teaching people how to sew and repair their own clothing and understand the complex impacts clothing production and consumption have on the environment.
