Abigail - Know your tutor
Hi! I’m Abigail, a Bachelors-educated math tutor with over 5 years of experience helping students build confidence and improve their skills in math. I’ve worked with learners from middle school through college-level courses, covering everything from Pre-Algebra to Calculus II. I know math can be frustrating sometimes, so I focus on breaking things down into simple steps and using real-life examples that make sense. Every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to match their learning style and pace. Whether you’re catching up on missed topics, trying to boost your grades, or just want extra practice, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you feel comfortable with math and actually enjoy the learning process. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work together to make math easier and more manageable for you.

Class overview
My teaching style is supportive, flexible, and student-centered. I take time to understand how each student learns best, whether it's through visual aids, step-by-step examples, real-world applications, or guided practice. I focus on creating a comfortable space where students feel safe asking questions, making mistakes, and learning at their own pace. I don’t rush through lessons. Instead, I adapt to what the student needs in the moment and build on their strengths. I regularly check in to make sure they are truly understanding the material and gaining confidence. I aim to make math feel more manageable by simplifying complex ideas and showing how math connects to everyday life. With consistent support, encouragement, and clear explanations, I help students become more confident problem-solvers who feel capable and empowered in their learning.

Mathematics concept taught by Abigail
The session focused on solving algebraic equations with variables on both sides and introduced simultaneous equations. The student practiced solving both types of equations, working on sign changes when moving terms and methods like substitution and elimination. The next session will cover alternative methods for solving simultaneous equations with easier numbers and less division.
Simultaneous Equations (Introduction)
Fractions and Negative Signs
Dividing Every Term
Rearranging Equations for Substitution
The Importance of Signs
Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides
The student reviewed finding the area of rectangles and squares, including using unit squares and applying the distributive property. The student practiced decomposing larger rectangles into smaller ones to calculate area, and worked on homework problems. They practiced finding the area of composite shapes by dividing them into smaller rectangles.
Area of Rectangles
Distributive Property in Area Calculation
Decomposing Shapes to Find Area
Area of Combined Rectangles
X and Y Intercepts
Slope-Intercept Form
Graphing from Slope-Intercept Form
Positive and Negative Slopes
Converting to Slope-Intercept Form
Finding Slope from a Graph
The Student and Tutor reviewed multiplication and division of square roots, including simplification techniques. The Student practiced problems involving both operations and then started working on adding and subtracting radical expressions, focusing on simplification and combining like terms. The session concluded with an understanding of how to handle different radicals within the same expression.
