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 concepts taught by Abigail
The Tutor and Student reviewed trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) and their application in finding missing sides of right triangles. They also practiced using the side ratios for special right triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90) and applied these concepts to word problems involving ladders. The student gained confidence in identifying sides and applying formulas, preparing for an upcoming quiz.
Trigonometric Ratios (SOH CAH TOA)
Special Right Triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90)
Applying Trig and Special Triangles to Word Problems
The tutor and student reviewed methods for solving proportionalities, focusing on cross-multiplication to solve rational equations. They practiced solving various problems, including those with expressions, and the student worked on isolating variables and simplifying results.
Proportional Relationships
Cross Multiplication
Simplifying Rational Expressions
Operations with Negative Numbers
The Tutor and Student reviewed the elimination method for solving simultaneous equations. They practiced identifying when to add or subtract equations to eliminate a variable and worked through examples. The session concluded with a preview of more complex elimination problems requiring equation manipulation for future practice.
Choosing the Right Method: Elimination vs. Substitution
Substitution Method for Systems of Equations
Elimination Method for Systems of Equations
Manipulating Equations for Elimination
The tutor and student reviewed the concept of qualitative graphs, focusing on identifying increasing, decreasing, and constant intervals and interpreting their meaning in various scenarios. They practiced solving problems by analyzing graphs and also worked on sketching graphs based on given descriptions, reinforcing the understanding of rates of change and graph interpretation.
Qualitative Graphs vs. Quantitative Graphs
Interpreting Intervals on Graphs
Understanding Slope and Rate of Change
Zeros of a Graph
Interpreting Open and Closed Circles on Graphs
The Tutor and Student explored fraction decomposition, starting with unit fractions and progressing to decomposing fractions into sums of various fractions. They then worked on the concept of 'what is a whole?' by determining how to visually and numerically represent a complete unit from a given fractional part, and practiced writing equations to show these relationships.
Fraction Decomposition into Unit Fractions
Fraction Decomposition into Any Sum of Fractions
Understanding the Whole
The student and tutor reviewed statistical measures (range, median, mode) and then delved into algebraic concepts, focusing on order of operations and systems of equations. A major part of the session was dedicated to understanding and practicing scientific notation, including conversions to and from standard form, and the rules for the first factor. The student will continue practicing these concepts.
