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 student and tutor reviewed special right triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90) and their side ratios. They then practiced solving word problems involving angles of elevation and depression, focusing on diagram interpretation and trigonometric calculations. The tutor provided guidance on identifying relevant triangles and calculating unknown angles or sides.

X and Y Intercepts
Drawing Linear Models
Line of Best Fit
The class reviewed proportional relationships, graphing, and the distinction between discrete and continuous data. The student practiced calculating the constant of proportionality, writing equations for proportional relationships, and interpreting data from graphs, with a focus on applying these concepts to word problems.
Proportional Relationships
Constant of Proportionality (k)
Discrete vs. Continuous Data
Writing Equations for Proportional Relationships
The tutor and student reviewed the concept of mixed numbers and practiced identifying them on a number line. They then focused on comparing and ordering fractions, learning rules for fractions with like denominators and like numerators, and practicing conversion to equivalent fractions with common denominators for comparison.
Equivalent Fractions and Common Denominators
Comparing Fractions with the Same Numerator
Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator
Understanding Mixed Numbers
The student and tutor reviewed and practiced the product and division rules for exponents. They worked through various problems involving simplification of algebraic expressions with exponents, including those with coefficients and the concept of zero exponents. The next session will focus on avoiding negative exponents.
Handling Coefficients in Division
Zero Exponent Rule
Negative Exponents
Quotient of Powers Rule
Product of Powers Rule
The tutor and student reviewed fractions that total one whole and practiced creating and interpreting line plots using sample data. They also began exploring multi-step word problems, focusing on subtraction and addition to determine total attendees, with multiplication introduced as a preview for future problem-solving.
