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
Student and Tutor engaged in a practice session covering various mathematics topics, including evaluating expressions, solving linear equations, solving proportions, and converting decimals to fractions. The student worked through multiple problems, focusing on problem-solving techniques, sign conventions, and fraction reduction. The next session is planned to cover remaining topics.
Writing Algebraic Expressions from Verbal Descriptions
Converting Decimals to Simplified Fractions
Solving One-Step Linear Equations
Operations with Integers & Double Signs
Solving Proportions
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced writing variable expressions from word phrases. They then moved on to comprehensive lessons and practice on converting between decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers, including detailed instruction on handling recurring decimals. For follow-up, the Student is assigned to complete the current recurring decimal task, and a mini-quiz on all completed topics is planned for the next session.
Writing Variable Expressions from Words
Converting Decimals to Fractions
Converting Fractions to Decimals (Long Division)
Converting Decimals to Mixed Numbers
Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions
Simplifying Fractions
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced writing equations from word problems, focusing on correct mathematical notation and interpretation of phrases. They then worked extensively on solving one-step, two-step, and multi-step linear equations, emphasizing isolating variables and applying inverse operations. For follow-up, the Tutor plans to introduce more complex word problems involving creating and solving equations in the next session.
Translating Word Phrases into Algebraic Equations
Solving Two-Step Linear Equations
Applying the Distributive Property in Equations
Combining Like Terms to Simplify Equations
The Student and Tutor reviewed solving word problems by creating and solving equations, building on previous lessons. They practiced identifying unknowns, selecting appropriate operations, and solving a series of algebraic problems. The upcoming session will explore rewriting equations in different forms.
Matching Operations to Word Problem Keywords
Solving Equations Using Inverse Operations
Solving Equations with an Isolated Unknown
Identifying Unknowns and Given Information
Translating Word Problems into One-Step Equations
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced solving problems involving proportional relationships and equivalent fractions. They focused on identifying the constant of proportionality and using multiplication or division to solve for unknown values in proportional equations. The session concluded with a plan to explore more decimal-based proportions and number pattern recognition in the next class.
Understanding Proportional Relationships
Determining the Constant of Proportionality (k)
Solving Proportions Using Equivalent Ratios
The Student and Tutor reviewed algebraic concepts, specifically distinguishing between equations and inequalities. They practiced solving various linear equations using inverse operations and then moved on to formulating and solving word problems by first setting up the appropriate algebraic equations. The plan for the next session includes more practice with word problems before introducing new topics.
