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 session started with the Student and Tutor reviewing homework on equivalent ratios, practicing vertical, horizontal, and reduction methods. Subsequently, the Student completed a quiz that covered scale factor calculations, including necessary unit conversions, and proportional word problems. The Tutor noted some minor errors that will be reviewed in the upcoming session.
Understanding Equivalent Ratios
Solving for Unknowns in Proportions
Methods for Identifying Equivalent Ratios
Scale Drawings and Unit Conversions
Student and Tutor reviewed concepts related to scale drawings, scale factor, and proportional reasoning in geometry and word problems. They practiced finding missing side lengths, identifying scale factors based on direction, and converting units for scale. The session concluded with a plan for a quiz on these topics during the next class.
Understanding Scale Factor
Scale Factor in Real-World Problems & Unit Conversion
Matching Corresponding Sides in Rotated Figures
Finding Missing Sides Using Scale Factor
Calculating Scale Factor
The Student and Tutor reviewed quiz questions covering linear equations, including identifying and writing equations for parallel and perpendicular lines, and converting between different forms such as slope-intercept and standard form. They also extensively practiced solving absolute value equations, clarifying conditions for zero, one, or two solutions. The Student was encouraged to note down any future confusing questions to bring to the next session.
Standard Form of Linear Equations (Ax + By = C)
Solving Absolute Value Equations with Variables
Determining the Number of Solutions for Absolute Value Equations
Writing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b)
Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
The Student and Tutor reviewed key mathematical concepts in preparation for an upcoming math test. They practiced solving formulas for specific variables, tackled various types of percentage problems, and translated verbal phrases into algebraic expressions and equations, including solving a word problem.
Translating Phrases to Algebraic Expressions
Setting Up and Solving Word Problems
Mastering Percent Problems
Isolating Variables in Formulas
The Student and Tutor reviewed homework involving scale drawings and scale factors. The Student worked through a quiz, and the Tutor provided detailed explanations and step-by-step guidance on how to solve problems related to converting units, calculating perimeters, and finding missing dimensions in scaled figures. They planned to continue reviewing these concepts in the next session.
Fractions in Scale Problems: Improper Fractions and Division
Working with Ratios and 'Per' Statements
Perimeter Scaling vs. Area Scaling
Unit Conversions in Scale Factors
Calculating Scale Factors from Given Measurements
The Student and Tutor engaged in a geometry session focusing on various types of angles and their properties. They practiced solving for unknown angles in different configurations, including complementary, supplementary, vertical, and adjacent angles, as well as angles within circles and quadrilaterals. The session concluded with the Student applying algebraic methods to solve for unknown variables within angle expressions.
Complementary & Supplementary Angles
Adjacent & Vertical Angles
Angles in Polygons & Circles
Solving for Unknown Angles with Algebra
