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 unit rates, percentage conversions to fractions, and calculating percentages of a whole number. They practiced multiplying fractions and reducing them to their simplest forms. The tutor noted the need for further practice in multiplying fractions and reducing them.
Reducing Fractions: Finding the Simplest Form
Multiplying Fractions: Numerators and Denominators
Unit Rates: Finding the Best Buy
Percentages as Fractions: Conversion and Application
The Tutor and Student reviewed algebraic topics including order of operations, factoring, and solving various types of equations. The Student practiced identifying factors and classifying equations based on their solutions (one, none, or infinite). The Tutor and Student concluded the session and planned to continue their studies in the next meeting.
Factoring and Identifying Factors
Solving Linear Equations & Types of Solutions
Properties of Exponents and Squaring Negatives
Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)
The Tutor and Student reviewed 8th-grade math topics, including scientific notation, fractions, decimals, and exponents, before moving on to solving linear equations and systems of equations. The Student practiced solving problems and understanding different solution types, with a plan to continue this review in the next session.
Scientific Notation
Fractions to Decimals
Solving Linear Equations: Types of Solutions
Systems of Linear Equations
The student and tutor worked on the topic of expressions, equations, and inequalities, specifically focusing on setting up and solving linear equations from word problems and diagrams. They practiced translating scenarios into algebraic equations and comparing different solution methods, with plans to continue this topic in the next session.
Solving Linear Equations
Translating Word Problems into Equations
Solving Equations with Fractions
Multiple Solution Methods
Student and Tutor worked on evaluating one-variable expressions and performing operations with negative mixed numbers and exponents. They practiced substituting values into algebraic expressions and focused on correctly applying sign rules and exponent properties. The Student will complete the remaining exercises independently before their next session in two weeks.
Strategic Subtraction with Negative Mixed Numbers
Understanding Exponents with Negative Bases
Operations with Negative Numbers
Evaluating Expressions by Substitution
The Student and Tutor focused on understanding and calculating the area and circumference of circles, including applying formulas to find area from diameter and vice versa. They practiced solving problems involving inverse calculations (finding radius/diameter from circumference) and determining areas of composite and shaded geometric shapes. The Student showed improved understanding of these concepts throughout the session.
Area of Composite Shapes (Decomposition)
Accuracy in Rounding and Estimation
Area of Shaded Regions
Solving for Unknowns: Finding Radius/Diameter from Circumference
Calculations 'In Terms of Pi'
Circumference of a Circle (C = 2πr or C = πd)
Area of a Circle (A = πr²)
