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 worked on mathematics problems involving the scaling of geometric shapes. They practiced calculating and comparing the ratios of areas and perimeters when dimensions were doubled, tripled, quadrupled, or halved. The session concluded with practice on scale drawing problems involving proportional reasoning.
Scaling Dimensions: Impact on Area
Scale Drawings and Proportions
Scaling Dimensions: Impact on Perimeter
Understanding Ratios & Simplification
Area & Perimeter Calculation
Student and Tutor clarified the session would focus on arithmetic and geometric sequences, correcting a previous misunderstanding about the Student's current curriculum. They reviewed identifying sequence types, calculating common differences and ratios, and applying both explicit and recursive formulas. The session concluded with practice problems, including finding common ratios when given non-consecutive terms.
Arithmetic Sequences & Common Difference
Finding Common Ratio from Non-Consecutive Terms (Geometric)
Geometric Sequences & Common Ratio
Recursive Formula for Arithmetic Sequences
Explicit Formula for Arithmetic Sequences
The session focused on understanding and applying scale factors and finding missing sides in scaled copies. The Student and Tutor practiced converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, multiplying and reducing fractions, and setting up and solving ratio problems from word descriptions to find unknown dimensions in scale drawings. The Student achieved proficiency in solving these types of problems by the end of the session.
Solving Scale Drawing Word Problems with Ratio Tables
Mastering Fractions: Mixed Numbers
Division
and Reduction
Finding Missing Sides in Scale Drawings (Fraction Method)
Calculating Scale Factors Accurately
The Student and Tutor reviewed key concepts for an upcoming math exam, including comparing linear functions from tables, graphing functions from point-slope form, interpreting function notation in contextual problems, and understanding range using set-builder notation. They practiced various problem types from the Student's test review and covered common pitfalls related to interpreting function values.
