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 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.
Identifying Equations and Inequalities
Solving One-Step Equations with Inverse Operations
Translating Word Problems into Equations
Distributive Property
Combining Like Terms
Order of Operations with Distribution
Multiplication with Variables
The class focused on practicing various mathematical concepts, starting with solving basic equations and decimal division. The Student then worked extensively on adding and subtracting integers, learning rules for handling positive and negative numbers in different operational contexts. For follow-up, the Tutor suggested the Student continue practicing similar problems and note any difficulties for discussion in the next session.
Solving Equations with Inverse Operations
Multiplying Decimals
Simplifying Integer Signs (Plus-Minus Rule)
Subtracting Integers with Different Signs (Absolute Value Rule)
Adding or Subtracting Multiple Negative Integers (Combining Negatives)
The Student and Tutor began preparing for high school mathematics, focusing on algebra foundations. They reviewed linear equations, were introduced to quadratic expressions and their graph shapes, and practiced simplifying expressions, solving equations, and rearranging formulas. The session concluded with an introduction to solving inequalities, with a plan to review 8th-grade material as homework and continue with inequalities in the next session.
