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 methods for adding and subtracting negative numbers, focusing on the "Keep Change Flip" strategy and the rules of signs. They then practiced simplifying algebraic expressions, combining like terms, and applying the distributive property, with an emphasis on careful arithmetic and sign management.
Adding and Subtracting Negative Numbers
Simplifying Expressions with Variables
The Distributive Property with Negatives
Similar Triangles
Transformations: Rotations
Transformations: Translations
Transformations: Reflections
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced various aspects of inequalities, including identifying solutions, writing inequalities from graphs, and translating word problems into inequalities. They also began working on solving one-step inequalities. The Tutor noted that future sessions would continue with solving inequalities, comparing them to one-step equations.
Understanding Inequality Symbols and Phrases
Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line
Translating Word Problems into Inequalities
Identifying Solutions to Inequalities
Introduction to Solving One-Step Linear Inequalities
The Student and Tutor worked on the Student's high school summer work, focusing on numerical expressions involving rational numbers. They practiced applying the order of operations (PEMDAS) to problems containing decimals, fractions, mixed numbers, and exponents. The session helped the Student review foundational math concepts and problem-solving techniques.
Strategic Simplification of Rational Expressions
Order of Operations for Rational Expressions
Mastering Fraction Operations: Division and Conversion
Powers and Exponents with Rational Numbers
The session focused on reviewing inequalities, beginning with graphical representations on number lines and progressing to translating word problems into algebraic inequalities. The Student practiced interpreting keywords to select the correct inequality signs. For the next session, the Tutor planned a practice exam covering all sixth-grade mathematics topics.
Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line
Keywords for 'Less Than or Equal To' (≤)
Keywords for 'Greater Than or Equal To' (≥)
Keywords for 'Less Than' (<)
Keywords for 'Greater Than' (>)
The Student and Tutor reviewed algebraic concepts including solving and graphing inequalities, simplifying expressions, and calculating areas and volumes of geometric shapes. They practiced rate problems and worked on a word problem involving writing and solving an inequality. The session included technical difficulties with the Student's screen display.
