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
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
Evaluating Expressions by Substitution
Operations with Negative Numbers
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 a Circle (A = πr²)
Circumference of a Circle (C = 2πr or C = πd)
Calculations 'In Terms of Pi'
Solving for Unknowns: Finding Radius/Diameter from Circumference
Area of Composite Shapes (Decomposition)
Area of Shaded Regions
Accuracy in Rounding and Estimation
Student and Tutor reviewed understanding exponents and worked extensively on identifying and applying properties of addition and multiplication. They also practiced writing variable expressions and correctly identifying terms and coefficients in algebraic expressions, including simplifying expressions with distributed negative signs. Student was assigned to complete remaining practice problems for the next session.
Properties of Addition & Multiplication
Distributive Property
Writing Variable Expressions
Identifying Terms and Coefficients
Simplifying Linear Expressions
The Student and Tutor reviewed geometric transformations, specifically dilations and compressions, and their associated scale factors. They practiced dilating points and shapes on a coordinate plane and identified similar triangles by comparing side ratios and angle properties. The Tutor requested the Student send next week's topics to prepare for the upcoming session.
Dilation and Compression: Scaling Figures
Dilating Points and Shapes on a Coordinate Plane
Similar Figures: Proportionality and Angles
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Theorem
Student and Tutor engaged in a practice session covering various mathematics topics, including evaluating expressions, solving linear equations, solving proportions, and converting decimals to fractions. The student worked through multiple problems, focusing on problem-solving techniques, sign conventions, and fraction reduction. The next session is planned to cover remaining topics.
Operations with Integers & Double Signs
Solving One-Step Linear Equations
Solving Proportions
Converting Decimals to Simplified Fractions
Writing Algebraic Expressions from Verbal Descriptions
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced writing variable expressions from word phrases. They then moved on to comprehensive lessons and practice on converting between decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers, including detailed instruction on handling recurring decimals. For follow-up, the Student is assigned to complete the current recurring decimal task, and a mini-quiz on all completed topics is planned for the next session.
Writing Variable Expressions from Words
Converting Decimals to Fractions
Converting Fractions to Decimals (Long Division)
Converting Decimals to Mixed Numbers
Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions
Simplifying Fractions
