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 single-variable inequalities and identifying the largest integer that satisfies them. They then practiced graphing linear inequalities on a coordinate grid, learning to distinguish between solid and broken lines, and how to shade the correct regions. The next session will cover graphing systems of inequalities and finding their intersection.
Solving Single-Variable Inequalities
Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line
Identifying the Largest/Smallest Integer Solution
Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
Graphing Horizontal and Vertical Inequalities
Verifying Shading with a Test Point (e.g.
Origin)
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced problems involving proportional relationships. They focused on identifying independent and dependent variables, calculating the constant of proportionality (`k = y/x`), writing proportional relationship equations (`y = kx`), and solving for unknown variables (`x` or `y`) by substituting given values. The Tutor recommended using pen and paper for future practice to reinforce the concepts.
Understanding Proportional Relationships: y = kx
Identifying Variables (x and y) in Word Problems
Calculating the Constant of Proportionality (k)
Writing the Proportional Equation (y = kx) with a Specific k
Solving for Unknown Variables (x or y) Using Substitution
The Student reported achieving 100% on a recent test covering previously learned material. The Tutor and Student then extensively covered the point-slope formula, including converting equations to slope-intercept form, graphing lines from point-slope equations, and constructing point-slope equations from graphs or two given points. They also briefly revisited calculating the slope from two points.
Point-Slope Formula: The Foundation
Converting Point-Slope to Slope-Intercept
Graphing from Point-Slope Form
Writing Point-Slope from a Graph
Calculating Slope from Two Points
The student and Tutor practiced identifying proportional relationships from equations, tables, and graphs. They focused on understanding the form y = kx and how to calculate the constant of proportionality. The student worked through multiple exercises applying these concepts, including completing tables and plotting points for proportional equations.
Proportional Relationships: The Equation Form
Identifying Proportionality from Tables
Identifying Proportionality from Graphs
Constructing Equations from Tables
Graphing Proportional Relationships from Equations
The session centered on solving proportions, where the Student practiced identifying patterns, reducing fractions, and applying the correct operations based on the direction of the unknown variable. The Tutor clarified the concept of inverse operations when dealing with opposite directions in proportions and set homework to include showing work for problem-solving.
Understanding Proportions
Finding the Scale Factor (Pattern Recognition)
Simplifying Fractions in Proportions
Directional Operations for Unknowns
Setting Up Proportional Word Problems
The Student and Tutor reviewed several word problems related to inequalities in preparation for an upcoming test. They focused on correctly setting up inequalities from contextual information, identifying variables and constants, interpreting inequality signs, and solving for variables or determining feasible ordered pair solutions. Practice questions were used to reinforce these problem-solving methods.
Checking Viable Solutions with Ordered Pairs
Setting Up Inequalities for Profit and Revenue Goals
Differentiating Variable Costs/Revenue from Flat Fees
Setting Up and Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities
Solving Single-Variable Linear Inequalities
Translating Word Problems into Linear Inequalities
