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 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.
Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line
Solving Linear Inequalities
Volume of a Triangular Prism
Area of Composite Figures
Solving Inequalities for Real-World Problems
The Tutor and Student worked through practice geometry problems, focusing on calculating surface area and volume for various shapes like cylinders and spheres. They also practiced problems involving ratios, scale factors, and unit conversions, with the Tutor explaining key formulas and problem-solving strategies.
Surface Area vs. Volume
Calculating Surface Area of Cylinders
Ratios and Scale Factors in Geometry
Unit Conversion and Dimensional Analysis
The Tutor and Student reviewed the concept of surface area for cylinders, focusing on the formula SA = 2πr² + 2πrh. They practiced calculating surface area with and without approximating π, and worked on problems where they had to solve for the height or radius given the surface area.
Surface Area of a Cylinder
Nets of 3D Shapes
Approximating Pi (π)
Units of Area
The Tutor and Student reviewed specific areas of mathematics, including percentages and algebra, with a focus on probability concepts within statistics. They practiced solving word problems involving discounts, markups, and marble probability, and discussed the preference for free-response practice questions for better assessment of understanding. The next session will focus more on algebra with potential for additional percentage review before the student's math test on June 12th.
Percentage Markup and Discounts
Probability Basics with Marbles
Algebraic Equations: Solving for Unknowns
Multiplying Signed Numbers
Algebraic Expressions and Substitution
Angles in Geometry: Complementary and Supplementary
Interpreting Graphs for Rate and Cost
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts related to functions, graphs, and data representation, including identifying increasing/decreasing functions, differentiating between line graphs and scatter plots, and determining linear versus nonlinear functions. They also briefly touched upon calculating sample spaces for probability.
