About Abby


Bio

I’m currently an Integrative Biology student at UC Berkeley with a strong academic background in science, math, English, and writing. I tutor students in biology and science as well as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, SAT Math, and SAT Reading and Writing. I scored a 1530 on the SAT with a 1550 superscore, so I understand both the academic content and the test-taking strategies that can help students improve their performance and confidence.

I’m currently an Integrative Biology student at UC Berkeley with a strong academic background in science, math, English, and writing. I tutor students in biology and science as well as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, SAT Math, and SAT Reading and Writing. I scored a 1530 on the SAT with a 1550 superscore, so I understand both the academic content and the test-taking strategies that can help students improve their performance and confidence.

My tutoring approach is patient, supportive, and focused on helping students truly understand the material rather than simply memorize steps. In Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, I break problems down into manageable pieces, identify gaps in foundational skills, and explain the reasoning behind each step. In science, I connect difficult concepts to simpler ideas and examples so students can build a stronger understanding. For SAT preparation, I help students recognize question patterns, learn efficient strategies, review mistakes, manage their time, and target the specific areas where they can improve the most.

I also tutor English and writing, including AP English Language, AP English Literature, academic essays, and college application essays. I can help students with brainstorming, thesis development, textual analysis, organization, grammar, clarity, and revision. My goal is for students to leave our sessions not only with stronger work, but also with the skills and confidence to approach future assignments and problems independently.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As an Integrative Biology student at UC Berkeley, I have a strong foundation in mathematics and use algebra regularly throughout my STEM coursework. I can help students with equations, inequalities, functions, graphing, systems of equations, exponents, polynomials, and other core Algebra 1 topics. I focus on breaking problems into clear, manageable steps while helping students understand why each method works rather than simply memorizing formulas. My goal is to strengthen foundational skills, address areas of confusion, and help students become more confident solving problems independently.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have over four years of experience tutoring Algebra 2 and helping students strengthen both their skills and confidence in math. I work with students on topics including functions, systems of equations, polynomials, rational expressions, exponentials, logarithms, and other core Algebra 2 concepts. As an Integrative Biology student at UC Berkeley, I also have a strong STEM background and understand how important a solid foundation in algebra is for more advanced coursework. I tailor my explanations to each student, break challenging problems into manageable steps, and focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind the math rather than simply memorize procedures.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored a 1530 on the SAT and earned a 1550 superscore, giving me firsthand experience with the preparation and strategies needed to perform well on the exam. I help students master SAT Math topics including algebra, functions, problem solving, data analysis, geometry, and advanced math. My approach combines strong content review with test-taking strategies, time management, and careful analysis of missed questions. I focus on identifying each student’s specific weaknesses and helping them develop faster, more reliable ways to approach SAT Math problems with confidence.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I scored a 1530 on the SAT and earned a 1550 superscore, giving me firsthand experience with the reading skills and test-taking strategies needed to succeed on the exam. I help students improve reading comprehension, evidence-based analysis, vocabulary in context, grammar, and their ability to quickly identify what a question is really asking. I teach students how to eliminate tempting incorrect answers, recognize common SAT question patterns, and use evidence from the passage to choose answers with confidence. My goal is to help students become stronger, more efficient readers while developing strategies they can consistently apply on test day.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I scored a 1530 on the SAT and earned a 1550 superscore, giving me firsthand experience with the skills and strategies needed to succeed on the SAT. I help students strengthen grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, transitions, organization, and rhetorical analysis while learning to recognize the patterns that appear frequently on the test. My approach focuses on understanding why an answer is correct rather than relying on memorized tricks, so students can apply the same reasoning to unfamiliar questions. I also help students analyze their mistakes, improve their pacing, and develop an efficient and confident approach to the Reading and Writing section.

Knowledgeable and great tutor!

My daughter had a great experience with Abby! She said Abby explained things in a way that was easy to understand and made really good use of their time together. I'm so glad we found a tutor my daughter enjoys working with! I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a patient, effective tutor who makes learning a positive experience!
