I love tutoring. Helping my students learn and enjoy math (or any subject) is my favorite thing to do. My goal is to not only help my students be more confident in their studies but also create a fun and encouraging environment. I want my students to look forward to their tutoring sessions. I encourage all my students to text me if they have any questions about their homework. I try to be an encouraging and enthusiastic mentor for my students. :). My most popular subjects are algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalc (both AP precalc and regular), calculus (both regular, AP AB & BC), and chemistry. I received a 5 on the AP BC & AB Calc exams in high school.

In addition to everything above, I am a Kaplan-trained SAT tutor. I have been tutoring SAT and ACT prep privately for over 15 years and have helped 400+ students achieve a 750+ on the SAT Math section. I am very familiar with the new digital SAT format, including Desmos strategies to help ace the digital SAT Math section. My SAT and ACT students have received admission to many top colleges, including all eight Ivy League universities, Stanford, Duke, and Northwestern.

I am very familiar with the Regents curriculum. I received a 100 on the Integrated Algebra, Algebra 2 / Trigonometry, Geometry, Chemistry, and American History Regents. I scored a 90+ on all Regents exams I took.

If you are interested, please send me an email. I will respond promptly. Thanks!

Excellent SAT Math Prep - Highly Recommend!

Abigail was phenomenal in preparing my son for the SAT math section. With just a handful of focused sessions the week before the test, she helped my son achieve a perfect 800 score. Abigail clearly knew how to identify key areas for improvement and provided targeted strategies that made all the difference in such a short timeframe. Her expertise and effective teaching approach delivered outstanding results when it mattered most. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and would definitely recommend Abigail to other parents looking for top-quality SAT math preparation.

The Best SAT Math Tutor (Results: 520 to 760)

Working with Abbey was the best decision we made for my son’s SAT prep. She blends deep math expertise with a warm, patien and genuinely fun approach that my son really enjoyed. From day one, she built a personalized plan, analyzed practice tests and homework to pinpoint gaps, and taught practical strategies for timing, accuracy, and core skills. The results speak for themselves with his SAT Math score climbing from a 520 to 760. It took steady work over time, but she delivered and his confidence and interest in math have grown tremendously. He looked forward to every session with her. Abbey brings great energy and enthusiasm, connects easily with students, and breaks down complex concepts so they click. She was always prepared, punctual, and excellent at communicating progress and next steps. Abbey is a true professional and a genuinely kind person. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and recommend her without hesitation.

Abbey is a quick communicator and very detailed at her job!

Abbey is a quick communicator and very detailed at her job! I was hesitant with her price but after reading her reviews I decided to book a session. My son attends a boarding highschool for gifted children. He was never a great test taker. He took the SAT when he was 12yrs old and pretty much didn't increase his score once he started high school at 13 as a sophomore. He had a math tutor from the same website who helped explain math concepts but he was still staying pretty much at the same level. With the fall approaching quickly I wanted to make sure his SAT score matched his ability as close as possible. What sets Abbey apart from other tutors as it relates to SAT is that she is knowledgeable and organizes the student game plan! Verse just teaching what they got wrong during the test. During the first session Abbey was quickly able to identify some key strategies for my son. Additionally, Abbey mentioned that the best strategy for my son to increase his score would be to focus on English since his math was at a decent level already. We booked a total of 5 sessions with her. For the first time he was able to move away from where he plateau and closer to his target score. I wish my son would have started sooner with her. Abbey will now be in my backpack when my daughter goes through the SAT process. If you are looking to increase your child's score the investment in Abbey will get you there.

Abigail is truly amazing!

Abigail was incredible in helping my daughter prepare for the math SAT. Our goal was to raise her score by 20 points in just three weeks — and thanks to Abigail’s focused, strategic approach, she improved by 60 points! From the very first session, Abigail quickly identified the exact concepts my daughter needed to work on and created a clear plan to tackle them. Her expertise, professionalism, and supportive teaching style made all the difference. She kept my daughter motivated, confident, and on track, even with such a short timeline. I am so grateful we found Abigail and cannot recommend her highly enough — she is truly amazing!

Perfect SAT Math Tutor: Highly Recommended

We are so grateful to have Abigail as our SAT Math Tutor. She is no doubt the best SAT Math tutor we worked with. She is very knowledgeable and patient, and she can pinpoint the weakness and focus on most needed area instead of just repeating same type of questions. She recommended the right prep books even before our first lesson and she provided my child with many practice questions to work on leading to the SAT exam. She is very knowledgeable and expert in digital SAT Math format and we are amazed on how well she could explain and help our child to build confidence. She is very compassionate and shows that she really cares about her students. We highly recommend Abigail to anyone who needs help on Mathematics.

Outstanding tutoring skills, Abigail is the best!

Abigail helped my son reach a 700 score in his last Math SAT test. In my son’s words: ‘Abigail knows how to explain everything and she finds simple ways to translate problems’. She manages the lessons in a kind and engaging way, very professional and caring. As my son completed his last lesson yesterday he called me to say he ‘will miss Abigail’. Definitely worth the investment!

Great tutor, and very nice person!

Abigail C. was my tutor for the math section of the SAT, and she was a great help. She helped me get used to the style of math on the SAT, and my math score improved by a huge amount. Before I had been lost on how to study for the test, and she really helped me figure out the best way to go about it.

Daniel, 11 lessons with Abigail

Abbey makes a good score great

My son had a very good math score, but we all felt he could do better. He had good tutoring before, but he wanted to try something different. We found Abbey and after the first session our son said she is great. He got his SAT score back this morning - it is great. The time and expense with Abbey was totally worth it.
