I am confident that I can help your student.

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.

Great tutor

Abigail is helping my daughter to prepare for the SAT exam and the first time she took it (after sessions with Abigail) went up 220 points! But more importantly, my daughter likes her lessons with Abigail.

Ines, 12 lessons with Abigail

Extremely effective tutor.

Abigail helped my daughter move from a failing grade to an A in algebra. Her MIT pedigree shows in her deep understanding of math, but her teaching style is what truly sets her apart. She is professional, effective, and worth every penny. Five stars!"

James, 17 lessons with Abigail

Excellent tutor for AP Pre-Calc

We had a wonderful experience with Abby. My son worked with her for AP Pre-Calculus over the course of a semester after a rocky start to the year. She helped him raise his grade by a full letter while also filling in some important learning gaps from the previous year. Abby has an excellent teaching style—she’s clear, patient, and incredibly warm. She has a great tone and attitude that immediately puts students at ease, which made my son much more confident asking questions and working through tougher concepts. She was also very flexible, widely available, and responds to messages VERY quickly which made scheduling easy during a busy school year. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to any student needing math support.

Antoinette, 7 lessons with Abigail

Fantastic Tutor

Two sessions w/Abigail turned around my daughter's confidence with Geometry. She showed up with with enough energy to immediately engage my daughter, certainly knew the subject matter, and was an outstanding communicator both while teaching and organizing the logistics around the session.

Aaron, 5 lessons with Abigail

She is available, knowledgeable and patient

Abigail has worked with my daughter on SAT prep and with my son on Algebra 2. She is very quick to respond, flexible with her time and ver, very knowledgeable. She is clear with communication, helpful and very effective with her lessons. My children have really benefited from working with her. Fantastic tutor!

Suad, 24 lessons with Abigail

Clear communicator.

My daughter was very reluctant to accept tutoring help online. Abbey was a clear, calm communicator, and helped my daughter to understand geometry concepts she was missing from her class instruction. My daughter asked for subsequent sessions with Abbey because she found her instruction to be so helpful.

Laura, 10 lessons with Abigail

Great insights into math strategies for the SAT!

Abigail was great with our daughter and had excellent insight into how to approach the SAT math section. She was especially helpful with tackling the difficult questions that may show up in the second section of the digital test. She was very accommodating and responded incredibly fast to requests for teaching sessions.
