Algebra 1

I have extensive experience tutoring Algebra 1, and it's one of my favorite math subjects. I tailor my teaching approach to each student's specific needs, finding the best strategy for them. Additionally, I am very familiar with TI calculators, whichallows us to use multiple methods for solving and checking answers. I am familiar with all Algebra 1 curricula, including Regents, IB, and Exeter math. Mastering algebra 1 is so important for future math classes. It is very hard to learn algebra 2, geometry, precalculus, calculus, and even the sciences with a weak algebra 1 foundation. Because of this, my goal is to make algebra 1 classes as enjoyable and educuational as possible. Loving and understanding algebra 1 is the key is succeeding in future high school math classes.

I firmly believe that achieving success in Algebra 2 is pivotal for a student's overall mathematical journey. A strong foundation in Algebra 2 is essential for excelling in precalculus, calculus, and standardized tests. My ultimate goal is to ensure that my classes are educational and enjoyable, fostering a love for math in my students.
Calculus

Calculus

I have 15 years of experience tutoring Calculus at both the high school and college levels, including AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC. Calculus is one of my favorite subjects to teach, and I work with students at every skill level—from students who are struggling with the fundamentals to advanced students preparing for the AP exam. I can help with limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives, related rates, optimization, integrals, differential equations, applications of integration, sequences and series, and other AB and BC Calculus topics. I am experienced with a wide variety of Calculus curricula, including Exeter Math. My approach goes beyond simply working through Calculus problems. When needed, we’ll strengthen the essential Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus skills that often make the difference between struggling with Calculus and truly understanding it. For AP Calculus AB and BC students, I can also help with AP exam preparation, test-taking strategies, FRQs, multiple-choice strategies, and calculator techniques. Every student learns differently, so I tailor my explanations to the individual student. If one approach doesn’t click, we’ll try another until the concept makes sense. My goal is to make Calculus understandable, build confidence, and keep our sessions both productive and enjoyable!

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.

Amazing Tutor!

Deciding to try and maximize my score one more time before college admissions, I looked to Abbey for help and she helped me accomplish my goal of 1500 and more! With just 7 focused sessions before my test, she helped me raise my score from a 1450 to a 1520! She is so patient and kind and knowledgeable and I highly recommend her!!

Excellent SAT tutor

Abigail tutored my daughter recently on SAT math. Math isn’t the strongest subject to my daughter. With the tutoring from Abigail, she improves her SAT math score from first try 680 to 780 within a couple of months. She is very motivating tutor and makes learning math fun. For my daughter’s case, she focuses on guiding my daughter to solve hard questions in a different ways based on her assessment. I strongly recommend her especially if SAT math isn’t your favorite topic! Thank you, Abigail.

Abigail C. Tutoring

Abigail has been tutoring me for almost a year now, starting the night before my math midterm. We have met, often multiple times a week, to talk both about Algebra II and Chemistry Honors. I have since passed those classes with wonderful final grades because of Abbey. Over the summer, as well, she has tutored me on the SAT and the ACT, and my SAT scores have increased by hundreds of points (I am not mentioning the ACT further because I haven't received my score yet). Abigail continues to tutor me on Pre-Calculus Honors and I'm sure that my grade at the end of the year will be great. Abigail is extremely knowledgeable in both math and chemistry and is very good at communication.

Ian, 72 lessons with Abigail

Highly Recommend!

My child's SAT math score jumped significantly after just 2 months with Abigail C. - we couldn't be happier. She pinpointed exactly where the child was losing points and built a plan around it instead of generic drills, pushing hard on the concepts that mattered while keeping every session focused and easy to follow. Scheduling was seamless and communication was spot-on the whole way through. If you want a tutor who actually diagnoses the problem and gets real results, this is the one. Highly, highly , recommended!

Ash, 12 lessons with Abigail

Great tutor!

Abigail has worked with my 11th grader for several lessons to prep for her SAT math section. She has been wonderful to work with. My kid thinks she explains math concepts well, is very knowledgable and clear with her instructions, and has been a great help in getting her ready for SAT!

Elsa, 5 lessons with Abigail

Highly recommend

My daughter has been working with Abigail for several weeks. We had a few goals when we were looking for a tutor. We not only wanted her to have improved test scores but we wanted her to have strong math skills as she is in dual enrollment for math heavy subjects. Ultimately we are hoping for our daughter to test into calculus next semester at our local university. Abigail breaks things down in a way that my daughter understands and has her solving complex problems with ease. All of their work together has helped her math score on the sat go from a 580 to a 720 and she’s scored 100 percent on tests and quizzes she’s taken in her classes so far. I feel confident that all of my daughter’s goals are attainable and I would absolutely recommend her as a tutor. My daughter is excited to continue to work with Abigail for the school year.

Sasha, 13 lessons with Abigail

Very knowledgeable and motivational

My son had a lesson with Abigail today. She knows the best tools to maximize learning to achieve the best scores. I was impressed with her fast response time and interest in helping.

Daly, 1 lesson with Abigail

Great SAT tutor!

My daughter worked with Abigail over 6 weeks this summer to see if she could raise her 730 Math score slightly. Abigail worked with her on strategies and specific problems at the harder end of the question sets, and Paloma just found out that she scored a 790!! She is so grateful for the work Abigail did with her and how she helped her to understand what to expect and how to navigate it. Abigail was a pleasure to work with and I imagine we will hire her to work with our younger kids when the time comes. Thank you so much Abigail!
