New York, NY Geometry Tutors

Geometry is the foundation of art. Look at the Chinese flag, 4 small stars are similar to the big star!

I tutor high school and college students, and help them get ahead of the program and stand out from their peers in subjects such as chemistry (first year and organic), mathematics (algebra, calculus, vector calculus, and differential equations), physics (classical Newtonian, modern, and electromagnetism), and English essay writing skills.

.• 10+ years of teaching, training, & tutoring experience.
• Tutoring for many undergraduate courses in math/statistics & economics/econometrics, as well as select courses in biology, physics, social sciences, computer science, systems engineering, and other subjects / areas. Select graduate course assistance offered as well.
• Tutoring for GRE/GMAT and SAT/ACT offered with individualized gameplan/schedule.
• Help with high school and middle school curriculum in math, quantitative sciences, social sciences, writing. Help with IB & AP classes and corresponding exams.
• National Merit Scholar & several (10+) AP Tests in High School.
• Will give personal scores upon request.

We are surrounded by space. And that space contains lots of things. And these things have shapes. In our geometry sessions we can explore the nature of these shapes, how we define them, and what they teach us about the world at large--from math to architecture to biology to astronomy (and everything in between). Geometry is at the core of everything that exists--including you. The specific topics we can cover include angles, intersecting lines, right triangles, perimeter, area, volume, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, analytic geometry, and geometric constructions.

I have a minor in mathematics from Brigham Young University and I tutored Geometry in high school and at university.

I have been tutoring math for 9 years, and recently helped several students through geometry. I can break down proofs step-by-step so they are much less intimidating! I focus on the thought process behind solving the geometry problems, so students understand how to approach future questions rather than just learning one problem at a time.

My name is Mena. I have a strong background in math with a degree in Actuarial science and have been tutoring the SAT, ACT, common core Algebra 1, 2, and Geometry for over four years. I have extensive knowledge of the testing strategies needed to make the exam fun and easy. I work with students to find areas that need strengthening then work patiently with them to hone their skills. Successful test preparation is largely about demystifying the test through time spent learning the correct approach which I have years of experience doing, with that confidence students can achieve any score they set their minds to.

You can expect a fun time, expert understanding of geometry and quite a few tips and tricks under your belt

I enjoy teaching math because I actually struggled with math when I was in school. I always needed extra help, and I needed every step broken down and explained in detail. Because of all the extra work I put into my math studies, I grew to really enjoy teaching it! It is usually very easy for me to identify why a student might be struggling, because it is likely that I have overcome the same struggle. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the “ah-ha!” look on a student’s face when everything finally starts to click.

I am new to the TakeLessons website, but the father of one of my students wrote this review on his own website: “Last year our daughter had a math teacher who was gifted at everything but teaching. The predicable result: a bad attitude, low test scores. We asked a friend about a math tutor. After hearing her rave about Elyse Laakso, we made no other calls. Elyse started with our unhappy child last October. By January, Wednesday afternoon sessions no longer ...
