Geometry is my personal favorite, because it id among the most misunderstood concepts in mathematics (which is ironic, considering it's one of the easiest once you are taught it the 'right' way). Students generally find Geometry hard because they cannot grasp onto the myriad new concepts they encounter. They get lost in the enigmatic theorems, lengthy identities and copious proofs that plague Geometry, instead of focusing on the main ideas. I teach geometry by utilizing a 'result-based' method, which exhorts my students to emphasize on what the question is actually asking, instead of trying to remember abstract formulas and dangling corollaries off the top of their heads. This method is highly effective and several of the seniors I taught benefited from it, because once they understand the concepts behind the questions, the other skills were complimentary and came automatically. Watch in awe as you suddenly start acing all of your Geometry tests, when I explain the simple concepts and

Geometry is about logic and proving to ourselves that certain relationships between points, lines, angles, and polygons are true. These are foundational concepts that are critical to grasp if you would like to pursue higher mathematics. Students who struggle with geometry do so typically because it is a shock to be thrust into a course taught with such rigid and formalized logic. I make it my goal as a geometry tutor to break down this intimidating facade and show students how to approach and absorb geometrical concepts using simple and commonplace examples of every day experiences.

Learning geometry is imperative. It is a subject that forms shapes and designs for problems found in precalculus and calculus, and having a proper mindset about object orientation in space is a necessity for more advanced math courses. As a tutor of geometry, I will cover problems in each segment and what may be expected on future tests. I will also show tricks for solving problems and easier ways of understanding what exactly is occurring with lines and planes in space. I shall also recite the daily or weekly lessons in simpler manners and time frames and allow to student to see the bigger picture

You can expect to be assisted in whatever coursework you have, and be provided custom tailored lesson plans and materials based on your learning preferences to help you achieve your goals.

I am great at explaining math step-by-step. I am very patient with my students. I will show them several ways to solve a problem. I will help them go above and beyond their expectations in math.

I break down steps to make math less intimidating. I draw visuals and use real life examples. With a positive mindset and some practice, math will be a breeze!

I have 8 years of experience as a tutor, including a gap year running an after-school tutoring program for at risk youth. I'm a firm believer that, despite what many students believe, almost no one is "bad at math." As a consequence, a major component of my job as a tutor is to help students develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed in any math class. Of the dozens of students that I've tutored over the years, I have yet to have a student whose grades did not significantly improve after working with them for a few weeks. In several cases, students who had previously failed math classes ended the year with As or Bs. I'm passionate about helping students achieve and I look forward to working together!
