Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many 7th graders hit a wall when geometry shifts from simple shapes to reasoning about angles, area, and volume. The biggest trouble spots are understanding angle relationships (complementary, supplementary, and angles formed by intersecting lines), applying the Pythagorean theorem in real contexts, and visualizing 3D shapes from 2D nets. Students also struggle with the jump from "just calculating" to "proving why"—they can find an angle measure but can't explain their reasoning step-by-step, which becomes critical for more advanced geometry.
In 7th Grade Geometry, showing work isn't just about getting the right answer—it's about building the logical reasoning skills that geometry demands. When students write out their steps (like "angle A and angle B are supplementary, so A + B = 180°"), they're learning to justify their thinking, not just follow a formula. Tutors help students move beyond "I got 45°" to "I got 45° because these angles are vertical angles, and vertical angles are always equal." This foundation matters enormously because geometry in later grades requires formal proofs.
Not all students naturally visualize how a 2D net folds into a 3D shape, or how rotating a triangle affects its angles. Expert tutors use hands-on strategies—like manipulating physical models, sketching from different angles, or using dynamic geometry software—to help students build spatial intuition. They also teach students to slow down and label diagrams carefully, which turns a confusing tangle of lines into a clear picture. This deliberate practice with visualization makes problems feel less abstract and more manageable.
Geometry word problems often trip students because they require translating real-world scenarios into geometric diagrams and equations. Tutors teach a step-by-step approach: identify what's being asked, sketch the situation, label known and unknown information, then connect it to a geometry rule or formula. For example, "A ladder leans against a wall" becomes a right triangle where the Pythagorean theorem applies. Breaking the problem into these chunks helps students see the geometry hiding inside the words.
Angle relationships—vertical angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, and angles formed by parallel lines and transversals—are foundational but abstract. Tutors help by starting with physical demonstrations (folding paper, using protractors) so students feel the relationships, then moving to diagrams and finally to reasoning without pictures. The key is repeated exposure to "if this, then that" thinking: if two angles are vertical, then they're equal; if a line is parallel to another, then corresponding angles match. Students who see these patterns repeatedly become confident recognizing them in any configuration.
Many 7th graders memorize a² + b² = c² without understanding why it works or when to use it. Tutors build understanding by starting with visual proofs (like arranging squares on the sides of a right triangle) so students see the relationship before plugging in numbers. They also connect it to real problems: finding the diagonal of a rectangular field, checking if a corner is truly 90 degrees, or calculating distances. Once students understand the "why," they're much more confident recognizing right triangles and applying the theorem correctly in different contexts.
Rather than just handing students a list of formulas, tutors help them derive and understand where formulas come from. For area, students learn that a parallelogram's area equals base × height by rearranging it into a rectangle; for volume, they see how multiplying the base area by height fills 3D space. This conceptual approach means students remember the formulas and can adapt them when a problem is slightly different. Tutors also emphasize units—making sure students understand why area is in square units and volume is in cubic units, not just writing down numbers.
Geometry anxiety often stems from feeling lost in a fast-paced classroom where you can't ask questions or need extra time to visualize concepts. Personalized instruction removes that pressure: a tutor works at your pace, answers "why" questions without judgment, and celebrates small wins like finally seeing why a net folds into a cube. Tutors also help students build a toolkit of problem-solving strategies, so instead of feeling stuck, they have options to try. This combination of patience, explanation, and strategy-building transforms "I hate geometry" into "I actually get this."
