Reid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
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

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends. Hobbies: writing, art, books, reading, gardening, music

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Justin
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Ingrid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
Sabira

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art

Frequently Asked Questions
Honors Geometry students often hit a wall with formal proofs—moving from intuitive understanding to rigorous logical arguments requires a fundamentally different mindset. Multi-step proofs involving angle relationships, triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA), and circle theorems trip up many students because they demand both geometric visualization and logical sequencing. Coordinate geometry and analytic proofs also challenge students who haven't internalized the connection between algebraic equations and geometric shapes. Beyond proofs, word problems involving real-world applications of area, volume, and spatial reasoning require students to translate language into geometric models—a skill that doesn't develop automatically.
Expert tutors help students recognize proof patterns and develop a toolkit of strategies rather than treating each proof as a unique puzzle. They teach students to work backwards from the conclusion (what do we need to prove?), identify what given information is relevant, and spot opportunities to use theorems like CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) or properties of parallel lines. Through guided practice on similar proof structures, students begin to see that most proofs follow recognizable frameworks—establishing congruence first, then using that congruence to prove other relationships. This approach transforms proofs from intimidating logic problems into systematic problem-solving exercises.
Spatial reasoning—visualizing 3D figures, rotating shapes mentally, and understanding how 2D diagrams represent 3D objects—doesn't come naturally to all learners, yet it's central to Honors Geometry. Some students can solve an equation but can't visualize why a particular angle relationship holds. Tutors address this by using multiple representations: physical models, dynamic geometry software, sketching exercises, and step-by-step visual breakdowns. When a student struggles with a surface area or volume problem, a tutor might have them build the figure, unfold it, or manipulate it digitally to develop intuition before returning to the abstract formula. This multi-sensory approach builds the spatial confidence that's essential for success in Honors Geometry.
In Honors Geometry, "showing your work" means more than writing steps—it means justifying every claim with a theorem, postulate, or given fact. Many students skip steps or assume conclusions without stating why, which costs points on tests and proofs. Tutors teach students to annotate diagrams carefully, label all known information, and build explanations systematically: "Given: [fact]. By [theorem], we can conclude: [result]." They model how to structure multi-step arguments, when to use formal notation versus plain language, and how to catch logical gaps in their own reasoning. Over time, this disciplined approach to explanation becomes automatic, and students develop the mathematical communication skills that Honors Geometry demands.
Coordinate geometry requires students to fluidly switch between visual (plotting points, seeing shapes) and algebraic (using distance and slope formulas) representations—a cognitive leap that many students don't make automatically. Students might know the distance formula but not recognize when to use it, or they might plot points correctly but struggle to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using slopes and distances. Tutors help by explicitly connecting the algebra to the geometry: showing that equal slopes mean parallel lines, that perpendicular slopes (negative reciprocals) mean right angles, and that equal distances mean congruent sides. With practice on problems that require both calculation and geometric interpretation, students develop fluency in this dual-representation thinking.
Geometry word problems require students to extract spatial information from language, sketch an accurate diagram, and then apply the right theorem or formula—a multi-step process where students often get stuck at the translation stage. A tutor teaches students to identify key information (What shape are we dealing with? What's given? What are we finding?), draw and label a diagram carefully, and then match the problem to a familiar geometric situation. For example, a problem about a ladder leaning against a wall becomes a right triangle problem once the student visualizes it and labels the sides. By working through many word problems with explicit attention to the diagram-building step, students develop the ability to see the geometry hiding in the language, which builds both confidence and accuracy.
Honors Geometry's emphasis on logical reasoning and formal proof can trigger anxiety in students who fear "getting it wrong" or not thinking the "right way." Personalized tutoring creates a low-pressure space where students can ask questions, make mistakes, and see that confusion is part of learning—not a sign of inability. Tutors help students build confidence by breaking complex proofs into manageable steps, celebrating small wins (correctly identifying a congruence, spotting a theorem to apply), and showing students that even expert mathematicians need to sketch, explore, and revise their thinking. As students experience success with targeted practice and see their understanding deepen, anxiety naturally decreases and they approach harder problems with curiosity rather than dread.
An effective Honors Geometry tutor needs deep content knowledge—not just how to do proofs, but why certain approaches work and how different theorems connect to each other. Beyond content, they need strong visualization and spatial reasoning skills to explain 3D concepts clearly and catch where a student's mental picture might be off. They should be skilled at asking guiding questions that help students discover proof strategies rather than handing them the answer, and they need patience with the logical thinking process that Honors Geometry demands. Finally, they should be able to diagnose whether a student's struggle is conceptual (not understanding why a theorem applies), procedural (not knowing how to set up a proof), or notational (confused by formal language)—and adjust their teaching accordingly.
