Teaching geometry as adjunct faculty at Washington State University gave Moayad a clear picture of which proof techniques and spatial reasoning skills trip students up most — particularly when problems layer angle relationships on top of triangle congruence or circle properties. His two math degrees mean he can unpack the formal logic behind each theorem while keeping the visual intuition front and center.

A Stanford math degree paired with a history PhD in progress means Najja toggles daily between formal mathematical reasoning and the kind of argumentative writing that underpins geometric proofs — making two-column and paragraph proofs feel less foreign to students who think of themselves as "not math people." He unpacks the logic behind circle theorems, triangle inequalities, and angle-side relationships by treating each theorem as a claim that needs evidence, much like a historical argument.

Proofs are usually the first place Geometry students feel lost — suddenly math requires written arguments, not just calculations. Alice teaches students to read diagrams like stories, identifying congruence relationships and angle properties that make each proof's logic visible. She treats every problem as a puzzle with a strategy to uncover, which turns Geometry's abstract side into something approachable.

Proofs are usually the first place geometry students feel lost, because suddenly math asks them to explain *why* something is true instead of just computing an answer. Cory tackles this by walking through the logic of congruence, similarity, and parallel-line theorems as a conversation — asking questions that lead a student to construct the argument themselves. That approach builds the deductive reasoning skills that carry well beyond the geometry classroom.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

An econometrics degree is built on modeling relationships between variables — and in geometry, that same instinct for structure kicks in when students need to see how angle relationships, congruence criteria, and parallel line properties connect inside a single diagram. Chica teaches students to read a geometric figure the way she'd read a dataset: identify what you know, figure out what's linked, and build toward the answer step by step. Rated 5.0 by students.

Proofs are usually where Geometry students panic, but the logic behind them is surprisingly close to building a written argument — something Avalon spent four years practicing in USC's honors reading and writing program. She applies that same structured reasoning to angle relationships, triangle congruence, and circle theorems, walking through each proof step by step.

Flying airplanes requires constant mental geometry — calculating descent angles, visualizing approach paths in three dimensions, and reasoning about distances and bearings on navigation charts. Jon's commercial aviation training at the University of North Dakota means he can ground abstract concepts like angle relationships and triangle properties in real-world spatial problems that make the material feel less theoretical. He's especially comfortable with the measurement and application side of the subject, where precision actually matters.

I am an undergraduate earning my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington. I have already earned my Associate's of Arts with honors through the running start program, and graduated high school as a Valedictorian. I have worked with Disability Resource Services in taking notes for students, and have also offered assistance with homework to other students. As an engineering student, I am able to use my experience to offer assistance with math. I am also able to tutor in chemistry since I have already completed the general chemistry series. I believe that education is extremely important in life, not only for the purpose of knowledge, but also for the determination and ambition that learning teaches us. Understanding concepts not only takes time, but also dedication. As a student who has also attended many tutoring hours, I have come to understand that concepts sometimes require different approaches to finally have that idea click.

Working with Varsity is flexible and fun. I worked for over 25 years as a civil engineer solving flooding problems and improving fish habitat. I changed careers to teaching math about five years ago. I have taught high school math from Algebra I to AP Calculus. I enjoy working with people to achieve their academic goals. When I am not doing math I like to sail, ski rock climb and cook. I look forward to meeting you!

I developed a strong interest in mathematics after high school, when Algebra 1 showed me the value of learning concepts step by step. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Music Education, a minor in Music, and a K-12 Teaching Certificate, while also completing college-level coursework in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. Later, I returned to school for mathematics certification and went on to teach math from 4th through 12th grade during a twenty-three-year career in public education. I hold a current Washington Teaching Certificate in K-12 Choral Music and 4-12 Mathematics. For the past six years, I have focused exclusively on online math instruction, helping students with coursework, test preparation, and confidence-building through clear, logical explanations.

I'm a tutor who loves the moment when a concept finally clickswhether that's solving a calculus problem or debugging a first Python script. With experience teaching math from elementary to college level and professional training in full-stack development, I help students build confidence alongside competence in both math and programming. At Mathnasium, I worked with groups of 4-6 students at different levels, learning to adapt quickly to different learning styles. I bring that same flexibility to teaching HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages. I don't just give answersI guide students to discover solutions themselves because that's what sticks. Whether it's explaining why a for-loop isn't working, walking through derivatives, preparing for the SAT, or building a first web page, I focus on understanding over memorization. I'm patient but direct, and I adjust my approach based on what's actually working for each student. My goal is simple: make learning feel achievable, not intimidating, and give students tools they can use long after our sessions end.

Proofs are usually where geometry students hit a wall — the shift from calculating answers to constructing logical arguments feels like a completely different subject. Tom's background in American Studies, which is essentially built on evidence-based argumentation, gives him a unique angle on teaching students to chain geometric theorems into airtight reasoning. He also covers the computational side, from triangle congruence to circle theorems, with the same step-by-step precision.

Proofs are usually the part of geometry that makes students want to quit, but they're also the part that teaches the most transferable thinking skills. Benjamin approaches geometric proofs as structured arguments — each statement needs evidence, each step needs justification — which clicks especially well for students who think verbally. His background spanning both math and writing makes him effective at bridging that gap between visual intuition and formal reasoning.

Three years of tutoring math across elementary through high school gave Talia a clear picture of where geometry trips students up — and it's almost always the transition from calculating answers to constructing logical arguments in proofs. Her approach leans on breaking down each proof into plain-language reasoning first, then translating that thinking into formal geometric statements about congruence, angle relationships, or parallel lines. Rated 5.0 by students.

Proofs are usually where geometry stops feeling intuitive and starts feeling arbitrary. Anthony approaches them as logical arguments rather than rote templates, drawing on his background in math and philosophy to teach students how to construct reasoning step by step. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

Proofs are usually where geometry stops feeling like math and starts feeling like a foreign language. Ava tackles that disconnect by teaching students to read diagrams actively — identifying congruent triangles, parallel line relationships, and angle pairs before ever writing a formal statement. Her engineering background means spatial reasoning is second nature to her.

Most geometry struggles come down to proofs: students can identify that two triangles look congruent but can't articulate why in a logical chain. Sam's engineering and statistics background trained him in rigorous argumentation, and he applies that same structured thinking to walk through two-column and paragraph proofs until the reasoning clicks.

A math major at Washington University with a 35 ACT, Kathleen has the kind of fluency across algebra, trigonometry, and spatial reasoning that lets her spot exactly which prerequisite skill is tripping a geometry student up — whether it's solving equations inside angle relationships or applying trig ratios to right triangles. She teaches the "why" behind each theorem so students can reconstruct steps on their own instead of memorizing proof templates.

Proofs trip up most geometry students because they demand a completely different kind of thinking than computation does. Phillip approaches them as logical arguments: identifying what's given, what's needed, and which theorems bridge the gap. His engineering training at Brown means spatial reasoning and geometric relationships are second nature to him.

Competition math taught Tracy to look at a geometry figure and immediately spot the relationships that matter — which triangles are similar, where auxiliary lines unlock a problem, how a single angle chase can crack open a complicated diagram. That instinct, sharpened through years of math competitions and a 36 ACT, carries over directly when she teaches students to approach proofs and problem-solving with strategy instead of panic. Rated 4.9 by students.

Proofs are usually where geometry students start to struggle, because the logic feels completely different from arithmetic. Judah approaches each proof as a puzzle, teaching students to identify the given information, spot congruence or similarity relationships, and build an argument step by step. He's patient enough to let the reasoning click on its own.

Proofs trip up a lot of geometry students because they require a completely different kind of thinking — constructing logical arguments instead of just computing answers. Kirstie's liberal arts background actually strengthens her approach here, since she treats geometric proofs the way she'd treat building a persuasive essay: claim, evidence, reasoning. She also covers the computational side, from triangle congruence to circle theorems.

Holding dual degrees from UCLA in biology and mathematics-economics, Vinay brings an unusual ability to toggle between abstract reasoning and concrete problem-solving — exactly what geometry demands when a student has to move from reading a diagram to constructing a formal proof. He unpacks circle theorems and polygon properties by tying them back to the algebraic foundations students already have, closing gaps before they compound. Rated 5.0 by students.
