William

AP Statistics Tutor • +56 Subjects

From my experience teaching math to a range of students, from middle school through college, I know that it does not come easily to everyone. However, I firmly believe that everyone has the capability for mathematical reasoning. Everyone has their own strengths and challenges, and my job as a tutor begins with identifying these. I like to have students work through problems while I guide them and make suggestions, so that I can get a sense of what they understand and what they don't. Then we can build on their knowledge and break down the challenging parts of the problem into smaller, more manageable chunks. I hold a bachelor's degree from UChicago and a doctorate from MIT, both in mathematics. I am available to tutor Latin, physics, and all levels of math. Outside of academics, I am an avid tournament chess player, and I enjoy running and cycling.

I am a graduate of Duke University( undergrad) where I majored in Philosophy and minored in Theater Studies. During my summers in college, I worked with EducationUSA Nairobi, an advising center for Kenyan students who wish to pursue higher education in the US. When I worked for them, I tutored high school graduates on SAT stuff and also helped them write better personal statements. After graduating from Duke last year, I started tutoring high school students in my neighborhood. I mainly taught math subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, Basic Math and Problem Solving but I'm well versed in Reading and Writing subjects as well. I'm vastly experienced and very patient with all my students. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proofs require a fundamental shift from the procedural math students learned before—instead of following steps to get an answer, students must construct logical arguments using definitions, postulates, and theorems. Many students struggle because they don't see the "why" behind each step or don't know which properties to apply. A tutor can break down proof-writing into manageable strategies: identifying what you're given versus what you need to prove, working backward from the conclusion, and building a library of common proof patterns (like proving triangles congruent before using corresponding parts). This transforms proofs from mysterious puzzles into systematic problem-solving.

Spatial reasoning—picturing how shapes move, rotate, and relate in space—doesn't come naturally to all learners, yet it's essential for topics like rotations, reflections, cross-sections of solids, and coordinate geometry. Tutors use concrete strategies like having students sketch from multiple perspectives, manipulate physical models or digital tools, and translate between 2D diagrams and 3D objects. By practicing these visualization techniques repeatedly and connecting them to specific problems, students build mental models that make concepts like volume formulas and perspective drawings click. This hands-on approach helps students move from confusion to confidence when tackling spatial problems.

Geometry word problems often require students to translate written descriptions into accurate diagrams first—a step that algebra word problems don't emphasize as heavily. Students must identify which geometric properties (like angle relationships, triangle congruence, or circle theorems) apply to the situation before they can even set up equations. Tutors teach a structured approach: carefully read and annotate the problem, sketch and label a diagram accurately, identify the relevant geometric relationships, then solve. Many students skip the diagram step and get lost; tutoring emphasizes that the diagram is your roadmap. This methodical process turns confusing word problems into solvable challenges.

Students often confuse angle relationships—complementary vs. supplementary, corresponding vs. alternate interior angles, or angles formed by tangent and chord—because there are many similar-sounding rules to remember. Rather than memorizing in isolation, tutors help students see the underlying patterns: why alternate interior angles are equal (parallel lines create symmetry), how inscribed angles relate to central angles (both measure the same arc), or why exterior angles of a triangle equal the sum of remote interior angles. By connecting these relationships to visual patterns and proofs, students understand them deeply enough to apply them in unfamiliar contexts, rather than just pattern-matching on tests.

Many students treat Coordinate Geometry as a separate topic rather than seeing it as algebra applied to shapes—they can find slopes and write equations of lines, but don't connect these tools to proving properties of quadrilaterals or finding distances. Tutors explicitly bridge this gap by showing how the distance formula comes from the Pythagorean theorem, how slope determines parallel and perpendicular lines, and how equations of lines define the sides of geometric figures. When students see that they're using familiar algebra to verify geometric properties (like proving a quadrilateral is a rectangle by checking that opposite sides are parallel), Coordinate Geometry becomes a powerful tool rather than a confusing new section.

In Geometry, getting the right numerical answer means little without explaining *why* it's correct—teachers and tests emphasize reasoning and justification more heavily than in algebra. Students must cite theorems, postulates, or previously proven statements for every claim, which feels tedious until they understand it's the entire point of the subject. Tutors teach students to think like mathematicians: state what you know, explain what property or theorem applies, and show how it leads to your conclusion. By modeling this reasoning process on simple problems and gradually increasing complexity, students internalize that Geometry is about building logical arguments, not just calculating. This shift in mindset makes grading rubrics make sense and helps students write clearer, more convincing proofs.

Students often confuse congruence (same shape and size) and similarity (same shape, different size) because both involve matching angles and proportional sides—the vocabulary sounds abstract. Tutors use visual comparisons and real-world examples: congruent triangles are identical copies you could overlay perfectly, while similar triangles are enlargements or reductions of each other. More importantly, tutors teach students to recognize *when* each concept applies: use congruence to prove that segments or angles are equal (via SSS, SAS, ASA), and use similarity to find unknown lengths or prove angle relationships in figures with parallel lines. By connecting these tools to specific problem types, students stop treating them as isolated definitions and start seeing them as strategies for solving different geometric challenges.

The circle unit introduces a flood of theorems—inscribed angles, tangent-chord angles, power of a point, secant-secant angles—that can feel overwhelming because each one looks different and has its own rule. Rather than memorizing each theorem separately, tutors help students see the unifying principle: all these angle measures relate to arcs of the circle. By focusing on how different configurations (inscribed, tangent, secant) create different angle-to-arc relationships, students build intuition rather than relying on memorization. Tutors also teach students to draw and label diagrams carefully, identify which angle and arc they're dealing with, and apply the appropriate relationship—this systematic approach makes the unit feel manageable and helps students retain concepts long-term.
