Many students view Geometry as an abstract subject, but in truth it has a variety of practical applications. If you're having a hard time retaining the concepts discussed in your classroom, Varsity Tutors can set you up with a professional Advanced Geometry tutor to help you reach your academic goals. A variety of topics are discussed in Advanced Geometry, but they may be broken down into three broad categories. Coordinate Geometry involves graphing a variety of expressions. Plane Geometry entails quadrilaterals such as kites and trapezoids. Finally, Solid Geometry involves the study of irregular shapes such as cones and tetrahedrons.
Here are some of the specific concepts you can review during Advanced Geometry tutoring sessions:
- Graphing quadratic functions
- Graphing two-step inequalities
- Graphing logarithmic expressions
- Calculating the length and area of quadrilaterals such as rhombuses and trapezoids
- Calculating the length and area of irregular shapes such as tetrahedrons and cones
Advanced Geometry tutoring sessions may be customized according to your individual needs. For example, if you're comfortable calculating the area of a trapezoid but have a harder time graphing algebraic expressions, your tutor can concentrate on graphing. If the problem lies in manipulating a graphing calculator, your tutor can provide practice problems until you are comfortable with it. Alternatively, a visual learner may find it easier to measure a cone if they can manipulate a model to visualize exactly what they are trying to do.
