Adeyeni

Trigonometry Tutor • +25 Subjects

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

Adrian

Geometry Tutor • +10 Subjects

I'm passionate about helping others succeed and that is why I engaged in tutoring. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Virginia and an MBA degree from Chicago Booth, I believe I bring a unique blend of perspectives and strategic thinking to the realm of tutoring. My journey as a tutor began during my own pursuit of excellence, as I prepared for standardized tests. I realized the pivotal role that skilled and passionate tutors can play in shaping students' academic success, and that is why I'm committed to paying forward the impact that tutoring had on my own educational journey by providing the best guidance I can provide to others. Having helped both high school students preparing for the SAT and adults tackling the GMAT, I've observed the transformational power of targeted instruction. What stands out for me is the engagement and focus that adult learners bring to their preparation. As a result, I find immense satisfaction in assisting them on their GMAT journey. I believe that understanding the individual needs of each student is paramount to tailoring effective teaching methods. I strive to imparting not just subject knowledge, but also study skills and problem-solving techniques that will serve students beyond the classroom. Subjects I tutor encompass a spectrum from mathematics, finance, business management and test-taking strategies. I'm excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors community, and I look forward to working with you, students, to contribute my expertise and passion to guide you towards your goals.

William

AP Statistics Tutor • +33 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.

Math has been my passion ever since high school - from earning 1st place nationally in Calculus and Linear Algebra, to competing on the AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME exams. At Princeton, I tutored peers in Multivariable Calculus, and since then I've worked with middle school through college students in Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus, and SAT/GRE quantitative prep. I'm dedicated to simplifying complex ideas and helping students build confidence in their own problem-solving skills! I also built my first artificial intelligence tool in 2018, and currently enjoy helping integrate LLMs and Agents for companies!

Zach

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a Yale University Berkeley College graduate of the Yale Class of 2012 with an Intensive B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Eager for tutoring opportunities, I welcome any of you who wishes to undergo SAT/PSAT or ACT Test Preparation that will get you the scores you need for admission to the college of your choice. As for my experience, I have tutoring experience in both one-to-one settings, going as far back as high school, and group/classroom settings, especially from my 4 years of tutoring with Yale MATHCOUNTS. As a likely future graduate student myself, it is my general goal in life to continue the tradition of passing forth knowledge. Not surprisingly, I have always considered tutoring and education among the most noble of professions where both parties, student and teacher, benefit and learn. What makes me an excellent tutor? Over the course of my life I have had the good fortune of cultivating a variety and number of skill sets, some of which are academic and social in nature. While I certainly consider academic prowess important for the success of any instructor, I would say the most important skill set I have developed is that of adaptability. If a tutor can adapt him/herself to the mode and manner of thinking of another, the tutor, as well as the tutor's audience, will have especially effective and enriching transactions.

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.
