I am comfortable with either setting. I'm confident that I can help you (or your student) achieve to the best of their ability, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Samantha
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I'm a first-year medical student and recent graduate from Duke University, where I studied Global Health Determinants, Behaviors, and Interventions. From running a piano program at a nonprofit children's theatre to private tutoring in math, science, and standardized test prep, I enjoy helping my students become confident and self-sufficient learners! Hobbies: photography, travel, reading, music, writing, running, art, books, traveling

I am a Duke University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have experience tutoring all levels of Spanish language, all sections of the SAT, as well as algebra, pre algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus! I love kids & I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of patience! Let me help you :)
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector. Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, books, music, art, travel
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find proofs to be the biggest hurdle—moving from knowing geometric facts to logically justifying them requires a shift in mathematical thinking. Spatial reasoning with 3D figures, coordinate geometry involving distance and slope relationships, and trigonometry applications also challenge many students. Additionally, word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into geometric diagrams and equations trip up students who've relied on procedural shortcuts in earlier math courses. A tutor can help you see why these concepts matter and build the logical foundation that makes everything else click.
Rather than showing you a proof and expecting you to replicate it, a tutor guides you to discover the logical pathway yourself by asking strategic questions: "What do we know? What are we trying to prove? What theorems connect these ideas?" This approach helps you recognize patterns—like when to use congruence criteria (SSS, SAS, ASA) or properties of parallel lines—so you can construct original proofs instead of copying templates. Over time, you'll develop intuition for which tools solve which problems, transforming proofs from intimidating puzzles into logical conversations.
Many students struggle to mentally rotate 3D shapes or understand how 2D diagrams represent 3D objects—this is a skill that improves with guided practice and multiple representations. A tutor can use physical models, dynamic software, and strategic drawing techniques to help you build spatial intuition, breaking down complex figures into simpler components. They'll also teach you how to extract key information from diagrams and translate between different perspectives, which is essential for problems involving volume, surface area, and cross-sections.
Coordinate geometry lets you verify geometric relationships using algebra—for example, proving two lines are perpendicular by showing their slopes multiply to -1, or confirming a quadrilateral is a rhombus by checking that all sides have equal length. Many students see these as separate tools rather than different languages for the same concepts. A tutor helps you translate between the two approaches, showing how coordinate proofs can confirm what you'd prove traditionally, and when each method is most efficient. This flexibility deepens your understanding and gives you multiple strategies for tackling problems.
Geometry word problems require you to extract relevant information from a description, create or interpret a diagram, identify which theorems apply, and often combine multiple concepts—not just execute a single formula. Students often get stuck translating words into geometric relationships or knowing which of several possible theorems to use. A tutor teaches you a systematic approach: read carefully, sketch what's described, label what you know and what you're finding, then identify the geometric relationships that bridge the gap. With practice, you'll recognize common problem patterns and develop confidence in tackling unfamiliar scenarios.
Beyond knowing geometry content, an effective tutor understands the conceptual leap from procedural math to logical reasoning, can explain why theorems work (not just what they are), and recognizes where students' misconceptions come from. They should be able to draw clear diagrams, ask questions that guide discovery rather than just provide answers, and adapt explanations when an approach isn't landing. Strong tutors also help students organize their thinking—showing how to structure a proof, how to approach a multi-step problem, and how to check whether an answer makes geometric sense. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who excel at building both understanding and confidence in geometry.
Geometry anxiety often stems from feeling like you don't "see" what others do or that proofs are mysterious logic puzzles. Working 1-on-1 with a tutor removes the pressure of a classroom pace, gives you space to ask "why" repeatedly without judgment, and lets you build confidence through small wins—mastering one theorem, completing one proof, solving one tricky word problem. As you develop a toolkit of strategies and recognize that geometric thinking is learnable (not innate), anxiety naturally decreases. Your tutor can also help you see geometry's visual, creative side, which many anxious students discover they actually enjoy once the logical framework clicks.
Some curricula emphasize proofs and formal logic heavily, while others focus more on applications and coordinate geometry; some introduce trigonometry early, others save it for later. A tutor familiar with your specific curriculum understands your textbook's notation, theorem order, and emphasis, which helps them explain concepts in a way that aligns with what you're learning in class. More importantly, they can bridge gaps—if your class moves quickly through a topic, your tutor can slow down and build deeper understanding; if your curriculum skips a concept you need for standardized tests, they can fill that in. Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors who can adapt to your school's approach while ensuring you grasp the underlying geometry.
