Proofs are usually the first place geometry students panic, but they're really just structured arguments — and Rebecca treats them that way. Her background in architecture and urban studies gives her a spatial intuition she brings to everything from triangle congruence to coordinate geometry, making abstract relationships feel tangible.

Proofs are where most geometry students stall, unsure how to chain together postulates and theorems into a logical argument. Ashley's civil engineering training at Michigan demanded exactly this kind of spatial and deductive reasoning — calculating angles, areas, and structural dimensions — so she teaches geometry as a way of thinking, not just a set of formulas to memorize.

Proofs and spatial reasoning make geometry feel like a completely different subject from the math students are used to. Sheyna tackles this by connecting geometric logic to real, tangible examples — showing why angle relationships or triangle congruence rules work, not just asking students to memorize postulates. Her background in special education gives her a deep toolkit for making abstract visual concepts click.

Chemical engineering is surprisingly geometry-heavy — reactor design, fluid flow through cross-sections, and heat transfer all depend on understanding shapes, areas, and spatial relationships at a fundamental level. Raha draws on that applied background to teach geometry concepts like circle theorems and properties of polygons in ways that feel grounded and purposeful rather than abstract. Her dual graduate work in engineering and computer science also means she's comfortable bridging geometric reasoning with the algebraic and computational tools students need for coordinate geometry problems.

Proofs are usually where geometry stops feeling intuitive and starts feeling like a foreign language. Jonah teaches students to read diagrams actively — marking congruent angles, identifying parallel lines, spotting similar triangles — so that writing a logical argument about a shape becomes a step-by-step process rather than a guessing game.

Proofs trip up most geometry students because they require a completely different kind of thinking than arithmetic or algebra — you're building logical arguments, not computing answers. Hamid approaches each proof as a puzzle, teaching students to identify what they know, what they need, and which theorems bridge the gap. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that method clicks.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
