Proofs are usually where geometry stops feeling intuitive and starts feeling impossible. Jane teaches students to read a proof like a logical argument — identifying what's given, what's needed, and which theorem bridges the gap — rather than treating each one as a memorization exercise. Her 6-12 math certification means she's built geometry curricula for diverse classrooms.

Proofs, congruence, and spatial reasoning in geometry require a different kind of thinking than arithmetic-heavy math courses. Kevin's chemical and environmental engineering training involved constant work with three-dimensional structures and spatial analysis, giving him a practical vocabulary for explaining angle relationships, similarity, and area calculations in ways that click.
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'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
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!
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 an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with the transition from algebra's procedural focus to geometry's emphasis on visual reasoning and logical proofs. Common pain points include understanding why geometric properties work (not just memorizing them), constructing formal proofs with proper justification, and applying theorems to word problems involving real-world shapes and angles. Personalized tutoring helps students build conceptual understanding so they can see the connections between different geometric ideas rather than treating each topic in isolation.
Proofs require a specific way of thinking—understanding not just what is true, but why it's true and how to communicate that logically. Expert tutors work with students to break down the proof-writing process, showing how to identify what you know, what you need to prove, and which theorems connect them. With guided practice and immediate feedback, students build confidence in their reasoning and learn to structure arguments clearly, which transfers to stronger performance across all geometry topics.
Word problems require students to translate written descriptions into visual diagrams, then apply geometric concepts to solve them—that's multiple steps of thinking at once. Many students can solve problems when they see a diagram, but struggle to create one from text. Tutors help by teaching students a systematic approach: identifying what information matters, sketching the situation, labeling known values, and then selecting the right theorems or formulas to use. This breaks the problem into manageable pieces.
Yes. Schools across Akron's 21 districts use different curricula, and geometry can be taught with varying emphasis on coordinate geometry, transformations, or traditional synthetic approaches. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand these different frameworks and can adapt their teaching to match what your student is learning in class. This alignment means tutoring reinforces classroom instruction rather than introducing conflicting methods.
Geometry anxiety often stems from feeling lost during proofs or not understanding why a property is true. One-on-one instruction creates a judgment-free space where students can ask questions without worrying about slowing down the class. Tutors meet students at their level, celebrate small wins, and show how to break intimidating problems into simple steps. Over time, this builds the confidence and problem-solving resilience that helps students tackle challenging geometry independently.
Expert tutors guide students to notice recurring ideas—like how angle relationships appear in triangles, parallel lines, and polygons, or how transformations reveal symmetry. Rather than treating each theorem as a separate fact, tutors help students see the underlying patterns and relationships. This conceptual approach means students understand geometry more deeply and can apply their knowledge to unfamiliar problems instead of just memorizing isolated formulas.
The first session is about understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's proofs, coordinate geometry, or building overall confidence. The tutor will likely review recent classwork or assessments, ask questions to identify gaps, and start building a personalized plan. You'll get a sense of the tutor's approach and can discuss goals, frequency, and any curriculum-specific needs so tutoring is tailored from day one.
Many students see noticeable improvement in understanding and confidence within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when focusing on specific topics like proofs or word problems. Longer-term progress—like mastering the full geometry curriculum or building strong foundational reasoning skills—typically develops over a semester or more. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, how frequently they meet with a tutor, and how actively they engage with practice between sessions.
