Award-Winning Geometry Tutors
serving Salt Lake City, UT

Proofs tend to be the stumbling block in Geometry — students can calculate angles but freeze when asked to justify why. Kristina's doctoral research in Biomedical Engineering required rigorous logical argumentation, and she applies that same structured reasoning to teach students how to build a proof from postulates and theorems step by step.

Proofs trip up a lot of geometry students because they require a completely different kind of thinking than computation — you're building a logical argument, not solving for x. Kristin approaches proofs and constructions by connecting them to visual intuition first, then layering in the formal reasoning. She also covers the measurement and coordinate geometry sides of the course that often get overshadowed.

A geophysics degree from CU Boulder means Garrett spent years interpreting subsurface structures, reading topographic maps, and thinking in three dimensions — skills that translate directly to geometry problems involving spatial reasoning, angle relationships, and properties of shapes. He leans heavily on visual aids and real-world analogies to make abstract concepts like transformations and similarity feel concrete. Rated 4.8 by students.

Eric's mechanical engineering background means he's spent years working with geometric constraints in real design contexts — tolerances, angles, load-bearing shapes — which gives him a practical feel for why properties of triangles and circles matter beyond the textbook. He unpacks proof logic by treating each step like a troubleshooting sequence, helping students see what information they already have and what single relationship unlocks the next line.

My tutoring approach is one of coaching, mentoring, and helping the student understand exactly what level and detail of help that they need to get ahead. Combining the personal discipline learned during 20 years as a Naval Officer with the unique expertise learned in one-on-one communication with peers and sailors as well as my five children, I can help you or your child succeed. A Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, and a Math Minor help qualify me for tutoring in many subjects. My individualized tutoring methods also raised my step-son's Physics grade from a C to an A in one semester. I specialize in mathematics (basic arithmetic through calculus) but can help in many other subjects. Learning should be fun, but should also, at times, bring "Instant" results. I work to keep positive encouragement in every lesson, tutoring, or test preparation session. I speak fluent Spanish!

The jump from algebra to geometry trips up a lot of students because suddenly math is about diagrams, spatial relationships, and building arguments — not just solving equations. Matthew tackles that transition head-on, teaching students to read figures carefully and connect properties of parallel lines, triangles, and circles to the logical steps needed in each problem. Rated 4.8 by students.

Proofs are usually the first place Geometry students feel lost, because suddenly math requires written reasoning instead of just computation. Ali's training in Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Utah gives her an unusual edge here — she teaches students to build a logical argument with definitions and theorems the same way they'd structure a persuasive essay. That combination of math skill and communication makes proof-writing far less intimidating.

Proofs and spatial reasoning make Geometry feel like a completely different subject from the algebra most students are used to. Taylor approaches it by teaching students to visualize transformations and angle relationships systematically, connecting geometric logic to the kind of structured thinking he uses in his mechanical engineering program at BYU.

Proofs are usually the make-or-break moment in geometry — students who've relied on formulas suddenly have to construct logical arguments. John's physics training gave him years of practice translating spatial reasoning into precise, step-by-step logic, and he brings that same rigor to angle relationships, triangle congruence, and coordinate geometry. He teaches students to see the structure behind each proof rather than guessing at the next line.

Most Geometry struggles come down to proof structure — students can see that two triangles look congruent but can't articulate why in a logical chain. Matthew approaches proofs the same way he approaches physics derivations: identify what you know, state your assumptions, and build toward the conclusion one justified step at a time. His 34 ACT composite reflects the kind of precise, methodical reasoning he brings to angle relationships, similarity, and circle theorems.

Proofs are what make geometry feel alien compared to every math class before it, because suddenly students need to justify every step in a logical chain. Kacey teaches proof-writing as a skill separate from the theorems themselves — once a student learns to organize given information, identify what's missing, and build an argument, even circle theorems and triangle congruence become manageable.

Teaching across six languages and subjects from pre-algebra through calculus, Helaman has an unusual ability to explain geometric vocabulary and reasoning in ways that cut through the jargon — especially useful for students who understand shapes visually but freeze when a problem uses formal terms like "corresponding angles" or "AA similarity." He breaks down the language of proofs and theorem statements the way he'd break down a new phrase in Spanish or German: piece by piece, until the structure makes sense on its own.

I'm patient, personable, and have an incredible gift for explaining things in a way that makes sense. I majored in Math Education (with a minor in Computer Science), and I have more than eight years of experience teaching math and other STEM subjects.

Proofs are usually where Geometry stops feeling like math class and starts feeling like a logic puzzle with no clear entry point. Samantha approaches them as structured arguments — teaching students to identify given information, choose the right theorem, and build each step deliberately. Her analytical training as a mechanical engineering major at the University of Utah carries over naturally to geometric reasoning and spatial thinking.

Proofs trip up a lot of Geometry students because they demand a completely different kind of thinking — logical chains instead of computation. Joseph approaches each proof as a puzzle, teaching students to identify congruence shortcuts like SAS and AAS and then assemble arguments that hold together. His computational math training gives him a knack for making abstract reasoning feel concrete.

Proofs are where most geometry students start to struggle, because suddenly math requires building logical arguments instead of just computing answers. Margaret's background in both computer science and political science at Stanford means she thinks in structured logic all day — and she brings that same rigor to angle relationships, congruence, and circle theorems.

Three years of tutoring math across elementary through high school gave Talia a clear picture of where geometry trips students up — and it's almost always the transition from calculating answers to constructing logical arguments in proofs. Her approach leans on breaking down each proof into plain-language reasoning first, then translating that thinking into formal geometric statements about congruence, angle relationships, or parallel lines. Rated 5.0 by students.

Proofs trip up a lot of Geometry students because they require a completely different kind of thinking — constructing logical arguments instead of just computing answers. Michelle approaches proofs and spatial reasoning the way she approaches scientific problems: systematically, breaking each claim into smaller pieces until the conclusion becomes obvious.

Proofs are usually where geometry students start to struggle, because the logic feels completely different from arithmetic. Judah approaches each proof as a puzzle, teaching students to identify the given information, spot congruence or similarity relationships, and build an argument step by step. He's patient enough to let the reasoning click on its own.

Cornell's biological engineering program threw Mary into years of modeling physical systems — fluid flow through channels, stress on biomaterials, device dimensions — all of which demand precise geometric reasoning about shapes, cross-sections, and spatial relationships. She brings that practical fluency to topics like circle theorems, properties of quadrilaterals, and area-volume calculations, making abstract definitions feel grounded in real measurement. Rated 5.0 by students.

Proofs trip up a lot of geometry students because they require a completely different kind of thinking — constructing logical arguments instead of just computing answers. Kirstie's liberal arts background actually strengthens her approach here, since she treats geometric proofs the way she'd treat building a persuasive essay: claim, evidence, reasoning. She also covers the computational side, from triangle congruence to circle theorems.

Proofs are usually where geometry students panic — the logic feels nothing like the computation they're used to. Rachel spent her Dartmouth engineering program constructing logical arguments from axioms and constraints, so she's comfortable walking students through how to set up two-column and paragraph proofs while also tackling area, volume, and triangle congruence.

Dennis's research into quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings — like Penrose tilings of rhombuses — is geometry at its most fascinating, exploring how shapes fit together under unusual symmetry rules. That deep spatial intuition carries directly into high school Geometry, where he teaches proofs, congruence, and circle theorems by encouraging students to reason visually before writing anything formal.

Holding dual degrees from UCLA in biology and mathematics-economics, Vinay brings an unusual ability to toggle between abstract reasoning and concrete problem-solving — exactly what geometry demands when a student has to move from reading a diagram to constructing a formal proof. He unpacks circle theorems and polygon properties by tying them back to the algebraic foundations students already have, closing gaps before they compound. Rated 5.0 by students.

A biology major from Rice with a 1570 SAT, Perry approaches geometry problems the way he approaches lab work — by breaking complex diagrams into discrete, manageable pieces and reasoning through each relationship step by step. He's especially effective at teaching circle theorems and polygon properties, where students often know the individual rules but freeze when a problem layers several together. Rated 5.0 by students.

An MIT math major doing research in Spectral Graph Theory, Enrico brings a deep comfort with spatial structures and relationships that makes geometry's core ideas — congruence, similarity, transformations — feel like natural extensions of logical thinking rather than a pile of disconnected rules. He emphasizes building intuition around definitions so that when a problem asks students to prove two triangles congruent or reason about angle bisectors, the right approach surfaces on its own. Rated 5.0 by students.

Competition math taught Tracy to look at a geometry figure and immediately spot the relationships that matter — which triangles are similar, where auxiliary lines unlock a problem, how a single angle chase can crack open a complicated diagram. That instinct, sharpened through years of math competitions and a 36 ACT, carries over directly when she teaches students to approach proofs and problem-solving with strategy instead of panic.
