Geometry trips up students who were good at algebra, because it asks for a different skill: visual reasoning and step-by-step proofs. On a shared whiteboard, a tutor can draw the figure with your child, mark it up together and show exactly how each statement in a proof follows from the last.
What we cover in Geometry
- Angles, lines & trianglesAngle relationships, parallel lines and triangle properties.
- ProofsTwo-column and paragraph proofs — how to know what to write next.
- Congruence & similaritySSS, SAS, ASA and similar-triangle problems.
- CirclesArcs, chords, tangents and inscribed angles.
- Area, surface area & volumeFormulas for 2D and 3D figures and when to use each.
- Coordinate geometry & transformationsDistance, midpoint, and moving shapes on a grid.
Signs your child could use a Geometry tutor
- Does not know how to start a proof
- Struggles to picture shapes or diagrams
- Grades dropped compared to Algebra I
- Mixes up formulas on tests
“He worked with our son off and on from 5th grade all the way up until he graduated from HS. He always knew what the material was and had a plan ready to go.”— Carrie Garner, parent

Frequently asked questions
How do you tutor Geometry online?
The whiteboard lets the tutor and student draw figures, label angles and build proofs together in real time — often clearer than paper.
Can you help with trigonometry in Geometry?
Yes, right-triangle trigonometry is part of most Geometry courses and we cover it.
