Trigonometry is full of things students try to memorize — the unit circle, identities, graph shapes — when understanding where they come from makes them stick. Animations on our whiteboard show how sine and cosine trace a circle, which makes the rest of trig click.
What we cover in Trigonometry
- Right-triangle trig & SOH-CAH-TOAFinding missing sides and angles.
- The unit circleRadians, reference angles and exact values.
- Graphs of trig functionsAmplitude, period and phase shift.
- Trig identitiesSimplifying and verifying identities.
- Law of Sines & CosinesSolving any triangle, not just right triangles.
- Solving trig equationsFinding all solutions in an interval.
Signs your child could use a Trigonometry tutor
- Relies on memorizing the unit circle without understanding it
- Gets lost when switching between degrees and radians
- Struggles to verify identities
- Trig is holding back their Pre-Calculus grade

Frequently asked questions
Is Trigonometry its own class or part of Pre-Calculus?
It depends on the school. We tutor trig whether it is a standalone course or a unit inside Geometry or Pre-Calculus.
Can my child use a calculator in sessions?
Yes — there is a built-in calculator on the whiteboard, and we also practice the exact values students are expected to know without one.
