Deborah
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +28 Subjects
My MA in English with a concentration in Rhetoric and Composition, together with my MA in Adult Education and Continuing Education, qualified me to have a stellar forty-three-year career as a full-time college professor predominately in the University System of Georgia. I have successfully instructed multiples of thousands of students with varying degrees of academic abilities, beginning with at-risk to advanced learners. A substantial amount of my career was spent preparing these learners to pass standardized essay exams, computerized COMPASS Writing Skills Exams, and COMPASS Reading Skills Exams. Pass rates ranged from eighty to one- hundred percent. The subjects I am most passionate about teaching are all types of Writings (Expository, Argumentative, Business, Technical, and Research Writing) and Reading skills (comprehension, main idea, inference, vocabulary, etc.) on the middle school, high school, and college levels with all the ancillary subjects such as practical grammar, syntax, editing, standardized essay exams, computerized editing and reading exams, as well as computerized exams, such as ACT, SAT, and ACCUPLACER. I am equally prepared to tutor GED students. My philosophy about education is that all students can learn with the right amount of quality instruction and two-hundred percent effort. Additionally, a quality education is a necessity for a quality life. During my leisure time, I enjoy research and writing, listening to relaxing music, and watching football and basketball.

Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects
I am a current student at Rutgers University on track to major in Electrical Engineering. I tutor a wide range of math from elementary level up to high school and college. This range includes algebra, trigonometry, pre-calc and calculus. I have had many experiences through my high school and outside work at kumon learning centers in tutoring. I love helping students not only learn the material themselves, but being able to know it well enough that they can teach it themselves, achieving my goal of getting students to work autonomously without required help. The many interests I have outside of the classroom includes playing basketball, running, video games, and computer programming.

Amy
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.
Gabrielle
AP Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am recent graduate of Binghamton University, with a Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. I am deeply committed to the value of education, and believe that learning is a gift and an opportunity for growth that should be available to everyone. For this reason, I am passionate about tutoring and helping students, so that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in all subjects. In my free time, I like to go running, practice dance, learn new languages, and play ping-pong.

Anna
ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.

Frequently Asked Questions
Honors Geometry students often hit a wall with formal proofs—moving from intuitive understanding to rigorous logical arguments requires a fundamentally different mindset. Multi-step proofs involving angle relationships, triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA), and circle theorems trip up many students because they demand both geometric visualization and logical sequencing. Coordinate geometry and analytic proofs also challenge students who haven't internalized the connection between algebraic equations and geometric shapes. Beyond proofs, word problems involving real-world applications of area, volume, and spatial reasoning require students to translate language into geometric models—a skill that doesn't develop automatically.
Expert tutors help students recognize proof patterns and develop a toolkit of strategies rather than treating each proof as a unique puzzle. They teach students to work backwards from the conclusion (what do we need to prove?), identify what given information is relevant, and spot opportunities to use theorems like CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) or properties of parallel lines. Through guided practice on similar proof structures, students begin to see that most proofs follow recognizable frameworks—establishing congruence first, then using that congruence to prove other relationships. This approach transforms proofs from intimidating logic problems into systematic problem-solving exercises.
Spatial reasoning—visualizing 3D figures, rotating shapes mentally, and understanding how 2D diagrams represent 3D objects—doesn't come naturally to all learners, yet it's central to Honors Geometry. Some students can solve an equation but can't visualize why a particular angle relationship holds. Tutors address this by using multiple representations: physical models, dynamic geometry software, sketching exercises, and step-by-step visual breakdowns. When a student struggles with a surface area or volume problem, a tutor might have them build the figure, unfold it, or manipulate it digitally to develop intuition before returning to the abstract formula. This multi-sensory approach builds the spatial confidence that's essential for success in Honors Geometry.
In Honors Geometry, "showing your work" means more than writing steps—it means justifying every claim with a theorem, postulate, or given fact. Many students skip steps or assume conclusions without stating why, which costs points on tests and proofs. Tutors teach students to annotate diagrams carefully, label all known information, and build explanations systematically: "Given: [fact]. By [theorem], we can conclude: [result]." They model how to structure multi-step arguments, when to use formal notation versus plain language, and how to catch logical gaps in their own reasoning. Over time, this disciplined approach to explanation becomes automatic, and students develop the mathematical communication skills that Honors Geometry demands.
Coordinate geometry requires students to fluidly switch between visual (plotting points, seeing shapes) and algebraic (using distance and slope formulas) representations—a cognitive leap that many students don't make automatically. Students might know the distance formula but not recognize when to use it, or they might plot points correctly but struggle to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using slopes and distances. Tutors help by explicitly connecting the algebra to the geometry: showing that equal slopes mean parallel lines, that perpendicular slopes (negative reciprocals) mean right angles, and that equal distances mean congruent sides. With practice on problems that require both calculation and geometric interpretation, students develop fluency in this dual-representation thinking.
Geometry word problems require students to extract spatial information from language, sketch an accurate diagram, and then apply the right theorem or formula—a multi-step process where students often get stuck at the translation stage. A tutor teaches students to identify key information (What shape are we dealing with? What's given? What are we finding?), draw and label a diagram carefully, and then match the problem to a familiar geometric situation. For example, a problem about a ladder leaning against a wall becomes a right triangle problem once the student visualizes it and labels the sides. By working through many word problems with explicit attention to the diagram-building step, students develop the ability to see the geometry hiding in the language, which builds both confidence and accuracy.
Honors Geometry's emphasis on logical reasoning and formal proof can trigger anxiety in students who fear "getting it wrong" or not thinking the "right way." Personalized tutoring creates a low-pressure space where students can ask questions, make mistakes, and see that confusion is part of learning—not a sign of inability. Tutors help students build confidence by breaking complex proofs into manageable steps, celebrating small wins (correctly identifying a congruence, spotting a theorem to apply), and showing students that even expert mathematicians need to sketch, explore, and revise their thinking. As students experience success with targeted practice and see their understanding deepen, anxiety naturally decreases and they approach harder problems with curiosity rather than dread.
An effective Honors Geometry tutor needs deep content knowledge—not just how to do proofs, but why certain approaches work and how different theorems connect to each other. Beyond content, they need strong visualization and spatial reasoning skills to explain 3D concepts clearly and catch where a student's mental picture might be off. They should be skilled at asking guiding questions that help students discover proof strategies rather than handing them the answer, and they need patience with the logical thinking process that Honors Geometry demands. Finally, they should be able to diagnose whether a student's struggle is conceptual (not understanding why a theorem applies), procedural (not knowing how to set up a proof), or notational (confused by formal language)—and adjust their teaching accordingly.
