Geometry proofs, finally making sense.
Geometry is the first math class built on proof. Students who were great at following steps in Algebra 1 are suddenly asked to come up with the steps themselves.

What Honors Geometry tutoring looks like with us
Honors Geometry follows the Common Core approach in most states: transformations, congruence, similarity, and proof, plus right triangle trigonometry, circles, and volume. Proofs are usually the biggest hurdle.
Your tutor teaches proof as a skill with a method: mark the diagram, list what you know, work backward from what you need. We tutor regular Geometry too.
What a typical Honors Geometry course covers
| Unit | Topics |
|---|---|
| 01 | Foundations and ReasoningPoints, lines, angles, conditional statements, deductive reasoning |
| 02 | TransformationsTranslations, reflections, rotations, dilations, symmetry |
| 03 | Parallel and Perpendicular LinesAngle pairs, slopes, proofs with parallel lines |
| 04 | Congruent TrianglesSSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL, CPCTC, two column proofs |
| 05 | Triangle RelationshipsCenters of triangles, inequalities, midsegments |
| 06 | QuadrilateralsProperties of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids |
| 07 | SimilaritySimilar triangles, proportions, dilations |
| 08 | Right Triangles and TrigonometryPythagorean theorem, special right triangles, sine, cosine, tangent |
| 09 | CirclesArcs, chords, tangents, inscribed angles, equations of circles |
| 10 | Area and VolumeArea, surface area, volume, Cavalieri's principle |
Order and depth vary by school and state. Your tutor follows your class.
Where students lose points in Honors Geometry
Starting a proof
Most students know the theorems but not where to begin. A consistent method makes the first line obvious.
Reading diagrams
Assuming things from a picture that are not given costs points. We practice marking only what is known.
Algebra inside geometry
Many geometry problems are really algebra problems in disguise. We keep algebra skills sharp.
Trig ratios
SOH CAH TOA is easy until the triangle is rotated. We practice identifying sides from any angle.
What a typical session looks like
- First 5 min
Check in on class: what was taught this week, what is due, and when the next test is.
- Main block
Work through the topic that matters most right now, using your actual homework or class problems.
- Practice
Test style questions on the same topic, so the skill holds up under time pressure.
- Last 5 min
A short plan for the week, and the topic for this week's worksheet.
- After
Our support team sends the worksheet, marks it, and returns a written score report and a retest on the weak spots. Parents get a copy.
