Many students struggle with geometry, which is a standard high school topic. Studying with an experienced teacher who specialises in Geometry will help you get more from your classwork and assignments. With our one-on-one coaching, you will make significant academic progress in Geometry.
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with object size and shape, as well as aspects of space and figure location. Geometry is thousands of years old, in comparison to more recent fields of mathematics such as Calculus, which was founded by individuals such as Isaac Newton only a few hundred years ago. Its roots go back to the 6th century BC, but the Greek mathematician Euclid really helped the study of Geometry take off. As a pioneer in the field, he published his works in a book, Euclid’s Elements. We still use many of his postulates and proofs to this day when studying Geometry. This branch of mathematics took on an international approach as many people around the world have contributed to the studies.
Your student will face testing in Geometry in a variety of forms and preparing with a tutor will help them be better able to succeed. In addition to classroom tests that all students face, some states have end-of-year examinations, such as Virginia’s Standards of Learning tests, which students must pass to move on to the next grade level.
As your student prepares for college, they will need to take the SAT or ACT examinations to apply for their secondary school. These important exams test on a variety of Geometry topics. For example, the SAT covers topics such as lengths, measurements of angles, determining the area of a polygon, applying the Pythagorean Theorem, determining radius and circumference of a circle, solving for a tangent, calculating the volume of a solid, etc.
Geometry has numerous sub-disciplines, some of which are studied as part of your student’s high school curriculum and others which get studied at a higher, collegiate level. Some of the fields include Euclidean geometry, differential geometry, topology, and geology. A good Geometry tutor can help you develop a better understanding of Geometry. Starting out, your student’s Geometry tutor will help them learn more about the fundamentals of the course and basic skills that they need to have developed to succeed in the field.
As your student progresses in their studies, they will be able to learn more about a sub-discipline that interests them. Our Geometry tutors can help students succeed with their Geometry assignments and assessments by working with them in the way that best suits their learning style. Working with one of our Geometry tutors will provide significantly more benefit to your student than simply reviewing the content in class. In the United States, children often begin studying Geometry in greater depth in middle school, and many school systems offer Geometry as a separate course in high school.
