Geometry tutoring: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering geometry tutoring
You tutor students in geometry, from shapes and angles through proofs, area and volume. Your sessions work best when you tie every step of a proof to a reason and have the student draw the diagram themselves.
What customers ask
- Can you help my child with proofs?
- Do you use drawing tools?
- How do you help with area and volume?
- Do you work from the school's textbook?
- What should my child bring?
- Do you tutor adults returning to school?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the student's course, the unit they are on and the next test date, then say what you will check first
- Start with the vocabulary and a few angle rules on a diagram the student draws
- Teach one proof at a time, with a reason written next to each statement
- Put the number of sessions, length, format and cancellation terms in the quote
- Have the student draw the diagram on their own before you show them yours
- Send a short written summary after each session with the rule covered and one proof to practice
What to put on your profile
- Your teaching background, including degrees and the geometry levels you have taught
- The courses you tutor, from middle school geometry to college geometry
- Whether you tutor in person, online or both, and the drawing tools you use
- Results you can share with permission, such as the proofs a student completed
- A background check listed on your profile, if you have one, when you work with minors
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A proof practice set with one statement to explain and reasons to write
- A test prep block before a unit test on area or volume
- A check-in with the parent after a few weeks to review progress
- A summer session to fill gaps before the next course
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to tutor geometry privately. Keep your degree or teaching credentials on your profile, complete a background check if you work with minors, and check with your state or local licensing agency for any rules that apply if you tutor through a school or program.
Questions
Do I need a background check to tutor a child?
Many parents ask for one, and many tutoring companies and schools require one before you work with minors. Keep a copy on your profile when you have it.
How do I handle a student who wants to skip the reasons in a proof?
Ask them to explain the reason for the last step in their own words. Show them that a proof is an argument, and that the reason is what the grader is checking.
