...Not all geometry classes are the same, but I've helped students through many types. Some students have difficulty in visualization of shapes and angles, some in applying algebra to coordinate geometry, and some in understanding the basic ideas of 2D/3D to area volume and surface area. Many students have trouble organizing the theorems and postulates for use in solutions. (read more)
