Mathnasium of St. Michael's personalized geometry tutoring programs are designed to support students at every stage of their math journey.
Middle school students learn key concepts including angles, shapes, congruence, and measurement, while developing strong spatial awareness and reasoning skills that support future success in geometry.
Following personalized learning plans, we guide students through topics such as proofs, triangles, circles, transformations, and the Pythagorean theorem, helping them truly understand how geometry works.
We support honors students and those preparing for math competitions with advanced proofs, coordinate geometry, and rigorous problem-solving, guiding them in developing college-ready skills and deeper mathematical insight.
At Mathnasium of St. Michael, our specially trained tutors work with K-12 students of all skill levels to help them truly understand and enjoy geometry through face-to-face instruction in a caring and fun group environment.
We help students connect geometric concepts to logical reasoning and real-world applications. As their understanding grows, so does their confidence to approach new problems with clarity and precision.
Our tutors use the Mathnasium Method™, a proprietary teaching approach that combines personalized learning plans with proven instructional techniques. We work with K-12 students helping them develop lasting understanding of geometry.
In each session, students receive face-to-face instruction in a small-group setting where they strengthen problem-solving skills and deepen their understanding of geometric relationships and logic.
Students begin their Mathnasium experience with a diagnostic assessment that helps us identify their current skill level, knowledge gaps, and learning goals.
Using these insights, we create a personalized learning plan tailored to each student’s needs. Our tutors then focus instruction on key topics such as angles, congruence, transformations, the Pythagorean Theorem, and proofs, ensuring they learn and master each concept step by step.

What do you like most about learning?
What I love most about learning is that it is a lifelong journey with no true finish line. There is always something new to discover. No two people learn in exactly the same way and the endless opportunities to grow are what make learning so fun and rewarding.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
As an elementary school teacher, the biggest impact I had was helping students build confidence in math and watching their skills grow throughout the year. Being part of that growth and helping them develop a stronger foundation in math was one of the most meaningful parts of teaching.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy math that involves problem-solving and critical thinking because it encourages students to explore different strategies and explain their reasoning. I find it rewarding when students realize there is often more than one way to solve a problem and begin to build confidence in their mathematical thinking.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I make learning fun by making connections to students' interests and incorporating hands-on, interactive activities whenever possible. I believe students learn best when they are actively engaged, so I try to create opportunities for problem-solving, collaboration, and real-world connections. When students are enjoying the learning process and feel invested in what they're doing, they are more motivated to participate and retain what they learn.

What do you like most about learning?
I enjoy learning math specifically because I find it interesting to see the different ways people approach the same problem. There are various ways to approach a problem and still arrive at the right answer, and it’s fun to figure out which approach works best for each person.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
We had a student come into the center who was really behind in math and needed to work on many fundamental skills. They were also quite shy their first few days, so I made sure the center was a fun place where they could be themself. Now, after working with them for a few months, they have mastered many of the fundamental skills they need to succeed in math, and have come out of their shell a lot!
How do you make learning math fun for students?
It’s important to me that I start off every session with a short conversation about how the student’s week is going and what they’re doing outside of school. Learning about each student's interests outside of school helps me build a relationship with them. Then, if a student gets bored or frustrated during their session, I have a few conversation topics to bring up, so they can take a short break and talk about their interests before being redirected back to their work.

What do you like most about learning?
I like challenging myself to learn skills or topics that are difficult for me. It takes a lot of hard work to master them, but the reward is so worth it in the end.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
One time, when I was helping a student who was struggling with coin equivalence, the strategy I usually teach was still confusing to them. I came up with a new strategy that built on their knowledge of multiplication and division and they improved a lot!
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I like teaching any level of algebra.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try to be as encouraging as possible. I think a huge part of becoming proficient in challenging math topics is just believing that you are capable.

What is the biggest impact you've had on a student's ability to become proficient in math?
While working with a student, they weren't understanding differences with fractions. The worksheet gave two strategies that didn't seem to help, so I explained a new way that made sense to me and the student. They've been doing well with it ever since!
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I like teaching algebra but also calculus, because it's freshest in my brain.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I create a visual so they can understand more easily. Then, be their biggest cheerleader and supporter when they make progress!
