Mathnasium of St. Louis Park's personalized geometry tutoring programs are designed to support students at every stage of their math journey.
Through engaging instruction, students explore foundational topics such as angles, geometric figures, congruence, and measurement while strengthening spatial reasoning and logical thinking skills that prepare them for success in higher-level geometry.
Following personalized learning plans, we guide students through topics like proofs, similarity, circles, transformations, and the Pythagorean theorem, turning abstract concepts into clear, connected ideas that build lasting understanding and confidence.
Personalized challenges in advanced proofs, coordinate geometry, and multi-step problem solving help honors students and competition-bound learners refine analytical thinking and prepare for college-level mathematics.
At Mathnasium of St. Louis Park, our specially trained tutors work with students of all skill levels to help them truly understand and even enjoy geometry. Whether your student is in middle school or tackling honors-level high school geometry, we provide the caring guidance they need to grow their skills and confidence.
Using personalized learning plans and face-to-face instruction, we help students close knowledge gaps, strengthen critical thinking, and build a deeper understanding of geometric relationships and logic.
We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to promote math mastery through personalized, interactive instruction.
By combining assessment-based learning plans with proven teaching techniques, we help students engage with geometry in a way that makes sense to them, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and lasting understanding.
Our approach begins with a diagnostic assessment to identify the student’s current skill level, knowledge gaps, and learning goals. From there, we create a personalized geometry learning plan tailored to their needs.
Following personalized learning plans, our tutors guide students through the plan using a step-by-step approach that strengthens foundational knowledge and gradually introduces more advanced concepts, all in a supportive, engaging group environment.

What do you like most about learning?
I like to understand the world around me. I wish more people understood more about the world around them, too.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
We've had a number of students over the years who have gone through Mathnasium's program and are now instructors! Even for kids who don't love math, just showing them that they belong and their abilities matter makes a big impact too!
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I really enjoy teaching kids about divisbility rules and showing them connections that factors show up in all sorts of things: fractions, prime and composite numbers, ratios, and so on... I also love geometry (not proofs, though!) because our physical world is made up of shapes and measures!
How do you make learning math fun for students?
Geometry is math that makes me say, "Gee!" and by the way, it's "Gee, Imma Try!" and not "Gee, Imma Give Up!" I love to make kids cringe with my bad puns.

I love that it helps me see the world in new ways!
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
One thing I hope all my students gain when they work with me is the confidence to make mistakes! Learning starts when we understand why something is wrong and how we can fix it.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I love to teach all levels, but I have a special place in my heart for pre-calc and calculus. I love those 25-step, nitty gritty problems.

What do you like most about learning?
I like that learning new things recontextualizes the world around me. Every new piece of information I pick up helps to give me a new understanding of why things are the way they are, and I find it very satisfying for the pieces to fall into place.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
Treating each student with compassion and an understanding that everyone approaches learning from a unique place has helped me meet students where they are so that we can both have an understanding of how to work towards their math proficiency.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
I enjoy teaching algebra the most. I think that it acts as a sort of coalescing of previous skills and it is incredibly satisfying for both me and the student to see it click.
How do you make learning math fun for students?
Creating a light and positive atmosphere for students where we can balance fun conversation and getting math done helps to make learning math fun for students.
