Vince Gerald

ACT Writing Tutor • +19 Subjects

Hey everyone! I wear a lot of hats but I'll try to summarize myself as best I can for you. Much of my time is taken up as a youth group leader, helping preteens open up and mature as they become young adults. As for music, I'm a classically trained pianist and a singer with my own album out and a European tour under my belt. Education-wise, I'm a pre-medical student hoping to graduate soon with a Bio B.S. Degree and minors in English and Chemistry. I'm also involved in Stress research at Seton Hall University and I'm the Vice President of the AED Pre-Health Honor Society. I currently work as an EMT in Paterson, NJ. If you'd like to ask any questions or need tutoring anywhere around my area don't hesitate to ask! Thanks.

Nicole

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

After volunteering on a medical team in Ghana in the summer of 2013, I now aspire to become a pediatrician for under-served populations. I graduated from Emory University with a degree in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Visual Arts, but I rather than apply to medical school straight away, I opted to take a few gap years. Currently, I am a graduate student at Columbia University in the process of completing a Master of Science in Human Nutrition, and when I return to Rhode Island this fall, I plan to work in labs conducting clinical research projects. I am excited to tutor students in biology, critique essays for grammar and organization, and provide constructive feedback for any visual art or creative writing pieces.

Wen

Conversational Mandarin Tutor • +6 Subjects

I was born in Sichuan, China and moved to U.S when I was 18. I finished my undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa in double majors of Communication Studies and Japanese. Currently, I am a graduate student in the department of Communication Management in USC. I am specialized in tutoring Mandarin Chinese not only I am a native speaker, also I have four years experience of learning Japanese and one year of speaking basic Korean. I also had tutoring experience in my undergraduate as a hired language tutor.My goal is to create a comfortable studying zone for my students. Depending on every individual need, my teaching technique will also be different. For students who only want to pass the language exam, I will try to meet with them before their exam in order to strengthen their memory. For students who are highly interested in Chinese culture, I will give them some background of Chinese history and culture so as to expand their interests.In my spare time, I like to go yoga class, watch movie, shopping, cooking, and read books. My tutoring schedule is very flexible. I look forward to working with you.

Liam

AP Japanese Language and Culture Tutor • +7 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in international studies, focusing on global health and Japanese language. In the past I have taught kids ages 4-17 Karate, including kids with disabilities and kids from a special program called Kids Kicking Cancer. In my Junior year of college I lived in Tokyo for a year going to Waseda University, and even held a job teaching karate to Japanese students there as well. While I tutor several subjects, including math and english, I am most passionate about tutoring in Japanese. My language journey in Japanese was really rewarding and having achieved fluency in just about 3 years, I have many tips on how best to learn and retain Japanese. I'll give you supplemental resources outside of your classes or personals studies like pop culture, ways you can speak to real native speakers, and fun challenges to make your learning experience fun and memorable. Outside of tutoring, I like to play sports (rugby, basketball) and play the piano :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Discrete geometry focuses on geometric objects with distinct, separate points rather than continuous curves or surfaces. While traditional geometry emphasizes properties of shapes like circles and triangles, discrete geometry explores finite point sets, polyhedra, combinatorial arrangements, and computational problems. This shift requires students to move from visual intuition to logical reasoning and proof-based thinking—a transition that many students find challenging.

Tutors help students bridge this gap by breaking down abstract concepts into concrete examples and showing how to construct rigorous arguments, making the transition from procedural geometry to conceptual discrete mathematics much smoother.

Proofs require a fundamentally different mindset than the computational problems in algebra or traditional geometry. You need to think about "why" something is true, not just "how" to calculate it. Many students haven't practiced logical reasoning or organizing arguments systematically, so proofs feel abstract and disconnected from familiar problem-solving strategies.

Expert tutors help you develop a proof toolkit by starting with small, manageable arguments, showing you common proof techniques (contradiction, induction, direct proof), and helping you recognize patterns in how theorems connect. With guided practice, proofs become a skill you can build rather than a mysterious black box.

Discrete geometry is built on recognizing relationships—how points arrange in space, how combinatorial structures repeat, how different theorems support each other. Many students work through problems individually without connecting the bigger picture, which makes concepts feel random and harder to remember.

Tutors connect new ideas to what you already know, ask guiding questions that help you notice patterns, and show how seemingly different topics use the same underlying principles. This conceptual approach builds real understanding rather than memorization, so you can tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence.

The best discrete geometry tutors combine strong mathematical knowledge with patience and clear communication. You want someone who can explain abstract concepts without getting lost in notation, ask questions that push your thinking forward, and help you develop problem-solving strategies rather than just showing you the answer.

Look for tutors who take time to understand where you're struggling specifically—whether it's translating word problems into formal statements, organizing multi-step proofs, or seeing geometric intuition behind abstract definitions. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in discrete geometry and excel at building both competence and confidence.

The timeline depends on your starting point and the specific topics, but most students need consistent practice over several weeks to move from struggling with basic concepts to applying them confidently. Early topics like combinatorics and basic graph theory often click faster, while more abstract areas like polyhedra or advanced proofs may take longer.

Regular personalized tutoring accelerates this process by addressing gaps quickly, preventing misconceptions from building up, and giving you immediate feedback on your reasoning. Many students report feeling noticeably more confident after 4-6 weeks of weekly sessions, especially when they focus on understanding patterns rather than memorizing formulas.

In discrete geometry, "showing work" means making your logical reasoning visible—defining variables, stating assumptions, explaining each step of your argument, and connecting conclusions back to definitions or theorems. This is different from algebra, where showing work often means writing out calculations. Teachers and tutors need to see your thinking process, not just your final answer.

Tutors help you develop clear communication habits by modeling how to organize multi-step solutions, asking you to explain your reasoning aloud, and giving feedback on how effectively your written work communicates your ideas. Strong mathematical writing is a skill that takes practice, but it's essential for success in discrete geometry and higher mathematics.

With personalized tutoring, you can expect to move from confusion about core concepts to applying them in unfamiliar contexts, from struggling to write proofs to constructing valid arguments independently, and from feeling anxious about the subject to building genuine confidence. Many students see their grade improve by a full letter or more, but the bigger win is feeling like the material actually makes sense.

Research on one-on-one instruction shows that personalized learning dramatically improves both understanding and retention. You'll develop problem-solving strategies that transfer beyond discrete geometry, learn to think mathematically rather than mechanically, and build the foundation needed for higher-level math courses.
