"I just can't say enough good things about it. While It would have been enough to just pass the TEAS test, she aced it. I appreciate the help. Riva did so well. She completed the test in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Riva is so excited, she is so happy. We called the tutor and told her thanks and in the future, I will gladly use you. "
"We loved our former experience with our tutor for our high schooler so much that we wanted to get tutoring for our elementary schooler. She was so patient and kind and was able to reach him in a way that we just couldn't. We saw how great of a positive impact it was for our older son that when our elementary schooler started to need some support, we knew exactly who to call. "
"Everything is going great! My kiddo is making steady progress in math each week!"

Middle schools in the Brooklyn public school system choose between three math curricula that support the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards. Each of these curricula focuses on rational numbers, geometry concepts, statistics, and probability.
While some 8th grade students can take Geometry in middle school, most students spend their middle school years building up their foundational skills, such as area, volume, angle relationships, and lines.
New York State requires high school students to earn 6 math credits, including Geometry, and pass one math Regents exam with a score of 65 or higher to graduate. To receive an Advanced Regents diploma, they need to pass Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry Regents exams.
Students who attend local higher education institutions, such as CUNY Brooklyn College or New York City College of Technology, can focus on Geometry while majoring in either mathematics or getting a teacher certification.
The New York State Math Test assesses Brooklyn public school students in grades 3 through 8, and geometry concepts show up in each grade’s test. In 2025, based on a combined score across grades, 57% met or exceeded the state standards in math.
The results of the Regents Geometry exam, often taken in 9th or 10th grade, vary from school to school. In some specialized STEM-focused high schools, almost 100% students passed with proficiency, while other neighborhood schools have a 25-50% proficiency rate.
Geometry appears in about 10-15% of the math portion of the SAT. While many colleges have begun adopting an SAT-optional policy, many Brooklyn students continue to take the standardized test.
The SAT is required for some scholarships and can be an important part of the application process for local schools like NYU.
Just like the SAT, the ACT has become optional at many colleges, but they remain useful for students applying for scholarships or who need a boost in the admissions process.
The geometry section of the ACT makes up around 17-20% of the exam and covers mostly Plane Geometry and Coordinate Geometry.
Brooklyn students who want to pursue a career involving geometry, such as architecture, civil and structural engineering, or surveying and mapping, often major in math.
Medgar Evers College and St. Joseph’s College offer a BA or BS in Mathematics. Others, such as Brooklyn College, have a wider range of options, including Actuarial Mathematics and Pure & Applied Mathematics.
Introduction to Topology, Foundations of Geometry, and Differential Geometry are common geometry classes in college.
Brooklyn students can attend engaging STEM-focused classes and camps, such as those offered at Launch Math and Science Center. Snapology, an educational enrichment program, uses LEGO® bricks and K’Nex® to help kids explore shapes, geometry, and engineering.
The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath), just over the bridge in Manhattan, has hands-on STEM-focused exhibits. In addition, they host an early math festival and provide after-school math programs.
A geometry tutor specializes in congruence, similarity, right angles, circles, and trigonometry. They often support your student in mathematical concepts, such as using equations to express geometric properties and geometric measurement and dimension.
Many Brooklyn tutors are experienced in the New York State Next Generation Mathematical Standards. They understand how the introduction to basic geometry in elementary and middle school leads to a more in-depth learning experience in high school.
You may see obvious signs at home that your student needs a geometry tutor, such as frustration every time they pull out their homework, or more subtle ones, like only writing down answers to homework problems without showing the work they did to get there.
Many geometry tutors can support the gamut: from foundational geometry concepts taught in elementary and middle school, such as understanding the defining attributes of shapes, all the way up to the complex concepts taught in a college-level Euclidean Geometry course.
Tutors who work in Brooklyn are often familiar with how the progression of concepts in the New York State Education Department’s (NYSED) Geometry program moves from foundational concepts, such as spatial recognition, to geometric proofs.
When you’re ready to find a tutor for your student, contact Grade Potential. Once we understand your student’s unique needs, we can connect you with an independent tutor from our network. You then choose the tutoring schedule and the meeting location.
Tutors often set their fees based on specific experience and expertise, coupled with your student’s grade level and the sessions format (online or in person). Typically, tutoring in Brooklyn ranges from $30 to $90 per hour.
For example, a tutor supporting an elementary school student’s goal of mastering spatial measurements may charge less than if they were working with a senior enrolled in the STEM-focused Brooklyn Technical High School.
Yes. Supporting homework is one way a tutor can help your student meet their goals.
Daily assignments often require students to use visual modeling and explain the reasoning behind their answers, which allows a tutor to understand the best way to offer support. This support is carried into test and quiz preparation, too.
Yes, tutoring can be beneficial when preparing for standardized tests. In Brooklyn, many high school students take the SAT or ACT, as well as a Regents exam in Geometry. A tutor can provide support by sharing a study plan for any or all of those exams.
Giving practice tests is another way to see what a student understands and what needs more focus. Once a tutor has those results, they can put together a unique test preparation plan for your student.
NYSED middle school students learn key Geometry concepts in grades 6-8, such as finding the area of polygons and applying the Pythagorean Theorem. These concepts set the stage for taking Geometry in high school. Tutors support this foundational learning.
In addition, Brooklyn middle school students have the opportunity to apply to one of the nine specialized high schools in the NYSED system. Some of these are STEM-focused, such as The Brooklyn Latin School. If your student chooses to apply, they need to take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). A tutor can help with test preparation.
High school students typically take Geometry in 9th or 10th grade, integrating more complex concepts into the math foundation they already have, such as proving geometric theorems and defining trigonometric ratios.
A tutor can support your student as they build their knowledge base. Providing extra time and focus on new concepts can help build a student’s confidence and relieve anxiety.
Stepping into a college course can feel a bit overwhelming. They tend to be larger than most high school classes and move at a faster pace. A college student taking Plane Geometry or Advanced Geometry may benefit from working with a tutor.
Feeling the connection of a one-on-one relationship as they navigate challenging geometry concepts, such as deductive proofs and topology, gives your student the chance to reach their full potential.
One of the best ways to prepare for the Regents exam in geometry is by taking practice exams. Another is to focus on studying the concepts that appear the most frequently on the exam: congruence, similarity, right triangles, and trigonometry. A tutor can support both of these preparation methods and more.
