What we actually do
Geometry is the course where students who coasted on procedure hit a wall, because proof cannot be done by pattern-matching. It is also the course where students who struggled with algebra often suddenly do well, because it is visual and spatial. Which student yours is changes the entire approach.

Start with the foundation
Ellis Abel AI sits on top of the Ellis Abel Learns books, not beside them. The books teach the three habits every math learner runs on — owning a mistake, staying calm inside frustration, and trying while afraid. The tutor teaches the math. Your child gets both, and you get a dashboard that tells you which one is actually the problem this week.

Next step
Start with the diagnostic. It takes about twelve minutes and tells you the earliest skill your child has not locked in — which is almost never the one their current homework is on.
Questions Ann Arbor parents ask
- Do you cover proofs?
- Yes - two-column, paragraph and coordinate proofs, taught as argument rather than as a form to fill in.
- My child is good at algebra but lost in geometry.
- Common. It usually means spatial reasoning was never explicitly taught, which is trainable.
- Is trigonometry included?
- Right-triangle trigonometry, yes. Full trig is beyond the current scope.
