About This Topic

Trigonometry, contrary to popular belief, is more than just SohCahToa. Here, you’ll explore the relationship between the lengths and angles of triangles, but moreover, you'll practice expressing that relationship as an equation and a function. If you design a top-down space adventure game like Asteroids or Galaga, trigonometric functions can even be used to create complex curving movement paths. It might seem counterintuitive that so much time and effort be spent on such a basic set of relationships, but this is typically your first exposure to infinite loops and curves in a function that sets the groundwork for more advanced math (heard of calculus?).

You'll learn to:

Learn to apply the law of sines and cosines
Understand relationships between lengths and angles of triangles
Explore vector applications and operations

“My time as an iD instructor was really formative. I stayed with STEM in college as a Computer Science and Electrical Engineering major, and now I’m working at Google in Chicago. If you find yourself thinking about STEM-related things outside of school, follow that passion. Major in it. Keep pursuing it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How will trigonometry tutoring benefit my child?

This high school staple will be important to kids’ success in Algebra II and beyond. Plus, with a strong foundation in trigonometry, your child will be able to appreciate real-world applications of math, science, and other STEM concepts. And with personalized support, they’ll be able to tackle high-level math with confidence. Read more about the benefits of tutoring.

Why private math lessons?

Private lessons, the antidote to one-size-fits-all math, are now needed more than ever. With challenges surrounding the elementary through high school experience - regarding in-person vs. online learning, the way subject matter is communicated and worked on, and more - more parents could be seeking alternative and additional learning opportunities.

What is virtual tutoring?

Virtual tutoring brings the traditional tutoring model, an expert working 1-on-1 with a student, and brings it into the 21st century online! With more convenience, more time spent learning (and less juggling busy schedules), virtual tutoring brings the same level of customized support straight to you. Beyond that, a virtual session might offer increased engagement and personalization with fewer distractions when compared to the in-person tutoring experience.

What is the Online Private Lesson experience like?

Our Online Private Lessons offer live, 1-on-1 learning with an experienced, USA-based instructor and curriculum tailored to your child's interests and skill level! Once you select a topic and purchase a lesson package, you can easily choose your instructor and schedule a 60-minute lesson for the date and time that works best for you.

Once scheduled, you can share notes about your child and any specific goals they might have. When it's time for their lesson, your child will connect with their instructor via Zoom. You will receive a post-session progress report via email so you can track your child's success!

What are the technical requirements for this lesson?

Each child will need a Windows or Mac computer with audio and video capabilities. We do not recommend tablets or Chromebooks, as the multi-tasking ability between Zoom and other required software is often unreliable or nonexistent.
