New York State · Common Core Regents
Geometry Regents.
Premium Geometry Regents preparation centered on proof, coordinate work, and right-triangle trigonometry.
Geometry is the second mathematics Regents on the path to the Advanced Diploma. Strong proof and coordinate work here transfers directly to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and AP Calculus.

Vinai Sharma's Teaching Process
A six-step path from diagnostic to test day, used with every Geometry Regents student.
- Step 01
Initial Diagnostic Assessment
A full-length diagnostic establishes the student's true starting point across every tested area.
- Step 02
Identify Strengths & Weaknesses
Results are mapped to specific subtopics — not just section scores — so the plan targets the right work.
- Step 03
Build Conceptual Foundations
Underlying content is rebuilt where needed so test strategies have something solid to stand on.
- Step 04
Practice Official-Style Questions
Curated, exam-aligned problems are worked through together on the digital whiteboard.
- Step 05
Learn Time-Saving Strategies
Pacing, elimination, and figure-reading techniques tuned to this exam's format.
- Step 06
Build Confidence Through Full-Length Practice Tests
Regular timed practice tests turn preparation into performance — and reveal exactly what to refine next.
