Geometry

Geometry is at the heart of our teaching philosophy. Spatial reasoning develops the visual intuition that makes every branch of mathematics more accessible. We teach geometry deeply — not as a collection of formulas, but as a system of logical relationships.

Circle theorems and classical constructions

Students explore the full breadth of classical Euclidean geometry — circle theorems, cyclic quadrilaterals, angle-in-semicircle, and the elegant constructions that have appeared in competitions for centuries.

What we cover

  • Circle theorems and tangents
  • Cyclic quadrilaterals
  • Loci and constructions
  • Trigonometry: sine, cosine, tangent rules
  • Coordinate geometry and conic sections

Competitions & exams we prepare for in United Kingdom

  • Intermediate Mathematical Challenge (geometry)
  • Cayley / Hamilton / Maclaurin Olympiads
  • Grey / Pink Kangaroo

These form the foundation of geometry and are commonly seen in classroom exercises and exams, including the GCSE Mathematics syllabus.But what happens when we encounter problems that don’t follow these standard patterns directly? Can we still prove triangle congruence using medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, or partial side information?In this section, we explore a selection of challenging triangle congruence problems that require deeper reasoning and clever constructions. These problems go beyond the textbook basics and are perfect for students preparing for Olympiad-style questions, GCSE extensions, or anyone wanting to sharpen their proof skills.View on ProblemsCircumcircle of a TrianglePractice problems on circumcircles of triangles: centers, angles, chords, and construction.
