McGill MATH 133 tutoring
Linear Algebra and Geometry — one-to-one online tutoring to understand difficult concepts, practise problems and prepare for midterms and finals.
Listed course
Course overview
McGill MATH 133 connects systems and matrices with three-dimensional geometry, vector spaces, transformations, eigenvalues, and diagonalization. The course combines calculations with increasingly abstract definitions.
MATH 133 topics we can help with
Systems and matricesInverses and determinantsVectors in three dimensionsVector spaces and basesLinear transformationsEigenvalues and diagonalization
Common difficulties
- Relating pivots and free variables to a solution set
- Connecting three-dimensional geometry with matrix calculations
What this course builds on
Use equations, fractions and coordinates fluently. Explain what a simultaneous solution means before using a matrix algorithm.

Solve x + y = 7 and 2x − y = 2.
Show the reasoning
Adding gives 3x = 9, so x = 3 and y = 4. Check both original equations.

How tutoring can help
Move between a system, its augmented matrix and its geometric interpretation. Use contrast examples to distinguish inconsistency from a free variable.
Exam preparation for MATH 133: midterms and finals
After each row reduction, write one sentence explaining the result. Mix calculations, geometry and definitions, and check proposed solutions by substitution.
Use your section’s outline to choose the chapters to review. We work through permitted practice and comparable problems, without completing graded assignments or exams on your behalf.
