Do I need to know geometry to do the lessons?

I failed math in high school. I am in my sixties starting these lessons. I notice there is some geometry included here. I'm a little worried.

Everything you need to know is covered in the lessons. Do not worry, just follow the instructions.
Thank you for letting me know!
Nope, no math related geometry, don't worry ;).
Oh thank you for letting me know!
no
Thank you!
Nope, no need to learn geometry :)
Thanks for letting me know!
It's OK to read the exercises carefully again. All the best!
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
