Yesterday I re-watched a Dr. Phil episode that featured homeschooling. In it he said that beginning in 7th grade, his kids would come home and ask for their help in math and he would tell them that he couldn't help them... he didn't know how to do the work. Well, clearly, I am smarter than Dr. Phil as I could help my kids up through Algebra... I blanked out somewhere during Geometry, but there were still days in the middle school years, where I did have moments of confusion. It is as these points that solicited the help of a tutor to help my kids with math.
In my case, I hired a tutor to come in once a week to help my kids work through any problems they had. She also helped my relearn a few things and that helped me to relearn algebra ahead of my kids. Having a tutor come to my home weekly was a little costly, but I only needed to do it for one year. With the help of online math tutoring, however, you can save a bit on the cost, and get a ton more convenience of getting help exactly when you need it and not have to wait until the next Tuesday.
Tutornext.com.com is one such website you can use for your online tutoring needs. They have a couple of ways that they can help you.
First, they can answer you questions. For example, when my son was studying for the SAT, there was one particular type of question that while he could answer it, he could not answer it quickly. In this case he could submit a sample of his math problems to the website and in 48 hours he would not only get the math answers back, but they would explain the process for answering the question, all for a reasonable fee.
If your student can't want 48 hours to get an answer and instead need immediate help at 11:00 at night, no problem. They can connect to a tutor at any hour, any day of the week online.
