Math is a tough subject. It starts with difficult concepts such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication, which can be very challenging for young children. But as time evolves, and the concepts become more difficult, incorporating algebra, geometry, and maybe even calculus, math can become downright impossible to understand.
If one or more of your children are currently taking math classes, you may or may not need a tutor to help them excel in this challenging subject. To help you determine whether it’s right for you, let’s take a look at some signs that they may need help.
Your Child is Working Hard with No Results
One sign that your child may need a tutor is if you notice that he or she is working extremely hard but doesn’t seem to be achieving desired results. For example, suppose your child is participating in class, doing everything the teacher asks, yet is still having problems mastering the concepts and getting the grades you both hope for. In this case, your child may need more individualized time with a certified math tutor who can administer various learning methods coupled with repitition to help your child excel.
Another sign that your child may need math tutoring assistance is if he or she is working hard and is achieving desired results in homework, but not test taking, or vice versa. Usually, if the child is doing well with homework and not test taking then this is a sign of test anxiety. He or she may panic when the time comes to answer questions on the spot, resulting in an inability to focus. On the other hand, the student may do great with tests, but may have problems completing homework assignments. In this case, the student may feel bored by the work and unmotivated to complete assignments. In either case a tutor can help to either increase confidence for tests or come up with fun games to make homework more exciting.
Your Child Isn’t Working Hard
Another way to determine that your child may need math tutoring is looking for signs that he or she is showing a complete lack of motivation and is simply not making an effort in the classroom and/or during homework sessions. As opposed to the previous example where the student is working hard but isn’t mastering the concepts, in this scenario, your child hasn’t tried hard enough to know whether or not he or she is capable of understanding the work.
If you have an unmotivated child, a math tutor can be just as beneficial as in the previous example. However, in addition to finding a tutor who is good at teaching math concepts, you will also want one that has a personality equipped to handle a lack of motivation. The tutor needs to help your child understand the importance of math in the classroom and in life. Also, that tutor should be skilled in ways to make math fun.
It’s no secret that math can be a challenging subject for just about anyone to master. But the sooner you and a tutor can get your child motivated about the subject, the more quickly you will see the results both of you have hoped for.

This is a fucking joke..
I am from missouri also, my kids needed a special nudge in some areas of school, so I went to my local schools and especially high schools and found students that were excelling in those areas and had them "tutor" several days a week, cheaper than most of the Sylvan plans, plus they were also on the same level mind wise.
The student made some money, my kids got the help they needed, and it save a lot of hassle and arguing from me and their dad to keep on their homework and lessons. Good luck!
Good for you that you are taking grade 11 maths. I think minimum wage is a bit low. You can make a special rate for a group of students, that way you can make more out of your hour. You can charge a rate like: 20$ for a single student and take two students for 15$each. That way you make more.
A tutor who is not a 14 year old easily takes 40$ per hour if not more, so don't go that much under.
This is easy I will pass the GED in no time
NICE,
nice..
thanks for this video!
baby i can get our X’s together…just drop by my shack and we will start multiplying those Xs lmao :p
Jessica, I tutored as a teen as well, and here are some tips:
1. Contact ALL the local Elementary and Junior High schools in your area and let them know that you are an experienced tutor with time for additional students (clients).
2. Try to make sure all the current math teachers are aware of your talents (in other words, don't just solicit the front office personnel at the schools, contact the principals and even individual teachers if you can obtain their e-mails or phone numbers).
3. If allowable, post hand bills or "tear-tabs" with your contact information on bulletin boards.
4. If you attend a church, post there, as well.
5. Have your parents spread the word in their workplaces.
6. By all means, "birds of a feather flock together" so your current student may know of others who need turoting, as well.
7. Make an attempt to contact your School District Superintendent's office . . . granted s/he will pass you or your information off to another area, but that gets you a "top down" awareness, as well.
GOOD LUCK JESSICA!
Are you joking, jala? This is FAR from confusing! I bet even fifth graders can do this but they aren’t introduced to this formula at that time. If you tell a fifth grader what to do they can do it easily. No one uses a different method unless they are CRAZY = )

What do you expect with educational policies like "No Child Left Behind" and a teacher's union and school bureaurcracies that cover up for teachers sexually abusing schoolkids? When "creationism" is infecting our schools and children are allowed to drop out or graduate when they can't even read the diplomas? When we spend more time on money on football and cover it on the news–but ignore kids who do well academically or make fun of them for being "geeks" and "nerds?"
This isn't partisan–both parties have dropped the ball big time when it comes to educating America's children. And you are right–America's future is at stake. And we are losing it.
WHY IS SCHOOL ON YOUTUBE? .
Man, this is a tutorial not a lap dance, lol.
