Don't merely treat symptoms, solve the root problem.

Prealgebra is an interesting class. It is the gateway to the broad world of Algebra upon which much of the modern economy is based. I am old enough to know how calculations were done before the advent of hand held calculators, so I like to show students some short-cuts that are no longer taught in school.

10 Prealgebra lessons

He's a great tutor, and is willing to meet me at the location I choose. I'm learning a lot even though I get stuck at times while learning prealgebra. He's very knowledgeable in the area of prealgebra which is what I'm working on for my BA degree. He encourages me when I need it and reminds me of the end result of learning prealgebra. When I receive my BA degree, in my heart I will be thanking my math tutor for helping to get me where I want to be in my career.
