I am in desperate need of tutoring for college algebra. I am in a very precarious situation. My job was recently elimininated, and I have decided to return to college to pursue a degree in the healthcare field. I have a BS degree in business received in 1983. My delimma is that I goofed off back then and received a D in algebra. Because of my immaturity and being "afraid" of math, I let this D sit on my transcript all this time. Never in a kazillion years did I think I would need this class again. Lo and behold, here I am 30 years later, and I need the class because, of course, a D won't transfer. I need a private tutor to get me up to speed on basic algebra because in college algebra, you are supposed to already know the basics .. and I know none. I don't have the time to go back and take the remedial courses to get me up to speed because I have to apply to the medical program in December. HELP!!!!!

What can I do next?

My father was a college math teacher for 35 years and is now retired and tutors math. Both my husband and I had him for College Algebra way back when and he is an excellent teacher! He is extremely patient and able to make difficult concepts easy to understand. You can learn more about him at www.northtexastutors.com.

You might take a look at this site:

http://www.algebrahelp.com/

It's helpful in explaining the concepts. I was a math major for 3 years, but I really don't have the time right now for tutoring. This is the site I sent to my nephew when I couldn't explain it over the phone.

GL!
