[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this post has to go to VA schools or to teens section.

Basically, my DS is in high school and has biology paper for the first time. Not sure how much of it is taught in class. Ad per DS, not much was taught. There are some online notes posted by teacher and also some chapters to be read. There is an upcoming quiz next week. DS could not comprehend most of the text book material. Teacher's notes are also at a high level.

When the concern was raised by DS, I sat and when through the whole material along with DS.
I am not a Biology major myself. So it took me a lot of research to understand most of the stuff and then explain to DS.
The whole process took about 6 to 7 hours of Saturday. Still there are some concepts we both did not understand and now will have to go back to teacher for help.
Not sure if DS will have time to get these doubts clarified before the quiz next week.

I understand that the tutor will already be a Biology expert and might wrap up teaching the whole thing in couple of hours.
But looking at the cost of tutoring ($50  per hour), even 2 hours will end up costing $100.
Also I noticed from earlier tutoring help we got, the tutor could not cover the whole lesson in detail in the given 1 to 2 hours.

I am very exhausted from all that studying. 
How do you all deal with this kind of situation?
