[quote=Anonymous]Yup. Hire a tutor. Your child is not the first for whom precalc revealed problems. You talk to the tutor about what needs to be done and be sure to hire someone who can handle all the old stuff. The problems are most likely weak algebra skills. Then, you have patience. The tutor will not be able to make miracles overnight. You also need buy in from the kid. When this happened to us, my son chose to use us as a resource instead of a tutor, and so we tutored him, went over every stitch of homework etc. We both have the skills, although maybe you don't. We finally hired a pro when the parenting relationship was interfering with learning. We also required that he finish all review material two days before the exam so the rest of the time was for studying not learning.[/quote]
