[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How dumb do you have to be as parents that you can not tutor your own kid in math?  $50-80/hr to teach a 7-8yr old?  Wow! [/quote]

As a teacher and tutor with a master's, I resent this. You should not assume you know how to teach a student who is not grasping the subject. Also, some kids are so resistant to their parents helping them.
P.s. I charge $65 for tutoring, more if I go to the students home. [/quote]

Of course you resent it.  You charge $65+[b] for parents who can't help their 7yr olds with basic math skills. [/b] Kudos[/quote]

New poster. OK, I admit it - I can't help my 2nd grader with math.  I am trying to explain to her, but she doesn't seem to get it. We are considering a tutor.  And before you accuse me of being dumb, I got no less than an A- in my multivariable calculus and differential equations classes in college (Ivy League), and have a MS in financial engineering.  "If you can't explain it, you don't get it" was never true for me, I was always struggling to expain to others even if it made complete sense to me.  I guess I couldn't be a teacher.[/quote]
