[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did well in college calculus, but I'm far too rusty to be much help, and don't want to be a step-parent/tutor. No way.

What I don't get is how does a tutor identify holes from old material? I've never seen a tutor try to deep dive and seek out holes, they typically just try to help you get through current material. Wouldn't that first require a comprehensive math test, e.g. print off an old ACT math test?[/quote]

They are professionals. You hire someone to investigate and reteach those things.  You don't hire some $45 per hour college kid to go over the review packet.  Don't even touch the ACT material. If you want ACT tutoring hire the right pro for that.

Try Wyzant and talk to a few potential tutors on line.  Your child is not the first to be in this situation.  You can also go on Amazon and buy a used Algebra II book, which will have all the material.

Where do you find and what is a professional math tutor? I've only ever used college kids (for math, engineering students are always a solid bet) or young teachers trying to make extra cash.[/quote]
