[quote=Anonymous]Talk to the tutor and see how they think she’s doing and whether she’s capable of bringing up her grade. I know it’s scary — my otherwise A student was carrying an F at one point in math in his Sophomore year, and he worked very hard the rest of the semester and brought it up to a B-. There were a couple of tests early on in which he didn’t understand the concepts, but he got there in the end. Try to limit the freaking out and work the problem with the tutor — math is one of those things that you can develop a mental block about if you get too much pressure (ask me how I know). Ignore those who say your kid isn’t destined for top colleges. There are a lot of very smart kids for whom math doesn’t come easily. My DC is not a natural at math, and got a 34 on the ACT with a small amount of tutoring on the math portion and got into a list of excellent colleges. [/quote]
