[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH. I’m an engineer, so I’ve been the kids’ tutor as needed. I’m comfortable through AP Calc, certainly AP Physics.

My oldest is a paid tutor in MS math for neighbors. [/quote]

Hmm.  You sound very smug, but I can assure you many people gifted in math are not capable of tutoring.

I struggle tutoring my kids because math is so intuitive for me.  I don’t know how I do it, I just know the answer.  I look at a calc problem, visualize the math in my head and know what the answer is.  I can’t explain to my kid how to do multiplication tables.  [/quote]
PP did not sound smug. I think you didn’t like their response because their arrangement did not work for you.

We hired a Latin tutor for our son when he was in 8th grade and failing the class. He eeked out a C and wanted to stay with Latin in high school even though we encouraged him to switch languages. Wouldn’t you know it - he ended his freshman year with an A and has all A’s this year, both without a tutor, so now we just think his 8th grade teacher was horrible.
