[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] This is exactly what Mathnasium purports to do. You pay for an initial eval, which shows what the student knows and doesn't know (i.e., iany holes in the student's math education), and then a curriculum is proposed based on the results. Students are encouraged to go twice per week. No personal experience with the program, btw, but I know many people who send their kids to Mathnasium and are happy with it. [/quote]
