[quote=Anonymous]You can hire an online tutor for $25-$ 35 an hour who can tutor Algebra. Companies like Wyzant have tutors in low cost of living areas so they don't charge much. Sometimes you have to try a few to get a really good one.

I found one that was a retired middle school math teacher who worked with my son four times a week for the first month. He went over the lesson he learned in class and had him do his homework. My son would have to talk out the steps he was taking and if he was doing it wrong the tutor would help get him back on the right track. It was a couple of years ago but since I committed to a long term lessons he charged $25 an hour so I spent a little more than $400 that month (there are some extra fees to Wyzant). Once my son was on the right track we went down to 2-3 times a week. You have to make sure the tutor isn't telling your student the answer and is actually making your student do the work.

So many tutors are available for Algebra 1 and 2. I paid more for harder subjects like honors chemistry. [/quote]
