[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Can you get an older child to study with them?[/b] A high schooler who has already studied Alg I/II and Geometry?

My daughter has helped some friends study before and has also been helped by other friends in the past as well.

It seems kids do well when they help each other during those after class study group or whatever it is called. Sometimes they have also used video chat to study and help each other.

Just a suggestion since you said private tutoring is out of the budget.

A high schooler who is capable of tutoring math usually has lots of other academic commitments and would not have the time or desire to take on an unpaid/low paid tutoring position, except for a really good friend or close relative. My DD would rather study for her own classes than help some rando dumb kid for free. She's probably do it for her best friend.[/quote]

My 9th grader, who helps out her friends every week because she's in Honors Precalc and they're in Algebra 2, would only take a paid tutoring job if it was interesting money ($50/hr min) and the kid wasn't too dumb or difficult. She's got other fish to fry, as PP said.
When her older brother had difficulties in math, I paid a Prep Matters tutor enormous sums of money to get him up to speed in AP Calc. Some in-demand tutors are paid more than $400/hr in this area. You can also get a cheap online tutor living in a low-cost-of-living state at $30/hr...
