[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 kids worked there. They both got 750+ on their math SATs. Probably they could've made more money per hour elsewhere, but it's close to our house and was steady work when they wanted it. I suspect that listing their jobs on their college apps helped them both get into their top choices.[/quote]
