[quote=Anonymous]Algebra is a conceptually new way of thinking and having a great teacher is absolutely crucial. I was lucky I had one, since I'm not really gifted at math, or I would have pulled a D- too. Find her the best tutor you can and sit in on the session so you can see how s/he's explaining things. One thing my awesome teacher did was apply real-life situations (compounding interest, for example) in a way that really crystallized what we were learning. You just can't skate by algebra with a crappy teacher the way you can with arithmetic or geometry. Same goes for calculus - you really need a teacher who can make abstract concepts more concrete.Good luck![/quote]
