I don’t know about now, but when my kid was at TJ, all the kids who had prepped to get in needed extra tutoring just to keep up. They never had time for sports or extracurriculars because they needed tutoring after school.

Man, your story sucks.

You might want to consider a different school. This is going to be a long three more years if you need such tutoring.

2nd Wyzant. Lots of options, immediately available.

Prep Matters - HQ in Bethesda, but they do online classes and have other tutoring centers in the area. They're excellent. Also very expensive.

From what we were told, math starts in third quarter in Feb for freshman

For Freshman, math starts in second semester, that would be starting towards end of January.

TJ freshman math is either Geometry or Algebra 2, which likely is standard math taught everywhere? is it not?

DC is in urgent need of tutor for next three weeks that can help with TJ 9th grade freshman math homework and the upcoming year end final. Tried using a couple of tutors, but they dont seem to be knowing TJ math, which DC says is different. There is 8th period access to teacher, but DC needs someone who can sit with them and explain the concepts not just answer specific problem related question at a time. Any local tutor references in Alexandria area or in driving distance nearby would help.
