As most of you know my son is homeschooled. Some people think that makes us crazy, other think we should get trophies for it. Most days…I go along with the thoughts that we are crazy. Ok, not really…it’s only the math part that makes me feel that way.

We have tried MANY math curriculum’s and I wish we could say that we had found the perfect one. But heck…lets be honest. It’s Math. There is no perfect one. I did find the perfect tutor though. And he is FREE!!!

I actually kinda like math, but found out I am not the best teacher of math. I don’t know why it works a certain way…it just does. And that frustrates Tate. He wants to know the how and why.Me, I really don’t care why or want to spend hours analyzing it. I just want the answer and I can’t always explain how I know that is the answer, I just know that it is.

Then I found the Khan Academy. Sal (I am calling him by his first name because he is now my best friend…even if he doesn’t know it), started doing videos to help tutor his niece. That is how the Khan Academy started. He has done so many tutorials on so many different subjects (not only Math) that there is something to help just about everyone…even in Calculus. And he has made them all available for anyone to use…free of charge. He is seriously my hero.

I also love the finance section!! That is next on out list. I am going to have Erin go through that section as well since she will soon be getting married and be out on her own.

If you homeschool or are in a math class yourself you should seriously check out the Khan Academy. Best thing since sliced bread!!

It is more important now than ever before to get a good education and grades play the biggest factor in determining your chances of getting into a good college or getting a good job. Erin secured a job this summer because of how hard she worked during the school year at college, keeping her grades up and being determined to be the best that she can be. Part of the application process for her job was to send in a copy of her college transcripts and that was a big factor in who they chose for the positions that they had available. We thought that she was going to need some Online Tutor help for one of her classes, but in the end she pulled it off.  Did you know that you can get Free Online Tutoring? You can! So if you or one of your children needs a little help in one of their classes you should definitely look into it.

This year I know that I am going to have to get some Math help for Tate. He is at that age where it just keeps getting harder and harder…and Algebra is the worst for me. A Math Tutor may be the way for us to go. He has expressed an interest in going back to public schools but I am just not ready to take that step. Homeschooling vs. Public Schooling is a very controversial topic and is a very personal decision for every family, the reason we made that decision is very different from others and the reason it works for us is also very different. But this year, we are going to have to have some help like a Math Problem Solver.

I have talked to many other families that homeschool and many of them have stated that they use some sort of Online Math Tutor. Apparently it is the subject that most people need help with. If you are looking for a tutor service for yourself or your child you will want to choose a tutor service that provides high-quality one-on-one service. One that supplements education for all grade levels,  from K-12 to college students, that way you have your bases covered for years to come. You also want it to be affordable and available for when you or your child NEEDS it, not during a pre-scheduled time that may not be convenient for you.  Choosing Math Tutors Online is becoming a much more common practice these days. The curriculum for students is getting harder and more complex and if you are anything like me…most of it you have never even seen before, much less able to provide help with.
