How do I get help with algebra?

Answer by  Clement (1453)

A real tutor can provide a more specific help than a book targeting general audience. A tutor can provide you with additional explanation of extra examples and exercises while the amount of explanation, exercises and examples in a printed book is usually restricted due to the limited number of book pages.

A real tutor is better than a book. A book, although it contains information desired, cannot interact with a person and respond to their progress. A tutor can work with a student and develop a rapport with them in order to be more effective and efficient with the students time as well as react and interact with the student.

Yes, a tutor is definetly the best way to go. If you don't understand something in a book, then chances are you never will. But a tutor can always explain things in different ways. And if you can't find a good tutor, then just ask a teacher for help.

I would choose the tutor a book is boring and hard to read from. A tutor is interactive and can help you when you get stuck. They can also answer questions.
