College Tutors - how to go about finding one.

[Juddog]

My fiance is having a hard time with her math homework. She's a senior; it's her last semester for her bachelor's, but she's having the worst time at math. I helped her for 4 hours last night and she still seems stuck on the same two problems.

Does anybody know any good tutoring resources? Online, ways to find one locally, programs, etc., anything would help. This is for college level math, e.g. calculus etc.

Does she have a Math homework lab at her school? Craigslist?

Math professor referral?

Tell her to ask her professor for help during his/her office hours (it's part of their job to help, and they get paid to have office hours), or see if her school has a tutoring program (almost all do). In house tutoring makes the most sense, especially if it's from her professor.

This site is good for introductory calculus, and this book is awesome for both Calc semester 1 and 2. I highly recommend that book (using in right now), even for non-idiots

Odds are your university pays a legion of mostly useless advisors 40K a year to sit around and help people with this exact issue. Just go down to their office -- they probably have a bunch of tutor schedules and brochures that you can take.

The engineering honor's program may have study help available. Could check on this through the office for the college of engineering. By extension, check with the administrative office for the math college also. Additionally, there has got to be a math lab somewhere.

Take care of this issue quickly.

Every time I've been to our academic resource center there are constantly tutors sitting around with thumbs up their asses waiting for stuff to do. I'd suggest there.
