If they didn’t make us take math in school, would we still need tutors? The answer is yes and yes. Of course! Even if you don’t struggle with English, science, or languages, most students encounter some type of math though their course of studies that quite simply baffles them.
For most people math starts to get tricky after pre-algebra. Something about solving for an unknown variable just seems to be an abstract concept when you’ve been doing arithmetic and word problems from grade school until about 6th or 7th grade.
Don’t feel bad because you’re not alone. Many students in middle school or high school have problems with math. Most adults still have problems with algebra or anything beyond, for example, geometry, trigonometry, or calculus and need private tutoring.
We’ve had people call us who are in their 50s needing to take a test that requires basic algebra and they just don’t remember because they haven’t used it since they were in middle school or high school.
