I have been working as a private academic tutor for more than a decade now. I have met many parents with different parenting skills but all with the same desire to be able to provide well for their children and to Raise Them well. Though they do want to be their children’s tutor, some of them are unable to properly aid them with their homework and so resort to sending their children to tutors like me.

More often than not, Mathematics is the subject that students have the hardest time dealing with. Some even dread just hearing the words math, algebra, or trigonometry. I have also been asked so many times why they needed to study the pythagorean theorem, the different conjectures in geometry and trigonometric identities when they are utterly useless (so they believe) in real life.

In all the years I have tutored grade school and high school students, I have tried to come up with different ways to teach mathematical concepts making them more “real” to the students and more interesting as well. I always try to make learning maths easier, whether that be by using real-life scenarios to help them, using physical objects, or even just sitting down with the struggling student and using online sources to try and help their understanding. With advances in technology, online math sites have made things easier for me with their graphics and other tools. Nowadays, it is easier to find help online as there are plenty of algebra software that can explain even the most complex math problems.

Recently, I have been given a chance to try out a software for solving math problems, the Algebrator software. Now, unlike other software that just provides you with an answer to your problem, this software gives you step-by-step solution ensuring that you know exactly how the answer was derived. Designed with students in mind, the Algebrator is fairly easy to use and covers a wide range of topics from basic operations and pre-algebra to trigonometry and statistics.

You may also choose how detailed the solution you want to appear. Moreover, there is a detailed explanation for each step in the solution making sure that you do understand how the problem was solved.

If you are still having problems with a certain equation or are still unable to understand the explanation, you may opt for live math help which is just a click away on the toolbar. This software would greatly benefit those who are home schooling their grade school or high school children and also be a good alternative for private tutorials for those who go to regular school.
