melmichigan Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think DD would continue to love outside input in math. How would I even begin to look for a math tutor, locally or online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Around here, most of the high schools keep lists of teachers who are available for tutoring. There are also plenty of companies that employ tutors in all different subjects. And there's always Craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changed Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I joined a local co op's yahoo group. I'm not a member of the co op, just the group, but there are tons of members and we all post needs/for sale items/etc. It's been a fabulous network of people. And it's how I found my dd's math tutor.

Dana Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 You could also call the math department at a local community college or university. They'll often have a list of tutors. Or... there may be a tutoring center on campus that would have the list of people willing to tutor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quark Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think DD would continue to love outside input in math. How would I even begin to look for a math tutor, locally or online? How about contacting the AoPS folks? They should be quite well plugged into the math tutoring networks. My son has been working with a tutor who gets "out-of-the-box" kids. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Ask your friends (those who homeschool and those who have publicly schooled children). My husband is a tutor and most of his new students come through word of mouth recommendations. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbeltmom Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Do you have a math circle in your area? If so, maybe you could find a tutor through them. I would think that the leaders of a math circle would be very familiar with AoPS and a good fit for your dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 You could call the local high school and ask if there are any students who would be interested in tutoring for community service hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
