Tips for tutoring High School Math – In high school students go from learning times tables to playing around with Algebra, Geometry, Pre-calculus and even Calculus. One of the first things you’ll want to do is figure out what your students need help with the most, then move to working on current problems and homework. Students will also start to think about working on skills for their ACT and SAT tests. Below are hopefully some useful links to help make your life easier.
