What helped you learn math. ($30)

[Costality]

I'm not good at math, I don't understand the concepts, it's a language I can't speak or read fluently. I practice, everyday, but it just doesn't get in my head. I look over the question, I read it ten times, I do it ten times, yet still the day later i'll have forgotten it all.

if whatever you say actually helps me, and i'll be honest , i'll give you thirty dollars or more because this is basically dependant on where I get in my life as a career.

Sometimes it's just your either good at math or english.

What level are you on? And if so, what type of topics are you learning?

Maybe try Khan Academy? They have a lot of free courses and lessons, both on math and other subjects.

I highly recommend looking at the different types of learning. You can learn with all five of your senses, but one usually dominates. If you're a visual type, use something like cards that you go over repetitively. If you're a listener type, record yourself reading problems and solutions out loud and listen to it later, etc. It's a bit of trial and error, but once you feel like you like one solution more than the other, you'll be much more efficient at learning all sorts of things~

(if you're still in school)

Not sure if the weed is helping atm :rofl:

^This, first recognize HOW you learn, genuinely surprised it took this many posts for someone to mention it, good job.

I actually highly recommend a private tutor who is attending a nearby college. Normal tutors who run actual businesses tend to get lazy over time, and gradually provide lower quality service to continue making money off of you. Why wouldn't they do that? it's undetectable and is extremely easy profit.

18-22-year-old college students have proven to be the best tutors simply because they've already made it to college, and are on track to succeed in their career path! They generally don't charge as much as actual companies, and a simple Facebook or Instagram post will help you find someone! Make sure during these tutoring lessons you record, or at least ask to record, so you can go back later and listen to how they solve problems! I used to average C's on my math tests back in 10th grade, but after taking my own initiative and meeting with college-level students, we went over the basics then advanced further in mathematics, helping me get higher grades in the class. They also teach you really good studying methods that help out across all subjects! Whether I win the $30 or not, I highly recommend at least trying this method for a month or two, because I promise it will get you places.

Goodluck man!

I was thinking about getting a tutor, I think i'm pretty confident I should get one now. I'm also in Grade 10 right now, and i'm really trying to turn something around. If it works out I owe you. Thanks a lot for the advice.[DOUBLEPOST=1603988438][/DOUBLEPOST]

I still haven't recognised my style in learning. I really wish I could but that's another difficulty for me. Any suggestions?[DOUBLEPOST=1603988477][/DOUBLEPOST]

English is my thing, one thousand percent.

Best thing I could find that seemed somewhat reliable.

As someone with both Dyslexia & Dyscalculia (search it up if you don't know what that is) the only thing that has really helped me any bit at all is either private sessions with teachers split up throughout the week/month, or interactive learning/learning in ways that are fun.

It's super hard to find a way to learn math that's fun, but if you have a teacher that can somehow spice things up, making it fun will help with memorization and motivation and I promise it'll help out. I know that's not the most useful tip but this is all I've been able to do from my own personal experiences.

Good luck!

Math seems like something you either get it or you don't

I'm one of the lucky ones who was born with a logical thinking style, and a fast learner.
Yes, maths is hard, and there's not really much you can do to learn then put the hours in and grind through questions.
It's the same with programming - your first language is always going to be hardest, it's not so much the content itself, but more the thinking style you need to adapt to.
For me, I dislike pure mathematics, it's repetitive and frankly dull - however, physics (which contains lots of maths) is a lot more interesting and gives the maths some meaning, if you will.

What I would suggest is trying to find some different ways to nail that logical thought process into your brain - the traditional style of teaching sucks, they just drone on and on in front of a group of kids and it's no secret that it doesn't work for everyone. At the end of the day, no matter how many notes and different learning techniques you try, maths (at its core) is just pure number work and logic.

There are some subjects where it just sort of "clicks" eventually, but for me, maths was not (and still is not, at A-level) one of those subjects.
However, PLEASE don't let me discourage you, I know that you can do it but it comes with a lot of time and practice.

Best of luck my man.
