Attention to 'Math Geniuses' doing Maths at University Level

Hi,
I'm a GCSE student currently in Year 10 who wants to get better at math. Currently I'm around a B grade but I want to raise it to A*, an A at least. I was just wondering if any of you are available for an hour once a week (preferably twice a week) to tutor me online? Maybe through skype and/or the scriblink whiteboard (online collaboration whiteboard)?

I am willing to pay £15 weekly (max. £20 - for 2 sessions weekly) through PayPal [father's account, and yes he approves]. I promise this is not a scam/joke or anything, I genuinely am interested in getting tutored for Math and willing to pay for the service. I am on the WJEC exam board if that helps. For those who are interested please PM me.

I only want those who got an A* at GCSE maths and an A* at AS/A level for Maths and/or Further Maths and currently studying Mathematics at University Level.

Thanks for reading :smile:

[P.S The math tutors closest to me live too far away and please don't suggest using sites like khanacademy, mathswatch, examsolutions etc. I just want live tutoring].

Ever heard of MathsWatch? It's going to be your best friend for GCSE Maths. Trust me. I've had a completely crap teacher in year 10 and just using the CD before the end of year exam, I managed to get an A. It's only £1.50 - £3.00 too ~

I have MathsWatch however I prefer live tutoring as sometimes on MathsWatch they may state something and I'm thinking 'Why is that?' yet it can't be answered because it is a CD.

Mainly geometry and trigonometry, all areas really.

if you read carefully, you would have seen that I requested for no one to mention khanacademy for my reasons given above. :colonhash:

Maybe TSR isnt a good place to look for a maths tutor. Try TutorHunt.com where you can find the right maths tutor in your area. :smile:

well, its not live tutoring but its as good as.
if you want to know ""why"" things are the way it is, he will definitely explain/prove it in the video itself.
I would know since i didn't have an intuitive grasp on Maths until watching most of his math vids.

why did you have to neg me? :facepalm:

You would be better off learning yourself. You don't need a private tutor. There are so many great resources to learn from, some you have already noted.

I have tried learning myself and using all the resources I could find, however a major problem is when a statement is made I think 'Why?' however the question is un-answered. I'm more interested in understanding, and I think a private tutor will help me whenever I am confused on something and explain specific things, rather than me reading general information that I may not comprehend.

I specifically asked for no one to mention khanacademy or anything like that, I have my reasons. Yes I admit he does explain things but sometimes what he may explain is not in my area of difficulty, if you know what I mean. There are specific things I don't get but he explains on a general basis. People are different.
