And then if thats your only problem, this whole thing should be fixed by a simple visit to the school counselor?

I don't know anyone that would take time out of their schedule to tutor me for free. On anything. Lmao.
I don't really know anyone who is free to even do that.

"Learning styles" is subject to question. The brain is not wired so that it can only learn from one style. Repetition will always work. I guarantee if you sit there and read the book for 8 hours a day, you'll understand everything perfectly. Now, the problem is the 8 hour part.
Plus, it's not like they're asking you to solve a Millennium Prize problem...

This is how I am. I honestly can't change it. I struggle with math, always have and probably always will. The book actually doesn't help me. When we had a sub in my Adv Alg class for like a week, I got a low C to F on those 2-3 assignments because we were working out of the book. I didn't get anything and everyone else did.
When the teacher got back, he went over it all with us (He doesn't use the book) and just like that *snaps fingers*, I got it. I can't explain it and I can't really change how I think.
Also.. I scored a B on my midterm today. It took me all hour, up till the last minute(literally) to get it done. I had to rush at the end. I had notes too and I still scored a B. I had notes for chemistry and got over 100%. But oh no, I get a B for math even with notes.
Bombed my Geo test though.. with notes too..
