ORIGINAL: defiantbadgirl Sir tried helping me with algebra many times. We found that while he's good at figuring it himself, he can't explain it to me so I can understand it. Same issue with tutors. My grandmother, a school teacher, was very good at explaining math. Unfortunately, she died years ago. I may have gotten lucky here - my people are very patient and good at explaining things in different ways until one method clicks. YMMV. But you may also have "dyscalcula." This is a real thing and not to be scoffed at; but there are strategies out there to help you overcome that. Write letters to people, poll your local psych community and get help if that's the case.
