Does your school have a tutoring program?  They are usually free and the tutors are very helpful.  Talk to a counselor or advisor and see what they suggest.

If I were you I would ask your school librarian if there is a tutoring program at your school.  Or ask if there is some place you could fine out.

yeah, i can help.  i can help you be a better parent by giving you some advice:  don't do your son's homework for him.  you are sending him to school to learn, aren't you?  how is he going to ever learn how to do anything if you spend days doing his work for him?  \n\nsure, he might end up with an A in first grade, but who cares about what you got in first grade?  you could make an argument that grades are important to his future if they are high school grades, but it's far more important that he actually *learn* things at this age.\n\nsheesh.

I don't know about the States, but here in the UK you can start by joining tutoring agencies, which people who want tution for their kids contact. The downside is that also demand a large percentage of your own takings...usually approx 25%. However, once you have one, and you are good, word of mouth is the best way!

Ask your teacher or counselor.

Call your local College and ask. There are plenty of tutors looking for experience in order to receive credits, and cash.

I highly recommend a good tutor.  The one on one attention really helps and it's much more comfortable asking questions. Worked wonders for me!

The answer above is a great idea.  Of course, this will only work if you don't mind non-person to person tutoring.\n\nI would contact your local high schools and see if there are any tutors that will tutor your kid.  It might help both the high school student (elective credit) and your kid (because young kids look up to high school students).\n\nNewspapers are always advertising people looking for work such as nannies, care-takers, and yes...even tutors.\n\nI would try the high schools first.\n\nHere are a list of tutorint centers in the Portland area:\nhttp://www.anysubject.com/portland-tutors.asp\nhttp://portland.craigslist.com/lss/\nhttp://www.mindsinmotiontutoring.com/

Try...\n(1) The phone book  (Beware of tutoring companies! they are expensive!!!! I wouldn't pay more than $20 per hour!)\n(2) call the counselling office at your local college to see if they can reommend a tutor.\n(3) Look online.... go to yahoo, type in the name of your city and the word "tutor".\n(4) If you just need a few answers to questions, you might consider online tutoring or homework help through email:\nhttp://www.tutor-homework.com ($15 per hour)\nhttp://www.ineedahelpinghand.com (various tutors w/ various prices).\n(5) Depending on the level of math, you might be able to hire a high school student who is good at math to tutor your son.\n\nGood luck!

The best way to get help for your son is to get someone who can truly give him individualized attention with the assignments he is specifically struggling with. The problem with these learning centers (and yes - I took my son to one when he was in 6th grade) is that they just give your son more work instead of specifically going over HIS work to help him understand what he needs to do to understand the actual work he is getting at school.\n\nCall your local college or university -- many college students are extremely happy to help tutor kids, and are appreciative of the extra income.

go to your local community college and ask them if they have math tutors. i'm a math tutor at my community college and tutor kids in middle school a lot. also advertise that you are looking for a math tutor as well. if that doesn't help, try any of those homework/tutor centers like Silvan Leatning Center. I help out at one in California, and they relaly help the kids. it's also in an environment where there are others just like him struggling in the same subject, so he won't feel so alone. try to stay away from instrctional videos and things like that. they dono't help that much since he is only 12 his attention span may be too low for something like that. one on one interaction is the best. good luck

Put message in the local paper. Contact schools with your details and as above said put it on school notice boards. Equally you could look for home schooling groups and societies and advertise there. My Brother found his private tutor through school because they had told his english teacher their details. You could get a website this will be easily accesible for a lot of people who want to check you out quickly without having to ring or drop in. Create cards and flyers with simple details so parents know what they are getting
