This book really helped me out. I had to essentially lean a lot of algebra my self in middle school and in high school. I have the 3rd edition but this 4th edition and she gives you examples. https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Algebra-Barbara-Bleau-Ph-D/dp/1438001509

I never used these books but they are designed for people who already taken these classes and need a refresher.
Reviewing old material from previous math course is part of the struggle when learning higher levels of math. Reviewing them is part of the course. Also, use the calculator as much as you can. It may cut down on mistakes when doing the simplier math. Everyone have this issue. Its not the calculus per say that will mess you up but the simplier math especially when doing multistep problems. for example, there is a polynominal equation function and num solver on my ti 36x pro. I used to do it by hand or type it out the slow way in the calculator using parenthesis and division. It only hurt me in the long run. My calculator also have a fraction button which is something I use more often this semester. its faster, less accident prone, and It will show what I typed in without having to scroll. Become a calculator guru. Find out what calculator that the higher classes allow and read the manual and learn how to make the most out of it. At my college, it is the ti 36x pro.
I am have taken calc 1 to 3 and i am currently taking differential equations. I always have to go baxk and review my trig identites and integral and derivatives of trig functions. Algebra in calculus is something all student will have a hard time remember. So review will be essential. As bad as algebra maybe, Trig is far more easily and more common to forget that I find in myself and my classmates.
Find the zeroes mean where (points) does the line (function) go through the x and y axis.
Hey -
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask some questions so I can get a bit more information on what, exactly, you're looking for.
Will you provide the texts you mentioned, or should I have them?
Who needs the tutoring? A high school student who's currently enrolled in these classes and is needing help? An adult who hasn't used math in years and needs a refresher? This is mostly just out of curiosity, I suppose.
What sort of qualifications are you looking for? I'm a senior at Monterey; I'm very good at and passionate about math (planning to double major in computer science and mathematics when I start university next year); I've been looking for an opportunity to tutor because I think it might suit me, but I've never done it before. So unfortunately, if you're looking for someone with tangible qualifications and experience with tutoring, then I hope you find someone with a much better resume than I, heh. But if you don't find anyone else, I'd be happy to work with you (or whoever is looking for this tutoring).
EDIT: I just looked at your comment history and saw your similar post in /r/TexasTech. Your explanation in the comments answers my second question, so I guess don't worry about that one! Honestly reading your explanation of the situation made me sort of excited - your daughter sounds very gifted and very motivated with an excellent work ethic. Reading the comments on your post, it looks like there are people that are much more qualified than me, but regardless, I would very much appreciate the opportunity to work with her. If I may, I'd like to recommend the book Forgotten Algebra. It was recommended to me after 9th grade, and I was incredibly impressed by it. Unfortunately I don't have my copy anymore because I gave it to a friend who was struggling in Algebra II. I just texted her to ask her how the book is going, and she said that she and her tutor use it often because they've found it very helpful, just as I did.
Also, you mentioned the Academic Decathlon region meet, which is interesting to me because I'm in Academic Decathlon too! Since I go to Monterey, we went to a different region meet than Lubbock High, though. Academic Decathlon is a truly amazing opportunity, and I'm very excited to be going to state in the next couple weeks.
