Math homework! Either you like it or dislike it. Rarely is there a happy medium. If you fall in this second group, “Do my online tutoring math homework” may be a phrase that’s popped into your head more times than you care to admit. It’s okay, everyone has been there. It’s like staring into a puzzle that is more like something posed by an trickster god.

You remember when you thought that quicksand, as a kid, was a bigger issue than it actually turned out to. Algebra and calculus took the place of quicksand in adulthood. Did you know?

How do you deal with the math equivalent of Mount Everest when it’s you? Do not panic. I know, it’s much easier to say than do. Remember, while those equations and numbers may look as if they are mocking you on the page, every mountain has its own path.

We’ll be honest for a minute about how to find help with math homework. It’s a mixed bag. The Internet can be both a trove of information and a minefield. If you visit a website that claims to be able to help solve your problem for free, then it is probably not as helpful as asking if your goldfish can give advice about quantum mechanics.

There’s also the option to hire someone who can do it. You might think it’s a good idea to hire a mountain sherpa, but tread lightly. It could be detrimental to your education in the end (because that mountain doesn’t just climb by itself).

A golden middle path? Peer tutoring. Imagine sitting next to someone who’s just finished what seemed like an insurmountable assignment. The person you’re sitting with is not a solitary genius. They are just a regular student like yourself who has cracked the code and can now share it.

It is also worth checking out online forums. They are like virtual campfires, where math students can share stories of their experiences on the front line. This is where you can find the answer to “why does this work?” The answer is given without sighing, but with enthusiasm. Everyone there wants to help you and learn.

I’ll come back to this important fact: comprehension is better than completion. If you’re asked to do your math homework, try changing it into “Understand the math homework.” You may think it doesn’t sound the same, but listen to me.

The goal is to thrive, not simply survive. The joy comes from those “lightbulb” moments, when all the pieces fall into place.

You can ask for assistance when necessary, work with others, or even join discussions on the internet if you like. After all, it’s less important to wrestle X and more important to understand why X is so significant.

But who knows? Who knows?

You may find math boring, but can you imagine conquering this subject? This is an adventure that’s worth taking – flip-flops not included.

The next time someone says “Can I hire someone to teach my online class?”, ask them why. We should perhaps ask them why they are feeling that way rather than jumping to our own moral high horses. Listening is the first step to understanding, even when what you hear may make us uncomfortable.
