wow, only $1 less than my regular math tutor! I think i'll sign up!!!

Hmm...$39 an hour for tutoring over the internet? it's fairly easily to get a tutor for under $30 an hour (or get help from your math teacher after school for free), and a traditional tutor can help you at a larger variety of times...

and how do they guarantee enough tutors will be available at those times?

But the real question is, will Mulanda be the "e-instructor" in question?

Seriously, I can't quite imagine this thing working. Your math teacher is there for a reason.

Indeed. If you're having trouble in math, I'd talk to the teacher before some random person from an electronics company - Which brings me to ask why TI is tutoring students in math rather than calc use. Isn't math kinda outside their expertise (not that it isn't necessary in the electronics industry, but the teaching part ...)

it says certified math teachers...

I would *hope* that these math teachers are a little more certified than the ones at my school. BTW, where would one get such certification?

You get certified for teaching by taking (and passing) certain specific college classes. Yes, I know 'certain specific' is redundant. So sue me.

Ha... we hadn't had any Mulanda jokes for awhile. I sure HOPE she isn't the one doing the tutoring. ;-)

yeah, and I started them. Because she's the only one that responds to my emails, and is never any help.

No. It will fail.

I agree. That is way to pricy. I have never known of a math teacher that would not give the student help after school. That is way easier, and cheeper, in fact it is free.


-W-

What more do you have to say. I totaly agree. BTW I graduate today and the cerimonies are sometime after 5:30 Pacific Time. Personally 6 years is long enough...bring on the inquiries.

My spelling sense is going crazy!!!

I agree. That is way [TOO] [PRICEY]. I have never known of a math teacher that would not give the student help after school. That is way easier, and [CHEAPER], in fact it is free.

*eye twitch*

Regardless os the distinct advantage TI would have in refference to knowing the hardware, I think a regular tutor works better. And if someone can't get a tutor, TI is still shipping these calculators with extensive manuals.

VP

39$??? Hell no, maybe if it were like 15 someone might use it, otherwise, thats rediculous...

Free math help:

(free is much cheaper than $39 $/h)

Is free not infinately cheaper that $39?

Free is good, very good, like ticalc.org and all its constributers.

Glad you brought that up :)

I don't see why TI should offer tutoring (especially at that price) for 83+, although they could offer it for the 86 and perhaps some other editions (minus the price)

How true, TI should really offer math tutor using TI-86
and TI-89, etc.
