COLLEGE ALGEBRA TUTORING
"Not only is Thrive Tutoring more than qualified to tutor the subject, flexibility, and time management they possess, is unlike any other tutoring I’ve ever had before."

Why is College Algebra so difficult?
Complex Abstract Concepts
College Algebra introduces students to abstract mathematical concepts, such as functions, polynomials, and logarithms, that can be difficult to visualize and understand. These topics require students to think in new ways, beyond basic arithmetic and simple equations.
Word Problem Questions
One of the biggest challenges in College Algebra is solving word problems. Word problems require students to translate real-world scenarios into mathematical equations, which can be confusing and frustrating if you’re not confident in applying algebraic concepts to practical situations.
High-Stakes Exams
In College Algebra, a significant portion of your grade often comes from tests and quizzes. These high-stakes assessments can be stressful, especially if you find it difficult to recall and apply formulas or solve problems under time pressure.
