text: where can i find a free online tutor for pre-algebra? i started college for the first time in aug. '06.  i am 57 yrs old.  i am struggling with the math.  it is pre-algebra.  i can't find a tutor in my area except for one day a week for 90 minutes.  i have a learning disabiltiy.  i am not failing yet, but very close.  i need someone with a whole lot of patience and understanding and as important as those are, someone with a sense of humor. you can go to hotmath.com and you can sign up for free, i think. anyways, you go the college section of math and you can probably find the textbook you are using in school. they will explain all the even numbered problems and how the answer was given.
