I was not believed, frankly. I then made them sit with me in my study, and I went online. My father, who thinks, and is, a cat in Math, posed some questions to the tutor at the other end. Pat! Came the reply; you are not what you claim to be: you are a much higher studied student of Math, and not the Patrick I knew who was poor in math! Boy, my father was taken aback. Still the tutor gave him the full resolution, step by step, of the problem, and how the answer could be arrived at!
From that day onwards, my parents never once berated me or treated me like a necessary leper of the household. What made all this possible were my enthusiastic teachers at transwebtutors.com. Using the reach of the internet, and the PC to PC communication, they taught long distance their own specialized subjects. This was done via using even an electronic blackboard, and if someone had doubts, all doubts could be posted on the board, and an online tutor would explain the basics to the final solution to the problem.
Since there is a time difference between India and the rest of Europe (4.30 hours), and US (about 10.30 to 1200 hours), you could also post your problem on the website, and by the time you got up, the tutor had already looked at the board, and given out the answers. Some thought, okay, my homework is done; yes, it was. But for people like me, the tutors help came in helping to understand and then solve the problems. Here are some websites that can help you, if you want:
