Seriously struggling in precalculus

My general ideas on those who struggle:

How have you done in math classes previous to this?
Who is tutoring you?
Have you considered going to a more professional tutoring like Huntington or the like?

Do you have anxiety about math? or in general?

Do you have problems with “word problems” or other types of problems?

In my physics class I had a teacher that would make us approach problems in the same way.

  1. Given -
  2. Find
  3. Solution

Here is an example:

Is that something that would help you?

Can you also learn to identify the solution types that there might be?
How you would identify that you should use a graph to solve an issue?
How would you know you need a derivative?
How would you know you need a matrix?
