What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First and foremost, you should find a tutor that is able to break down the problem at your level. With math, there is a tendency for Math enthusiast that talks way over the head for the student. Addtionally, in order for students to grasp Math concept, it is important that practice takes place. Tutor should provide addtional drills to help solidify your understanding.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Student should evaluate his/her habit in the particular subject. If you want to learn something, then you can learn to do it. It does take discpline. Part of the fun in math is the ability problem solving. Think of it like solving a mystery. In solving anything, you must find clues. There is no "easy" way of solving, it just takes resolve.
