THINGS TO SCRIPT IN YOUR DR:

• high alcohol tolerance. (vomiting and getting blacked out drunk 24/7 is NOT demure.)

• amazing grades, even if you’re low effort. (always get a’s and maybe b’s for no reason. you blink, boom. 100% in pre-calculus).

• ALLERGIES DONT EXIST.

• braces are free, dental insurance is free. you can buy “cute nonmedical braces” off amazon. (very specific but i love braces)

• your phone/electronic never breaks, lags, etc. and is always up to par.

• your desired color iphone exist (pink!).

• for my vapers: you will get the greatest nic buzz no matter how many puffs.

• if you’re going to college in your dr, you’re always winning and receiving scholarships. #loan? #whatsthat?

• everything is handed to you for cheap/free. a car? maybe your dad surprise you with one! an apartment? someone ask if you want it and it’s clean! a concert? some person dropped their ticket and forgot.

• you’re popular but mysterious. (so everybody know you, but don’t really know you. your circle probably small too.)

• you don’t forget anything while on the road/at your destination.

• unlimited funds.

• you always get a job (and keep it too!).

• if you like astrology, script that your natal chart or birthday is different. in fact, make your birthday YOUR desired sign! (for example, 01/01 is a pisces. instead of actuality, a capricorn).

• you don’t have a roommate for college, so the dorm is all yours.

• uber, lyft, and all that stuff is cheap. (they be costing you an arm and a leg just to go down the street 😭)

• being a stem major is easy. (trust me, i feel for stem major shifters)

How do you think Yuu’s otherworldly education compares in common subjects between Twisted Wonderland and Yuu’s world? Would a Yuu being 16 influence if the prefect is ahead in any classes? I’m sure this would be dependent on the standard age for levels in a school system and what kind of school system we are looking at.

I’m going to use math as an example for my rambling. Math isn’t a skill that requires any magical knowledge as a background, so Yuu could theoretically be ahead in that subject. (I have no clue what math skills are required by grade in a Japanese school which NRC is partially based on.)

Using my high school as an example. Our math courses followed the track: Algebra 1, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Pre Calculus, and then AP Calculus or AP Statistics depending on the year. A freshman could easily make it into a higher math like Calculus before graduating if that person started farther along in the track.

So a Yuu (from the 4 year system of schools) could have been approaching a higher level of a subject at 16. And if Yuu’s math skills were better than the level of a first year, I’m not sure a placement test would have been offered to Yuu since that would require effort from Crowley Grim’s level would have to be accommodated on top of fitting Yuu’s schedule with normal first year classes. Which would be such a disservice to Yuu, even if the class being easy gives more time for the subjects that need to be learned from the ground up.

I have thought way too hard about this. I am sorry for the rabbit hole and the asks being so close together.

- 🦐

No need to apologize for sending asks shrimpy friend, you always have the nicest theories. You can spam me if you please.

We know from a few tidbits here and there that grade skipping is allowed, but it depends on where you are in Twisted Wonderland. Given that the original intent for Idia was to have him be a child prodigy who had speed ran his way into NRC, I would assume grade skipping is allowed by the school board, but well. You have already hit on the tiiiiny wittle issue with Yuu.

Grim and Yuu's grades are averaged, if I understand what Crowely says at the start of the game and Crewel's vignette correctly. The idea was that since Yuu would automatically fail any magic based classes, Grim would pick up the slack there and Yuu would be able to help him learn practical life skills. Yuu being smart probably would help them, but their other half would still need to be brought up to speed about things like basic math before Crowley would consent to let them jump ahead a year.

You are correct that this would be a disservice to Yuu. Deuce's dorm uniform vignette has him struggling to solve simultaneous equations. Ace and Cater both list this as a basic math skill they learned in middle school, meaning they are excepted to know this, so a Yuu who was in something like Calc or AP Stats would be in a very advantageous position... but they still would need to teach basic math to Grim and keep on him so he did his homework for his other classes.

So the TL;DR:

No Yuu being more advanced than the other freshmen probably wouldn't help them graduate faster. It might help them educate Grim faster, but this assumes he wants to work which he does not.

Yes this is almost entirely down to Crowley not wanting to put in effort and his decision to count Yuu and Grim as one student.

If we are being honest it probably is more convenient for Crowley to have Yuu be a first year given the work he wants them to do for him. He gets to keep them around longer that way lol.

Skill Names in DE's Turkish Localization

Disco Elysium is one of those games that works way better if localized instead of directly translated. There are so many references, hard to translate jokes, a lot of niche terminology and a lot of different types of speech characters use. It also loves using foreign words a lot, especially French. Lockpick prioritized keeping the vibes and tone of the text over translating things literally. So a lot of things got: changed, including skill names:

As you can see, some of the names that couldn't get translated directly got changed. Makes sense. I can't imagine that approach working for half light for example, since it isn't a word people use in English. Some extra notes on these changes:

"Calculus" part of Visual Calculus is called "Kalkülüs" in Turkish. It's not a commonly used word here though. We do have calc and pre-calc lessons in high school, we just don't refer to them as such. Analiz is easier to understand.

Shivers doesn't have a Turkish word for it. Closest thing is "Titreme" or "Titreme Nöbeti" botth of which sound very technical. Doesn't fit the skill at all.

The Turkish word for Suggestion is "öneri". It doesn't work for our purposes because its meaning is closer to "recommendation", like suggesting something. It doesn't have the sinister undertones that "suggestion" can have sometimes. Funnily enough, this skill's whole thing is subtlety. So I bet they'd hate to be called manipulation.

Ali Barutçuoğlu, one of the people who worked on this localization, actually talked about Inland Empire on a blog post. It's definitely an interesting case. As you may know, Inland Empire is a reference to a David Lynch (Rip) film. It was released here but since "Inland Empire" refers to a place, its name wasn't localized. Like how you wouldn't translate "Chinatown" literally. Lockpick didn't want to get rid of the movie reference, so they named the skill after Mar Adentro (En: The Sea Inside), another drama film. A sea inside of someone can refer turbulent emotions in Turkish so it's an amazing fit in my opinion! It works even if you don't get the reference.

Savoir Faire has to be my favourite change though. If you have seen the Ultraliberal quest, you know. There is the fact that he nicknames himself "Savvy" for the entire quest - BUT ALSO, "işbilirlik" is almost always used in context of like, office jobs and business. The players who didn't go that route can easily recontextualize it as a general thing as well. It has an air of confidence which fits the skill. It's perfect.

Not mentioned here, but Esprit de Corps was changed to be Turkish as well. An English person can guess the meaning of it without understanding French, that's not the case for a Turkish speaker. Still, Turkish has a lot of loanwords from French that Lockpick can use - like "gendarme" (jandarma)!

So it's weird how like. The Kennet girls are good at everything, aren't they? [pale spoilers ahead]

Like that's obvious, it's textual -- it's very textual, other characters being in something like awe over it over and over and over across the story. The girls are very good at this, and they have a deep well of power. This comes up continuously.

what's weird is thaaat a lot of the fanbase seem to like, enjoy that. Enjoy having protagonists who can play around with magic in a way Blake never ever could have. I kind of get that, I won't like shit-talk it too hard. (I do like Verona, y'know?)

But it's an interesting fact. Because Wildbow's the underdog protagonist guy! At least in action scenes, that's his whole thing! Taylor and Blake have to eat shit and die to claw their way to victory, and often those scenes work for me. And it's one of the things I think WB gets the most praise for? Like, from his established base. It's a conscious choice to not do that for Pale. He like, introduced the idea that this kind of wild practitioner would be especially powerful. He made that up for this book.

I wonder what that decision looks like -- after Ward, and Ward's issues, especially, since that seemed to be the first break from this. Underdog protagonists seem to be the default, for him; the thing he has most experience with. I've seen posts from him describing his process -- put characters against the wall without having a pre-planned out for them, so WB himself has to puzzle out exactly what they can use to make it out alive -- and he seemed to derive like... An actual enjoyment, out of it?

Yeah, there are fights in Pale where they're up against the wall... even one where, with Dire Consequences for us all, Wildbow had them lose because he couldn't see a way for them to win!

But it's not the same. I'd honestly say they usually lose because of their like, lack of full maturity -- their child soldier-y emotional rawness and uncertainty -- their lack of cohesion, as the book usually plays it. Lucy cannot stop John from joining the Contest because she can't hold her nerve against him. The girls cannot stop the murder plot from coming to fruition because they lack unity, aren't working together as a team. Emotional stuff. The girls have more tools in their box than any Wildbow protagonist before them, by far, but they can't always use them properly to get the W, for emotional reasons, for character reasons.

In theory, that's an interesting direction (maybe, possibly), and I should be relieved that Wildbow is trying something fresh. In practice... I've said I don't like Pale's fight scenes. I think Wildbow is plainly worse at this than the content of his previous works.

Part of this is seen in the Contest. Or, at least, how Wildbow Posts about it. If you can't tell, a specific WoG lives in my brain: Wildbow said once that he kept the story going past Break because he genuinely did not believe the trio could beat Maricica. I can imagine him doing his typical calculus for this, and what led him to that conclusion, maybe. For example, we've heard a lot about the ability of the Fae to manipulate stuff, aaaand to have the girls come along and undo all of that with minimal information to begin with wouuld sort of. Damage our belief in Faerie significance. Still, though -- cards on the table, here -- I think this was a Dumb and Bad choice. (It's a sidenote to this post, but I think it's very strange that, in-story the straw that breaks the camel's back is shown to be the Alabaster allowing shit to go on rather than throwing in with John, effectively a betrayer revealed moment -- a thing that, even if sorta his intention from the start, he could simply say 'aw beans i never really planned this out far enough' and just drop. for the sake of wrapping up a better story. and naturally i believe this would have been better also because it means we never would have fucking gotten White Woman Animus!! i digress. i digress.)

Maricica had weaknesses the story gave us to nibble on, and those weaknesses... are just kind of dangling threads, now? As of where I hopped off? like, guess she can't be that inexperienced with people if she became a goddess and started a cult and helped with all that red heron shit lol

So it's that thing I said, about fight scenes being more character driven. But then also, he's clearly thinking about this the same way as ever! As shown by his weird logic with framing the story going past Break as a thing he Had To Do, for Logical Reasons, or at least that weighing on the decision. a thing that is silly and i disagree with on it's face. right?

And then this shows in the sheer quantity of fight scenes -- if the girl's main limiter is internal emotional context and stuff........... uh... why are there so many fights? Why wouldnt the story naturally curve towards. having fewer fight scenes when theres no other way to square things away. that progress character arcs. whyyy do i care about fight scene 129 when i know how strong these girls are. whyyy are we fighting so many random others, and dedicating genuinely long segments of story to them, rather than montaging that shit? Getting it over with? If it has to be there at all? (for reference -- I just tried to think of a Random Pale Fight i fully don't think mattered. i selected the random like. angel summoner guy? with the fortnite constructor angel. that's a part of the musser invasion or whatever. this is a character with literally no substance, just a musser-side goon. From him entering the ongoing! fight to Lucy getting out of dodge is 4.6k words. Plague 12.7, the Mannequin fight, up to Mannequin leaving -- that's almost the entire chapter -- is 6.9k words. on the worm wiki, i saw there's a brief 'major events' summary of that chapter. i couldnt tell you the major events of the Pale chapter, of which that section of fight is like a third, maybe. lucy gets a bit more upset. lucy gets in a few quips against musser-side characters that actually matter but actually dont matter much to how that broader conflict is resolved. i guess.)

Wildbow writes any random fight the girls get into as being worth as many words as his fights in the past! the scrappy, pay-offy ones. bleh. My point in all this: you cannot simply set your protags up in the way I'm positing, here, and then continue to use the same vocabulary of every other serial anyway. it straight up doesn't work. it's exhausting. The Future is An Eternal Slaughterhouse 9000 Arc. Look, thats a criticism that boils down to 'web serials are too long'. And I'm not sure I care too much about web serials being too long! I have read longer web serials with longer fight scenes! I have written fiction with a longer average word count per chapter than Wildbow, at least during Worm! its a real criticism, but its not one im amazingly interested in personally. But the Kennet three could've had weaknesses to play around -- or at least, more weaknesses. We are in a Post-Pact world, and in this Post-Pact world, the magic in Pale really barely feels like it, uh, relies on discourse and presentation. like at all. And that seems like an option to give these characters obstacles! An option Wildbow gestures at during the Musser meta-arc!

but what struck me getting that word count comparison earlier, skimming that fight? The girls just aren't operating in that world. There's never a thought for presentation -- maybe sometimes, for a slight edge. But it never really matters, certainly not after the blue heron. They're using glamour as a workhorse tool, covering goblins in it for brief misdirects to get an edge in a fight; they're calling on the same shrine spirits over and over. They don't build up tools over a portion of story then cash them out for a satisfying win, they're just... strong. They have more items in their bags than Wildbow probably knows what to do with. Strong enough for just Lucy to dunk on any random set of practitioners, but not strong enough for the story to just skip that part, and not strong enough to just solve the plot until it's time to go fuck up Charles and end the story.

I know you could argue that I'm making this up, or that it's what some people prefer to what Pact was doing. But I just think it's not even what wildbow is good at! (and i always theorize that when wildbow is writing kind of bad, it's probably because he's not actually engaged or happy with what he's putting himself through. did he read a specific thing that made him personally excited to make the girls so versatile? I don't really know, but I don't get that vibe.)

And I have a couple of specific things I want to point out to try and prove this is like. a thing at all, to wrap up on: First, Glamour is used as this very, uh, soft magic thing, this very basic narrative tool. A pure mechanic of, like, mental states. If you're shaken, if you're uncertain, your glamour gives out on you -- if you shake your opponents, make them skittish, your glamour is better at misdirecting them. This is fiiine? But too vague for what Glamour is. Wildbow simply failed to properly present tradeoffs to one of his character's main action verbs, one that literally had those tradeoffs in Pact. And one last example to try and prove this: they dont even wear the hats and cloaks anymore duuude. Like, in my eyes: there was a very simple to read gambit being made, with the hats and masks and cloaks? You are awakening early, you will always have awoken early: You accepted an early shield against what that meant. A constructed image in place of the image of a fully-fledged adult, masking that youth; Whimsical and inherently magical, inherently wild. It's a very basic tradeoff, and one the story promises you it knows: even if they really would rather not have to go through the whole song and dance of suiting up, if it's tactically suboptimal or else they mature out of it and realise it's not for them, they will never be able to escape it -- not without giving up power. A mark accepted that cannot be given up. A mechanical restriction on their powersets to make up for some of their advantages, that also has some character relevancy. The Good Stuff.

except yeah it can. be taken off. it doesn't super matter. not really. they do plenty of magic without all the stuff on or even any of the stuff on -- it's rarely presented as an obstacle. it doesnt really matter. Because then, you see, they couldnt mature out of it and do cool stuff! it'd be. annoying. frustrating. they'd have to like. deal with changing past the natures they made for themselves. they'd have to. be characters. with character issues. that present themselves in fight scenes. you know?? what are we doing.

☆ tue, april 9th, 2024

☆ today i tried to get an idea for the broader context of calculus so i can understand the lectures better - i watched some videos about the general and ideas and limits. i'm still a little lost as to applications but i think seeing the professor show some examples might help ☆ i also got ready for the lab tomorrow, i read over what we're doing and did the pre-lab activities. we're doing titration! i did that a lot in highschool so i'm not so nervous about it. i took a little time out of lunch break to do the lab report of our previous experiment too. ☆ in our linear algebra class we're seeing vectors and their properties, but i think with this lecture we're done with the topic - we're doing exercises next i believe. the professor asked me to solve an exercise in the board and i was very nervous but it wasn't that difficult. we're still seeing periodic properties in general chemistry and i got through more of the exercise list! 15/33

What is STEM?

In the Senior High School (SHS) education, "STEM" stands for or refers to a set of academic subject that focuses particularly in "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics." It is an academic track or strand that focuses on these specific subjects to prepare students for careers in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics-related fields. It's a specialized educational program aimed at giving and providing students a strong foundation in these fields. It's a way of organizing and categorizing educational programs to help students develop skills and knowledge in these disciplines. This strand can help them in their college degrees in the near future since stem strand is in senior high school department it is only a two year program.

The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand is one of the four strands available for senior high school in the Philippines. Students are free to choose their SHS track in the Philippines. Some may already choose something to prepare them for their college degree and future employment. Other students use SHS as an avenue to explore different subject matters and broaden their knowledge. The STEM strand in SHS is an inquiry and research-based program. It exposes students to more complex mathematics and science concepts and aims to serve as a foundation for their future college degrees.

Advantages of Taking STEM Strand.

The STEM strand encompasses many subject matters compared with other SHS strands. Because of this, the students are presented with many concepts and ideas that they can apply to their daily life as well as in their future studies.

SKILLS NEEDED IN STEM STRAND.

Critical Thinking

Being successful in STEM not only depends on the ability to think critically but also to apply concepts to solve a problem. To find solutions to problems, students must use their critical thinking skills. In STEM, this is much more than solving word problems

Problem-Solving

The notion of modern skills is what binds the STEM movement together. A skill that every student needs is the ability to problem-solve. Everybody will face problems every day, but some may be more complex than others, like doing taxes. Employers and society need problem solvers because it’s one of the types of skills that matter. Most STEM professionals may not directly use advanced mathematics like calculus taught in school, but the way it teaches people how to problem solve is significant.

Math & Science Skills

The mathematics and science skills you are learning in school are the foundation of STEM and must be applied in pursuit of solutions. The math and science used to solve problems will connect to and extend your coursework, as well as highlight connections between ideas and subject areas.

Collaboration

Big challenges are rarely solved by individuals. Working on STEM problems also involves learning to work as a productive part of a collaborative team. these skills will help students who want to take stem, it will help them so that they will not have difficulty in taking stem strand because stem students are studying different mathematical equations related to the field of engineering and architecture, critical thinking, mathematical and science skills are necessary because this strand specializes in the subject of pre-calculus and it also has earth and life sciences. Collaboration is necessary in this strand because performance tasks are often done in groups, especially communication and research in Filipino language and culture, oral communication, understanding culture, society and politics and English for academics and professional purposes.

STEM can offer several new skills to obtain. By learning about STEM skills, you can improve your abilities and use them to find job prospects in related fields. In this article, we discuss STEM skills, including some common examples, how you can develop these skills and how to highlight them during a job search.

What is the Purpose of Stem strand?

The goal or purpose of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) strand in education is to provide students with a strong foundation in these related fields. It aims to prepare students for careers and further education in areas related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This strand often focuses on developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of these subjects, which are essential in today's increasingly technology-driven world. It also seeks to promote innovation, creativity, and a strong analytical mindset in students. Ultimately, the goal is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in STEM-related professions and contribute to advancements in these fields.

Conclusion.

In my conclusion, this strand is one of the best strands to choose because here you can develop different skills that will help you in future careers such as nursing, civil engineering and BS Psychology. In this strand, your talents will be honed in various subjects, especially in math and science. you can develop your mathematical skills and technology skills here. This is also where you can develop multitasking and you will undergo a lot of pressure but it is a preparation for us in college so that we will not be shocked badly in college because the pressure is greater in college. this strand is one of the most difficult strands but it is one of the most effective strands to increase your knowledge and skills that you can use and support in your journey in the future.

As a huge fan of the absurdity of something like Star Trek: The Animated Series (Kirk fights genies you guys), of course I didn't hate SNW's musical episode. But, as is so often with SNW, the show is let down by really crummy camera work. Okay, SNW, you've got Trek first full-on musical episode, you need a great pair of hands, and so you pick as your director... the guy who played the bully in the original Escape to Witch Mountain and whose entire directorial CV is lousy CW shows? As far as I can tell he's never touched a musical in his life and it shows: what little choreography there is is terrible, and—just to pick one example—Spock's big solo (a fun, punny breakup song about calculus) has him walk away from a console, stand at a rail, and walk back again. It's boring visually, utterly banal when the camera work needs to be lifting the material up (of course, like everything filmed against a LED-volume wall, the blocking is garbage, the lighting is bad, and the depth of field is visibly off). I have some aesthetic complaints too but those are more subjective: I liked the big classic Broadway sounding numbers, and was less impressed by the poppy modern ones—reminds me too much of something you'd get Idina Menzel to shout-strain over a synth orchestra and, yes, for budget and time reasons the orchestra here sounded mostly synthetic. The budget was not infinite and I can forgive a cheaper sound (although that doesn't explain why the overdubbing is clearly not synced correctly in so many scenes - very distracting.) There's a lot to love—it has an infectious joy, the actors are having a great time, and it's clear a lot of care went into pre-production. I am always happiest when SNW lives up to its title - when it really pushes itself into new and strange places and doesn't just rehash under-thought gorn bullcrap. A musical episode is a capital idea... so why didn't they get a director who understood how to film a musical? As so often on finishing an SNW episode you're left going: that was okay, but it could have been good or even great had there just been a little more care. (And while the Klingon joke was funny, I feel like the better, more subversive joke would be that the people who canonically sing while flying into battle should have loved finding themselves in a musical. Klingons and music go hand in hand: if anyone's going to do an anodyne boy band feat. number it should been Tellerites. Now that's comedy.)

Was thinking about how the metaphors could extend to other character classes (and I have no idea if these line up with the prof's or not):

Like, Cleric is the one who works well with others and is a good lab group buddy because they'll help you work through difficulties.

Fighter can be helpful towards others, but might require more direct prompting for that than Cleric. Moreso than anyone though, they knuckle down and power through any confusion or difficulty they may encounter. Probably too slow to ask for help themselves.

Wizard is the most studious. Happily takes and reads notes over and over. Most willing to go through textbooks or other sources to gain full understanding. Might prefer to shut self in and read than participate in a class, including direct attendance.

Sorcerer is the kind of person everyone gets a little jealous of - They just have a natural grasp of the subject matter. It flows effortlessly through them, but they might not always be able to explain the underlying mechanisms well because they've never had to work at making the connections between step 1 and 2, etc.

Warlock though - I thought about this one and rather liked where I landed:

The too-obvious-and-kind-of-gross version is "Hur, Hur, willing to make bargains for grades" - Bribes of all kinds, including *eyebrow waggle*. Yeah, no. We're not going there with this.

Instead, I look at the Warlock as a student for whom this class is the price they're paying for whatever else it is they're doing at college/university. They have utterly no interest in the subject matter, but it's a prerequisite or requirement of some sort.

You need calculus and linear algebra to continue with your ecology coursework - They're pre-reqs, they're probably useful in a lot of cases, but rarely actually come up and most of those courses just teach/use more straightforward/conventional math techniques or formulas/programs that simplify the hard work [May or may not be speaking from direct experience on this specific example].

Alternatively, you need a certain number of humanities credits, and this psych/history/sociology/whatever course seemed least difficult/tedious/objectionable. You need a certain number of science credits and this earth & atmospheric sciences course seemed like it was less work than physics, chemistry, or biology.

Anyway - As a Warlock, you're seeking to gain power (education) in your major, but your patron (the school) has demanded that you fulfill their request of "take this specific course in order to progress/do a set number of these tasks to complete the bargain".

So, a Warlock is not necessarily going to be an enthusiastic member of the class, but they will be looking for the most efficient way to get this done without affecting their other courses/without hurting their overall GPA this semester.

They might be inherently good at it, they might be inherently bad at it, but they will rise to a level they consider adequate and don't want to waste time going above and beyond, but also don't want to fail and have to do this again.

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more pionts in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

Why Advanced Math Classes Matter and How to Choose One

Having a good background in math is not only necessary in today's competitive academic and professional worlds, it's also a key to success. Basic math skills are important, but advanced math classes take your learning to the next level. They help you develop analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that are in high demand in many areas, such as technology, science, engineering, finance, and data analysis.

What are classes for advanced math?

In advanced math classes, you learn more than just basic formulas and math skills. Higher-level subjects like calculus (differential and integral) • linear algebra • trigonometry • probability and statistics are used in these classes to push students to their limits.

Advanced levels of geometry, discrete mathematics, number theory, and mathematical logic

Not only do these subjects help students get ready for tests and college courses, they are also very important in many real-life situations in business and study.

Who Should Take More Advanced Math?

These people do well in advanced math classes:

• High school kids studying for tests like the SAT, ACT, or JEE that help them get into college.

• College students who want to get better at math.

• People who work as professionals in engineering, computer science, economics, data science, and other areas.

• People who are interested in math and love to learn and solve hard problems.

If you find simple math easy and want to learn more difficult ideas, these classes can help you grow faster and give you more options.

Advantages of Taking Advanced Math Classes

1. Better ability to solve problems: math isn't just about numbers; it's also about using logic to figure out how to solve problems. More difficult math makes you think more deeply and clearly.

2. Better Academic Performance: People who take more difficult math classes usually do better on tests and in academic events.

3. Ready for a Career: Employers really value people with good math skills, whether you want to work in technology, finance, or study.

4. College Preparation: These classes make it easier to handle the math you'll be taking in college.

5. Confidence Builder: Handling tough topics well boosts confidence and encourages students to go beyond their comfort zones.

Picking the Right High School Math Class

When picking an advanced math class, think about the following:

• Where You Are Now: Start with a course that builds on what you already know and gets you ready for the next task. For example, you should go from Algebra II to Pre-Calculus before you start Calculus.

• Your Goals: If you want to become an engineer, you should study calculus and linear algebra. If you want to work in data science, you need to know a lot about statistics and chance.

• Type of Learning: You can pick groups that meet in person or online, depending on your schedule and how you learn best. A lot of websites now offer live, interactive sessions, recorded lessons, and one-on-one help.

• Expertise of the Teacher: Look for teachers with a lot of experience who can explain hard topics in a way that is clear and interesting.

• Practice Material: To help you learn better, a good course should give you a lot of problem sets, quizzes, and practice tests.

Where to Find the Best Home Tuition Near Me for Math Struggles :

Imagine this: It's the night before a big math test. You're staring at the textbook like it's written in another language. Numbers are dancing on the page, formulas are twisting in your head, and no matter how many times you read the same question—it just doesn't click. Sound familiar?

You're not alone.

Math is one of those subjects that either clicks instantly or causes absolute frustration. But here’s the good news: help is closer than you think—literally. If you've ever typed "Best Home Tuition Near Me" into Google and hoped for a miracle, you're already on the right path. Because when it comes to conquering math struggles, a personalized home tutor can make all the difference.

Why Home Tuition is a Game-Changer for Math Struggles

Before we dive into where to find the best tutors, let’s first understand why home tuition works so well for students who are struggling with math.

1. Personalized Attention

In schools, one teacher may be handling 30–40 students at once. That makes it nearly impossible for them to cater to each student's learning speed and style. With home tuition, the focus is 100% on you. The tutor can go over a single concept ten times if needed—without the fear of judgment or slowing others down.

"The beauty of one-on-one tuition is not just in the explanation—but in the attention."

2. Customized Learning Plans

Every student is unique. Some are visual learners, some prefer hands-on activities, and others just need relatable real-world examples to understand algebra. Home tutors can tailor their teaching method based on your strengths and weaknesses.

3. Comfort of Home

Let’s admit it—nobody likes traveling to a tuition center after a long school day. Home tuition brings quality education right to your doorstep. You learn better when you’re comfortable, relaxed, and in a familiar environment.

4. Consistent Feedback and Motivation

A good tutor acts as both a teacher and a mentor. Regular feedback helps track progress and boost confidence. Motivation from a dedicated tutor can do wonders for a student's self-belief—especially in a subject as intimidating as math.

How to Know If You Need Home Tuition for Math

Here are a few signs that indicate it's time to search for the Best Home Tuition Near Me:

Constant confusion with basic math operations.

Falling grades despite sincere effort.

Fear or anxiety before math exams.

A tutor should not just know how to solve a problem but should also be able to explain the logic behind it in simple terms. Whether it’s basic arithmetic or advanced calculus—they must know their stuff.

2. Patience and Communication

A good tutor doesn’t get frustrated when a student doesn’t understand something. They try again. And again. In a different way. Communication is key—especially with a subject as tricky as math.

3. Adaptability

Each student learns differently. The tutor must be able to switch strategies and teaching styles based on what works best for the student.

4. Experience and Testimonials

Nothing speaks louder than results. Look for tutors who have experience and positive testimonials from other students or parents.

Where to Find the Best Home Tuition Near Me for Math

Here comes the big question—where do you start your search? Thankfully, you have more options than ever before.
