VB tutoring service!

[mayuko]

(i decided to post this here since i figure anyone looking in this forum would need it a lot more than the general public of the veggie patch :p)

so a thread nirvana posted in the veggie patch about having trouble with a couple math problems got me thinking... why not start our own little support system/homework help system? we all have our particular areas of expertise -- i'm good with math, physics, english, spanish, and french, so if anyone needs help with any of these, my AIM is plant Magic dust. see, that was what i was thinking -- anyone who was interested could say what they could help with and some way of contact, and then if anyone needs help with something, they could just hop onto vb and find someone who could help :) i thought it was worth a try anyway!

[spehlbaund]

that's a cool idea.. people say I'm good at math but I'm pretty sure you're a lot better seeing as how I saw that you know trig and I never even took that.. (only got as high as Algebra 2).. good idea for a thread :yes: I'm sure it will be of great use.

[DeathOfDecadenc]

ah where was this last semester when i failed chem? ;)

[DeathOfDecadenc]

also if anyone needs psychology help im good, pretty good at everything but any science besides psych.

[mayuko]

that's a cool idea.. people say I'm good at math but I'm pretty sure you're a lot better seeing as how I saw that you know trig and I never even took that.. (only got as high as Algebra 2).. good idea for a thread :yes: I'm sure it will be of great use.

yeah, i've taken up through calculus (as of the start of next semester, i'm a sophomore in college.. yikes!), but i'm sure i'm a bit rusty on some of the earlier stuff (particularly geometry), and perhaps you could be of more help than i for that... see, teamwork! :D

[spehlbaund]

heh I have a really bad memory so I'm pretty sure I forgot that stuff as well.. even if it was just two years ago :'( mostly it's the algebra that's evil.. I think geometry is ok with me.. the probability thing the last time I was in regular school (alg 2) was the most horrible thing ever. I was confused as heck at the last parts of that :dizzy: good thing we were in teams so i wasn't alone with the madness..

[mayuko]

haha out of all maths, i suck worst at geometry. i'm good at thinking of things in an abstract sense, but if you give me something spatial, something concrete, i'm like "uh... what the hell?" hehe.

[mayuko]

straight from my pm box to this thread! :


would you mention that if anyone needs help with writing Arts essays (editting, critical reviews, defending ideas, reviews, or plan old flushing out ideas), I'm more then happy to help. My specialty is European history, but I know a bit of American and Canadian history, too.

Thanks.

so.. yay for krista! :D

[AngelOfDance]

I can do geometry!

I can also do English (although you probably can't tell from the way I write on VB) and I'm good at interpreting stuff (like poetry and Shakespeare. I can read WAY into stuff like that)

[porvida]

i can do french!!! and sometimes history

[NDvegan85]

Biochem major here!

[mayuko]

could everyone leave their aim or something like that so there's a way for someone to contact you if they need help?

..unless everyone's on vb so often that a pm would be seen instantly ;)

[misq17]

Ooh, this looks cool. I can't say I'd be the best of tutors but I'll sure as hell need math tutoring sometime or another :D

[mayuko]

that's what we're here for :D

[mayuko]

i updated the first post with a comprehensive list (if you will) of who to contact for what subject, just to have everything all in one place for the curious :)

(i hope i didn't leave any out...)

[Scorpius]

I can help with General/H.S. bio as well.
And I'm going for my B.S. in B.S.'ing. ;)

[catgurrl978]

What a great idea! It's to bad I'm already sure I'll fail math.

[mayuko]

aww, have some faith honey! :hamster:

scorpius - added! thanks :)

[NDvegan85]

I just looked at the list and I can do biology, chemisty, intermediate spanish, and physics (to a point).

[Mister Sykes]

I can help with beginning-intermediate Latin, Algebra 3 and all levels below for math, Astronomy, Music Theory, and US and World Histories.

[mayuko]

wow.. kickass! :up: *adds you to the list*

[enoc]

I could help with electronics

Research
Computer skills
i am Realy good at HTML/websites
and hoticulture

mayuko Could Teach me some algebra(the only math i know is +-X and division)

can any one help with physics?

Enoc

[enoc]

This is Awsome

[mayuko]

i can help with both math and physics :) yay being a nerd! pm me with any questions you have, enoc.

and i'll add you to the list for those other subjects.

[enoc]

theoretical physics?(i think this is like wormholes .ect)
