The best tutoring to get is always a friend IMO. If you don't have one that knows it then try this site: www.academicadvantage.com

it helped me out in Algebra and Geometry.
 
Edwards and Penney's book "Calculus" would be a good starting point. It's very understandable, and covers many topics.
 
I find this website http://www.calculus-help.com/funstuff/phobe.html interesting.
It contains some flash videos.

What is the area where the squares overlap?
