Hire a Physics Tutor? Here's What to Know

[xxsteelxx]

Hey there! I'm currently taking Introductory Physics: Electricity & Magnetism. I never seen this material before, and heard many awful stories. So, my question is whether I should hire a tutor or not? I'm worried that I might become stuck as the topics increase in difficulty. What do guys suggest?

Save yourself some money and develop confidence. Read the material before coming to class, take as few notes as possible, try to keep your head up most of the time, watch what your instructor does.

After class, review the material and try some problems. If they seem too hard, take a problem from the examples in your textbook, work through those.

Summary: Practice, practice, practice. You couldn't possibly be good at the piano if you don't practice it. Similarly, you cannot be good at physics or math unless you work and practice.
