Hey guys, I just recently started lurking these forums and I need some help. I have decided to start from scratch in my math/physics and chemistry studies. Throughout my school career I have been a slacker in doing my homework and paying attention in class and that has cost me to have a horrible base in math/physics/chem. Now I am in grade 11high school and I am starting to get worried about my post graduate education. My goal is to become an engineer but I don't think I will get through the first year of university with how I am doing right now.

I was thinking of maybe buying some dvds like these

Its very hard to find a tutor in my area becouse I live in a small town. I was thinking of maybe getting an online tutor.

Any help would be appreciated.
