Homeschoolers are the butt of late night tv jokes, a writer recently stated. Being an insomniac, I watch a bit of late night TV and with the exception of one skit that included Micheal Phelps, I don't recall hearing any.

My husband and I don't discuss homeschooling much. We just have an understanding about it. It is something we do, and we live our lives around it. It is good; and that is that.

They're right, we can't teach everything!
Enter homeschool tutor. When my first child reached pre-Algebra a few years ago, I got a bit unnerved when I taught my son a math concept wrong. Realizing my mistake, I ran right out and hired a tutor. The tutor helped my son for two years and while she was teaching him, I listened in and asked questions about areas where I was rust. My second child is starting Algebra now and so far, I have been able to answer any questions she had. So hiring a tutor gave me a double benefit. It helped both of us improve our math skills.
Finding tutors in your area to come to your home is not always possible. Besides the high price tag, availability in your area might be low. However, you can easily find an Online algebra tutor for a very reasonable price should your homeschooled student need help. Such a service is very helpful for homeschool students who might decide to tackle Algebra in the middle of the night. With the help of a website like Tutor Vista, you can have an Algebra tutor available to you 24 hours a day, and seven days a week.
So should my daughter (and I ) get stuck this year and need Algebra tutoring , it is good to know we can get the help we need. Should my son need Algebra 2 help, (a subject that didn't even exist when I was in high school), I also know where to find assistance.
If your homeschooled student needs Algebra help this year, you should know that you can try the service before you buy it. TutorVista offers Free online algebra help to help you decide if you like the service or not. They help with other subjects as well.

Homeschool Curriculum for sale on Ebay
Titles include Teaching Textbooks Geometry and Critical Thinking materials.
I really liked these items and they were very helpful in homeschooling my kids.
I used to use Ebay heavily to make money and I always use it to buy homeschool materials. The problem is that the site was losing popularity due to high shipping and listing fees. They are, however, working to fix those problems and are now allowing people to list 5 items for free each month.
