I don't know if I'm a "typical" homeschool mom (or even if there is such a thing), but math is definitely one of the subjects that I struggle to teach, even though I got good grades in math.  I'll admit, it's not my favorite subject, so I'm glad to have a close family member who is a former math teacher and can help fill-in-the-blanks when we need her to.  I've never checked into the cost of a tutor, but i'm sure it's not cheap.  So, if you're in need of a little extra help in the math department, you might want to check out Math Tutor.  Here is what their website says sets them apart from other math help programs:
