It's mostly pressure from my sister, mom and aunt that I'm dealing with. My sister tells me adamantly to not hire a tutor. She's younger than I am, and has her biochemistry degree. She's really hardworking. She just doesn't understand my struggles. She told me my tutors are probably younger than I am, like it's something I should be ashamed of.
My Mom can see I'm getting overwhelmed right now and she told me I can hire a tutor if I need to.
I think I need someone to go over the material with me. I don't study well on my own. It really helps to have someone show me and tell me things out loud.
I just asked my sister if she would tutor me online and I'll pay her $15/hour. Maybe since the money is staying within the family she won't object. I just hope she's a good tutor and won't put me down all the time.
She comes back home in Feb. so until then she'd have to tutor me online.
