always available, HW counts in intermediate but it's x-tra credit in college algebra. Has some hearing imparment, but that's an easy bridge to cross. Tests mirror HW she gives odd #ed prblms that have answ in back of book. Unless your're a math whiz, you need to do the HW. I took her twice and got B's. Had I put in more effort, I'd have had A's.
