How to Make Math Easy

Okay, lets face it. There is no way to actually make Math "Easy" but there is a way to make it so that it's not "Hard." I tried googling "Math Life Hacks," "How to be good at Math," and "How to get an A in Calculus," to no avail. I learned some good study tips, but it wasn't that "BAM" secret that I was looking for: that resource that would ensure my inevitable success in Calculus and Physics. But I didn't give up there.

He has videos on EVERY math subject, and unlike the unhelpful khan academy, his videos actually make math seems easy.

I caught up on my Algebra, which was my weak spot, and all of the other things I somehow missed throughout my math journey. I can now proudly say that I am confident I will get through calculus, and physics (once Chris makes more physics videos- the website is still pretty new). That tutor guy is officially on my list of AMAZING people who are still alive. I put him up there with Paula Begoun, Derek Banas, and Bill Gates. People who have done such a service to humanity that their names should be recorded in history.
