I had the same trouble in high school. I was fine through junior high until the 10th grade, where they started introducing "new math". Essentially, one of those really annoying post-modern theorists took control of the administration in my province and introduced a curriculum where people were supposed to learn through analysis and creativity, rather than through a teleological approach. So the math books all had questions, with no advice, and Buddhist-esque thought problems like, "Analyze the simplification. What do you notice about it that is curious?" There was no process. While this approach is great for pure mathematics at the graduate school level and extremely useful for generating pupils with mathematical minds (e.g. not pupils who use their other strengths and then wrap math around them -- e.g. using verbal reasoning to understand math, rather than math to understand math), it was terrible for the majority of students in my province who, like me, barely graduated. I went from an A in junior high in math to a D in my last year. Now, in university, about to graduate with an arts degree, I am returning to math and starting at the basics, with math books written in the 1950s. I just went right to my library and pulled out whatever math book I could find that included basic math. I suggest you do the same. You don't need a tutor! You also don't need any new creative existentialist, post-modern approach to learning math. Just get a book from the 1950s, written in the years of the military industrial complex, where every American was trying to become an astronaut, and read it. Practise some equations. That's all there is to it. DIY and good luck!
