I've started a YouTube channel dedicated to helping people learn math and am currently in the early stages of building up the channel's content. (I won't link to it here unless the mods allow me to.) Those of you who are in any grade 1-12 (or know someone who is) who would like some assistance with improving math skills and/or preparing for upcoming quizzes/tests/exams, please send me some example problems and tell me which grade of math class they come from, and I will (time permitting) make tutorial videos showing how to solve problems similar to the ones you send me. Thanks in advance!

Great idea! Please let me know if you need any help and get lots of inquiries! I am not sure I'd be willing to put my likeness in a video, but I'd be interested in using some of my free time to give Skype lessons or whathaveyou. I used to tutor physics and math and it's something I really love to do. Good luck!
Enjoy! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
The focus is currently high school and junior high math, but I can sprinkle in some grade 1-6 content from time to time.

Just curious, how are you making these videos?
I used PatrickJMT all throughout University. Saved my butt from calculus 1 to 3, linear algebra, DE's.
I use LaTeX to type out the solutions and Open Broadcaster Software to record the videos.

Thanks. For now it's a one-man operation. If it grows to Khan-Academy levels of popularity that may change. The goal is to create something similar to Khan Academy though a different style. His videos are pen-and-paper style whereas mine have the solutions typed out. Compare:

Had my son (9th grade and yes, at a Catholic school) look through the videos, and he said they were very well explained, and thought they might come in handy.

I personally prefer your style because you get to read the text at the same time rather than only listen while he writes (like a lecture without having a textbook in front of you). I find it is helpful that students have multiple ways to learn, and for a more visual learner like myself, I find the text helpful. For instance, in the way the derivative operation was described -- I like to read the steps in those "mathematical terms" in the text as well as hear you explain it "as a human being".
To me, math is all about learning multiple methods and explanations, and figuring out the method that makes the most sense to you. The power of a tutor is to expose the student to different approaches and learning styles since they have the one-on-one time to dedicate to it.
I also liked the "professional" drawing versus the hand drawn one, but that is just personal preference.
Good job! I think your tone of voice is approachable and that students would find your explanations accessible.
