[nobe-l] tutoring math

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
My name is Kelsey Nicolay and I am new to the list as well as the 
Federation in general.  I am a part of wyzant, which is a website 
used by students and tutors to connect to one another.  I 
received an inquiry from a mother requesting tutoring for her son 
in geometry.  I took geometry in high school and did well in it, 
but I'm not sure whether I could tutor it.  I'm completely blind 
and therefore use JAWS and an apex and sometimes a Perkins 
brailler.  I am a member of Bookshare, so if necessary, I could 
go on there and access the textbooks they have.  Therefore, do 
you think a blind person could feasibly tutor a geometry student 
or any math for that matter? If so, how could I help the student 
if I don't have access to the figures? Would they have to 
describe the diagram and give me the dimensions and I could help 
them that way? Or is there another way that would work? I welcome 
any suggestions anyone might have.
Thanks,
Kelsey Nicolay
