There's probably thousands of Hamiltons around the world. There's big Hamiltons in Canada and New Zealand, and many hundreds of smaller ones, including at least one in virtually every state/territory of the US, Canada and Australia.

Your school doesn't have a tutoring center?

Hamilton, Ontario

Sorry for not specifying. I am actually taking the course through an online university, and I've tried the tutoring online portion but it just doesn't seem to be working for me. I still don't get it. I need someone to explain it to me and show me hands on. Let me clarify that I have no prior Physics experience and need to take this course only as a prerequisite. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Physics DUD

Online physics? No labs, I assume?

Labs

No there are labs, but easy ones that you can do at home, I have completed half of the coursework and have written my midterm, as well as two of the 6 labs. But since I'm asking for a tutor you can gather that I didn't do too well on my own.:confused:
