Self Help
This is a fantastic free resource, particularly for learning mathematics up to first year calculus! It can help you identify and fill in gaps in your mathematics background and also help you learn some of first year calculus.
I recommend using it as follows:
-Read the first 50 pages of Salman Khan's book "The One World Schoolhouse" for motivation and so you know how best to use Khan Academy
-Create an account
-Do problems starting from the earliest grade that you had some difficulties with and work through to calculus
-Set up an accountability structure (i.e. with parents, classmates, or tutor) to stay on track
-Watch videos when you don't know how to do the problems
-Review each concept when recommended
-Sign me or someone else up as your coach for when you need help!
BetterExplained.com - As a supplementary resource
- This has some excellent intuitive explanations of specific concepts.
- It does not have the comprehensiveness, the problem sets, or the organization of Khan Academy
Free Online University Courses
Check out Coursera, Udacity, and EdX and try to find a free online course that covers similar material to your own course. Also, Hippocampus aggregates and organizes bunch of material.
Hippocampus
Math
1st year calculus. The coverage is quite comprehensive. There is also some lower level material and some linear algebra on here.
You can also see what material correlates to what part of your textbook.
Seems to cover a lot of grade 12 and 1st year university physics.

Practice Problems and Solutions
Free solutions to past exams. This appears to be a fantastic resource put together by students!
The Math Club offers exam packages with past exams and their solutions. While the solutions are not always 100% clear and correct, overall this is an excellent resource.
Physsoc (The Physics Society) also sells exams with solutions, but only for physics 100 and 101, it appears.
Dan the Tutor's website (He posts some problems and solutions here, and more useful links here). Dan used to run some popular review sessions at UBC, the material for which he now posts online. This is getting dated though.
Software and Hardware
If you want to go digital (which has lots of advantages once you get used to it), I recommend OneNote, Anki, and a Wacom Tablet.
Books
"So Good they Can't Ignore You" - how to have a career you love (through mastery, autonomy and meaning). It's written by academic Cal Newport, who also writes books on how to do well in university! Free sample on Kindle.
Free Tutoring
From the Mathematics Department, LSK 301 and 302
You may find that these tutors have more time when it is not midterm or finals seasons - I was previously a tutor for the math department, and things got pretty busy during midterm season! Also, while they can help you resolve some difficulties while you are studying, in general these tutors won't be able to give you extensive one-on-one help, if this is what you need.
Finding a Private Tutor
You have of course found one private tutor. Here are some more options:
Helpouts - for online help
Posters around campus - Especially in the Math building, Math Annex, and outside LSK 301
Varsity tutors - Fellow tutors that I collaborate with. None currently active
Peer tutors - Strong current and former students that I support in helping other students. None currently active
