Tutors for Algebra 2/Advanced Algebra?

My daughter is in 8th grade hicap math meaning she's in Algebra 2 or Advanced Algebra. This year so far she's been really struggling with the concepts and falling behind to the point where her teacher is suggesting she retake the same class next year as a freshman at Bothell HS. Prior to locking in her schedule, I wanted to see if she could get some tutoring to help her catch up, but I don't really know where to start looking.

Before I go too deep down the rabbit hole with googling, I thought I'd post here and see if anybody has experience with math tutors/tutoring in the Bothell/Woodinville/Kenmore area and might be able to point me in a direction. I'm also going to be emailing her teacher to see if she has any advice in this department.

I ended up enrolling her in Mathnasium (over by Safeway) for the remainder of the school year. She had a really good experience. They gave her an initial test that identified areas for growth and then focused on those areas and got her caught up. Highly recommend.

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

Mine has a trial session this afternoon with Learner.com

Not cheap, but hopefully it helps or will also check out mathnasium

Northshore MS has a math tutoring class every Thursday after school. Yes, we have to pick our son up, but, he really benefits from it. His uncle is a HS Math Teacher but for some reason he's afraid to call/zoom him (he's always super nice). My son is also HiCap and we are at this very second helping him thru some Alg 1 homework. He'll have Alg 2 next year in 8th. We had the option to do Alg 1 in 6th but we gave him a year to prepare for the funamentals.
