Read the excerpt from June’s note to her teacher asking for tutoring. I know you are busy, but I think math stinks, and I was hoping you could tutor me after school for a couple of weeks. Which is the best revision of the underlined portion of the sentence?

“I need extra help in math” explains why June is asking for tutoring while keeping the note respectful and appropriate for a teacher. “Math stinks,” “I hate math,” and “math is hard and annoying” sound negative or informal, so they are less suitable.
