I'm 19 years old and was a straight A student in all subjects except math.

Now that I'm graduated and trying to get my life on track I'm suffering for my lack of comprehension. I struggle with simple arithmetic. My boyfriend is trying to help teach me but its extremely embarrassing and demoralizing to know his 6 year old sister understands more than me.

I don't know what to do. When I have time I go through Khan academy and practice on there but I feel like there's no improvement and nothing really sticks.

Next week I'm starting a new job in an office filing taxes and going through paperwork. I need this job but I'm extremely nervous considering my deficiency in math.

I don't want to go through life forever dependent on a calculator and other people. Do you have any suggestions for me? Is there anyway I can re-teach myself?
