Subject: blind college student needing suggestions for teacher for Algebra

If any of you have ever worked with a blind student teaching College 
Algebra I would appreciate your advice and tips.  I am a college student 
who is blind.  Often mathematical concepts are hard for me as they are 
very visual. Teachers often rely on overheads and say things like "If I 
take 2 away from this, and then add 2 here, we can see x will equal 6" I 
don't see, and that is the problem.  The college I attend says they can 
provide me with a notetaker, but then again someone will have to read me 
the notes! any help will be appreciated.
