I'm having difficulty with the word problems (work, distance etc.) some are straightforward but others I am quite challenged by.

I'm just wondering if there are any good books/web sites that can help with this technique. I don't have a strong mathematical background, would a tutor help? Just trying to find resources that can help with math, I guess...any feedback would be great.

Tutor would definitely help. I find personal coaching to be far more effective than a book when trying to learn GMAT math problems. I am totally biased here, but you could also see a definite benefit from a Veritas Prep course. Veritas is unique in that it allows you to take the math-only portion of the course which saves costs. Good luck.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
