(So finding an answer to the question above is probably going to be a challenge, but I'd appreciate any help at all!) A lot of times I'll either understand the concept behind it but not be able to do the problem, or be able to do the problem but have no clue how I got to the answer. But with integration, it's both, so it's hard to even ask my teacher specific questions because I don't know quite how to word them.

I've read all the replies to this thread so far, and I think they all sound excellent, but they all make a few basic assumptions about the level of knowledge you currently have with regards to Calculus. Based on what you've said, I assume that you're at a very early stage, and the best thing I could suggest at that level would be private tutoring from someone who knows what they're doing and has some good tutoring experience (i.e. being able to pick up on your problems whether or not you describe them well and being able to help you based on what they pick up). I used to do a fair bit of tutoring myself, and I would be willing to tutor you to the limits of my knowledge, but that, of course, would assume a fair bit of time chatting or emailing back and forth. Anyway, take a good look at the links gremlinn posted and the rough synopsis by Matthew, but if those are beyond your current level, try to track down a good tutor.
