Highly recommended
This video does a good job of taking you through the logic of translating a word problem into a solvable equation. A bit amatuerish in places, it teaches strategies to address a wide variety of real life math scenarios.

Jason Gibson's math videos
Jason Gibson is a master at teaching complex subject matter in a manner that the most challenged student can appreciate. I love his entire series. I use his series for SAT, GACE, PRAXIS, PSAT, end of course and exit exam reviews. He is an excellent teacher.
I bought his entire series for my high school advanced math students, and my grandchildren.

Great video!
I'm a thirty year old husband and father that decided to go to college. My only drawback so far has been algebra. I thought I was just a lost cause, but these videos have helped me understand what was once Greek to me. Jason Gibson holds your hand through these videos and calms you down just before you start to freak out. He warns you when a big word comes up and calms your fears by breaking it down into simplistic terms that anyone can understand.
I once thought I wasn't a "math person", which is a silly thought. Imagine all the illiterate people there would be if you could give up on learning to read by saying I guess I'm just not a "reading" person. Give these videos a chance and once he explains it all to you theres a chance you'll discover you were actually a "math person" all along.

Perfect
I have not gotten very far with this yet but so far it is very good. This teacher is much more understandable that other tutors that I have had.
