Hey there are no more playgrounds around, there is only so much time you can spend watching TV an playing games when you are out of school.

At some point of time the parent is going to snap, knowing the stuff he/she is teaching you is actually pretty useless in life and on top of that you aren't paying atention since you too find it boring or else you would have learnt it the first time it was taught in school, At some point the parent is going break the broom and use it as a stick to use it as a cane. Isnt going to Tuition a better idea? Atleast I think so
When the teacher knows you are going to tuiton a load is taken off of their shoulders and they can spend more time applying the nail polish
Plus it helps in trickle down economics of the nation when the tuition teacher gets paid
See everybody wins by going to tuitions, well you didnt learn anything new but you atleast didnt get beaten up😉

Go for it if it's Math. I suck at Math too though my Math teacher is good enough. 🤓

I study everything on my own but Math. These days, I don't have a tutor and henceforth, I don't even do my Math homework. Actually I don't even touch the textbook because I know it would crack me up.

Every time, my percentage's spoiled from a perfect 90 to 75 due to my exceptionally BAD Math.

Choose tuition under some or all of the following conditions

- Your teacher is really not teaching well

- Your teacher is not really helpful in answering questions and explaining difficult concepts.

- You are unable to study alone or with a group and learn on your own.

- Your grades reflect that you are not doing well in the subject, and all it needs for improvement is additional training.

Choose tuition wisely. Many teachers intentionally don't cover material well in class encouraging students to join their after school classes. Many are overcrowded where you still won't get individual attention or get help with the material you need. Many don't really teach or help but just give you lot of problems/tests etc and make you cram. Choose a tuition teacher whose class sizes are relatively small and offers good training and one on one help. It is not necessary that they be a qualified teacher, but a good teacher. Sometimes people with teaching degrees are crap at teaching, but some non teachers can be surprisingly really good at explaining a subject.

Personally, I'm against the large classes especially for board exams or standardized tests. I've always studied on my own and don't think you need anything beyond the right books. (I did bomb SSC & HSC big time though, but ten years down the road I'm in a good B-school) But it's a choice you have to make and decide if you need it and it is worth the cost. There's also sparknotes and all sorts of online resources. I actually read Wikipedia to understand probability problems.

Thankyou so much.Actually I dont even like the idea of taking tutions,and our teacher in class well he tries to teach but the students dont listen to him,since most of them take tuitions,I will try to sit on the first bench in his class and sincerly try to listen...

I took tuitions for like 3 months in my entire schooling life, I guess.. and I completely hated it, infact, I scored less than I usually do..
I have always been studying on my own, I guess when one spends the time and everything on the subject, without anybody's help, and try to learn things by themselves, they tend to retain it in their memory lane for a longer time. I dunno if this is true with everyone, but I tend to remember things once I learn them on my own..(ofcourse you'll listen to the classes at school)
Plus, I feel tuitions eat up my time. Instead of getting the same thing repeated by another teacher and then again revising it later, I prefer studying the content on my own. Like that, I'll study the subject, get it self-explained in 'my way' and thus, I feel it saves time. And when I'm unable to solve something, I ask the respective teachers' help or take the help of school library.
But yes, it does get tough when you cannot comprehend to the teacher's explainations, or her inability to answer to you're doubts.. :)

The tutions help those kids who do not practice much maths on their own. Due to tutions they will be have to do extra assignments and thus more written work which they might not have done otherwise.

Jab main school mein tha tab tuition lene waale ko weak student samjha jaata tha, aajkal ulta hai. 😆

I personally do not think that taking tuition is necessary in order to do well academically.
