My name is Sam, and I am currently finishing my PhD in education. My dissertation is on the British Education system, specifically in London. Being American, I have been shocked by the amount of private tuition that occurs in the UK?there is nothing like this back home!
I recently read a study that claimed almost half of English students get tutored at some point in their school career! Is this the kind of mass market you all have seen as parents? Do your children receive private tutoring?
Do schools advertise private tuition companies? Or is private tuition seen a failing in a child?s intelligence?
I appreciate all of your responses in advance.
