Some students attend tutorial course because they hope to understand what the have not grasped in their regular classes. At the regular classes teachers are facing about 20 to 40 students, the teachers might not take care of all students. The courses provide them a chance to review and learn again.
For some students with higher abilities, the hope to get tips and exam shills from the tutorial lessons. Tutors would analyze past exams’ tend and teach answering skills. It may help the students better public exam results.
Also, different teachers have different teaching styles. Students can learn different presentations and expressions from the tutors. Most students who sign up tutorials are poor learners who always find lessons boring. A good-looking and funny tutor may draw the students’ attention.
Although there are many proofs showing that tutorial centers can help the students in some ways, many adverse effects are overlooked.
Taking a tutorial course needs money. If the students can handle well for their studies, taking a tutorial course may not a necessary. The can spend their time and money for other aspects, such as extra-curricular activities which may be more valuable for them. It is also important for the students to make balance between academic and self-development.
Student thinks if they attend tutorial courses, they have an excuse for not attending regular classes. It is totally a misconception. Students should not only rely on tutorial centers. Some tutors might direct wrong ways to the students studying. The might teach students to recite sentences that used in the exam. What’s worse is that the students don not even know the true meaning of it.
All in all, tutorial course may be useful for someone but not for all. Students must have considered thoroughly before joining this kinds of courses. Enrolling tutorial centers, has become a trend as students and parents still see the public exams most important in order to get into the university. We hope this attitude will change the reforming education can focus more on critical thinking, rather then rote-learning
