Do I need to shell out extra money every month on a tuition teacher because my child needs extra attention or because my neighbor’s child also goes to a tuition teacher?

• The need for individual attention for the students which is impossible in schools with large batch sizes

• The need for extra help to complete the homework, which seems like a daunting task

• The need for extra effort and resources beyond textbooks to prepare for examination

• While these issues are understandable, the belief of tuition centers acting as a solution to these problems needs to be revisited.
