Just out of curiosity, how much is tutoring helpful exactly? Because I've never had tutoring, but everyone else seems to be doing it...I feel like I should be doing it for Year 12 now.
Just going to make an entrance here, hope you guys don't mind
Tutoring isn't a necessity, but it's
definitely helpful. I got a tutor this year for English, and I can safely say my study score predictions went from a ~40 last year to ~45 right now, and maybe still climbing! (hopefully). Disclaimer: I did get the best English teacher so that's a huge factor as well.
Defs no need for tutoring. Okay, if you land a great tutor, I'm sure it would be helpful; but there's no need, unless you're really struggling or have hopeless teachers and need some motivation. (Never had one in my life; neither did Lauren, for instance, yet she got a 50 + full marked exam + premier's award in Eng). I always reckon it's more satisfying to feel that you scored your score, not your tutor.
Getting Lauren as your tutor has wonderful perks.
You don't need it, if you have a good work ethic this will more than make up for it.
What I find (speaking entirely from anecdotal experience here) is that students go to to tutor use it to compensate for the fact they don't study enough in their own time. You really don't need it if you're a committed student.
Seriously, save your money.
Sometimes tutors do save the time that you so desperately need, especially in high-stress periods. With resources, tutors can give you certain resources and methods of approaching different tasks that are unique and devastatingly effective.
You can be as committed as you want sometimes, but not getting the results that you need. A tutor can be what you need. (emphasis on the can, a lot is still down to the student).
I don't feel that commitment and getting tutored are mutually exclusive but I can see how it can work like that
I have a tutor for methods and chem this year, but I can say that the difference between a good one and a bad one is astronomical.
I was an A student (10-20 in the year) for both mm and chemistry
granted I put in more work for methods but still in excess of an hour for chem per day
now?
methods: top 3
chem: same thing. Like 20 something right now
if you are going to get one I highly advise you try them out for a period and stop if they're not conducive to your grades
could not regret more getting this chem tutor
I don't think you have to place all the blame on the tutor. Maybe his teaching styles don't cater to your needs and perhaps you should've changed earlier on. Sticking with the tutor isn't necessarily his/her fault when it doesn't work for you, maybe try communicating? (I'm making quite a lot of assumptions here and i apologise if you've tried these steps before)
