just outta curiosity, what english tutor was that?
I didn't say "THAT gud".
I mean if you're already achieving like 90%+, you won't be able to see much of a change even if you get a tutor. You will still run into problems, need explanations for certain things and get stuck on questions so you can still get a tutor. It's only when you performing badly ( C's) that a tutor would really help improve your grades.

Not true. There's different levels of tutoring. For example, Dr. He in Box Hill only accepts students that pass a pretty difficult maths test, but he definitely is able to improve someone from like a 90% level to higher than that. I had a similar thing with English where I was chucked into a high level class and the tutor spent all year on fine tuning minor things.

Well i only had proper tutoring for chemistry, but i believe indubitably that it was beneficial. I was already pretty able in chemistry, (with two A+ sacs behind me) but my tutor helped me minimize the effort required to reach that A+ level. He also taught me a gazillion shortcuts to minimize working out (Most the time i could calculate the pH off two mixtures in my head :). But then again my chem tutor was absolutely brilliant!!

It is not always about how much work, but rather how smart you are about doing that work. With a tutor you can save valuable time that could be spent doing something else, that is smart!

I never did one-on-one tutoring, but I went to Jacks for Methods and I found it boring =(
