Are you planning ot get a tutor for every subject in uni?

my parents dont want me to go to a public school coz they feel i might get brought up in the wrong way. 1 of my cousins developed his smoking habits from peer-pressure and at one point he took an ecstasy tablet and had to go to hospital. Also my parents feel all good teachers primarily teach at private schools coz of the attractive salaries.

Well some private schools are cheaper than $16500.
You said you don't concentrate in class so how does it matter if the teacher is good or bad?

yeah, but what i have found is most tutors around the $30 range are mostly students with little experience in tutoring. My parents want 'teachers' to tutor me if u know what i mean. They believe teachers know how to make students understand concepts coz they do it for a living whereas a student may know the course very well but it doesn't necessarily mean they know how to teach

That's more up to you than your school or teachers. Things like tutors are helpful but not necessary, as such. Like I said in my previous post, give it some thought and you'll find any number of means to compensate. Your problems, both academically and economically, stem from your attempt to "buy" results (unfortunately, save for bribing the education department, it doesn't work this way).
And frankly, as far as I'm concerned, there's no teacher good enough to warrant paying 15-20k a year for (not willing to argue this one, just an opinion).
