National Education > Tuition Advice
Am I an idiot?
Master:
I feel the same. I have tuition and piano. But I don't think you need to have tutors for all your subjects. Only for the ones you aren't doing as well in.
danielf:
Here is another suggestion:
Get tutors that tutor more than one of the subjects you study. Maximise driving efficiency.
As for staying focused in class. I had the very same problem. BUT I found that when I did the material at home before the class did, I was really switched on in class. I knew what was going on. THEN is when a good private school teacher comes into play. Because they teach little things that can come in really useful. If you havn't already covered the material, you'll miss those little things.
So yeah, make sure your tutors are well ahead of the class. It will help incredibly.

Inefficient use of time, restricting your thinking/self exploration etc, etc.
kyzoo:
There are times when you need help, there are times when you should think for yourself. When you need to think for yourself, it's a waste of time to seek help, and visa versa. Tutors mostly impair your ability to think for yourself.
That being said, I'm not denouncing seeking help from others, I've been guilty this year of trying to figure out everything by myself and not seeking enough help - too individual.
So the key is balance, and both activities are equally essential. It's just that relying too much on tutors enacts an imbalance.
