National Education > Tuition Advice
Am I an idiot?

Don't rely on your tutor to spoon feed you, instead, drive the sessions yourself. Look over the material before you go, create questions which will increase the productivity of your session, as well as show you how much help you really need -- if it is minimal, maybe just ask your questions here, on VN.
Be active, in doing this you have the benefits of BOTH independent learning and personal instruction. If you have good teachers, you can do this with them, if not, then maybe a tutor is best.

Its up to you, if it helps do it, if not you can always try and study hard yourself.
Also I dont think you really need a tutor for Accounting, you just need a lot of practice and dedication to score high.

When i say this read it carefully and really think about it, i mean it.
I know it's a cliche to say this but as long as you have tried your absolute best and put everything you had into it and i mean everything, you cant be at fault and you will surely succeed.
Try your hardest and honor your parents.

Not only does too great a reliance on tutoring cause an imbalance in the student's learning process (less independent thought/more spoonfeeding), but in my experience, also an "imbalance" of sorts in the student's study time. If you are being tutored in every subject, how much control do you have over when you study and what you study? Having a tutor is helpful in some respects, but only you can know how much time you need to study for each individual subject - or when the concepts have "clicked." I fear that, with tutoring, comes the danger that you spend all your time being tutored, rather than learning. For better or worse, I have found that the "aha!" moments that are so crucial to learning have only ever occurred in my own, private study time, usually at around 2 AM :D.
Tutoring shouldn't be such a huge time commitment that it robs you of control over your learning process.

Agree with the sentiment that you cannot get too over reliant with tutoring. The objective of a tutor is to guide and steer you in the right direction, you still have to do all the walking.
