For those of you have tutoring what would you usually do? Go over questions you don't understand, start new material, review material or whatever? :)
Just curious! :)
Oh and how often, and for what subject?
:D

Yeah I actually think it's worth it, I'm not a strong student so personally it's a huge benefit but I guess that's just me :P

I just go to 1 hour/week for english (tutoring-wise, that is).

We study structure of LA, ways to approach different forms of writing and the novels (no context yet)

4 hours, english, maths, chem. all seperate.


Having said that, they are only there to reinforce my understanding, all the grit work is on me, and considering my year 12 english teacher is proving to be a horrible teacher, I will rather have a eng tutor than not.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle
