Tutoring a New Normal

It's not piano lessons or dance classes.Nowadays,the biggest extracurricular activity in the West is going to a tutor.“I spend about800[Canadian]dollars a month on tutors.It’s costly,”says Pat,a mother in Canada.However,she adds,“After finding out half my daughter’s class had tutors,I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.”

Shelley,a mother of three,also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home.“When I used to sit down with my children,it was hard to get them focused.I was always yelling.When I got a tutor once a week,they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.”
