The Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Tutoring
A recent investigation shows that about 80
Private tutoring is “in”.
percent of pupils have private tutors. While private tutoring has both
advantages and disadvantages, I feel that we should give more thoughts to
its negative effects.
Such a popular practice clearly indicates that people are attaching
greater importance to education. Many parents either missed the chance
of obtaining a good education themselves or have been too busy with
their own business. When their children meet with difficulties in study,
they are helpless. Private tutoring seems to be the only solution. As
private tutoring is usually given on the one-to-one basis, the teacher
knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil; and
teaching is, in most cases, directly to the point. Private tutoring benefits a
lot of pupils, indeed.
While on the other hand, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.
rdly
For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupil’s time that they can ha find enough time for rest or entertainment, which is essential for kids’
physical and mental health. Besides, some teachers, busy “shuttling one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What
is more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well on the test,
offering the so-called tips for test-taking instead of helping them acquire
what is most needed.
Generally speaking, for private tutoring the disadvantages o utweigh
the advantages. G reater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching
and regular practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the
tapping of the pupil ’s potentialities. As educators, teachers ’
foremost responsibility is to encourage pupils to be curious about what is around
the bend, over the horizon, and to show them the doors to knowledge are
always wide open.

Reference:
Self-confidence is, without doubt, the most important factor for success in
school or at works.
The importance of self-confidence is self-evident. If we don’t feel
self-confident about our ability, we will not be able to take up a task and
get it done. If we don’t have confidence in our competence, we won courageous enough to face up to a challenge. Only when we think we are
capable of doing something, will we be able to succeed in doing that.
Self-confidence is different from complacency. It is solidly based on our
knowledge, judgment, abilities and skills. To develop it takes years of
learning and to consolidate it needs years of practicing. Self-confidence
means more than mental preparedness. I t serves as an indication of
professional readiness. It is also an expression of intellectual maturity.
As we all know, many great people emphasize the crucial role of
self-confidence as “the first requisite to great undertakings.” Dr. Wil A. Nolen, a well-known American surgeon, believes it it self-confidence
that makes a good surgeon. Walt Disney, the well-known American
cartoonist, describes self-confidence as “the greatest of all secrets of
making dreams come true.”
With self-confidence, we are able to firmly take each step in our journey
of life and it is self-confidence that has been paving the way to the
ultimate goal of our professional careers.
