I doubt it. Chances are, the average tutored student will be from a better off socio-economic background, while their parents place particular emphasis on education. Chances are, the tutored student will perform better than the "average" student.

This is indeed a problem. But then again, plagerism has always been a problem, and the perpetrator could simply copy a top student's essay.

Whether tutoring is successful will still depend on the effort/talent combination. Like a normal teacher, the concepts conveyed by the tutor must be understood, and work must be done to actually "learn" from him/her.

I like all my subjects.

The decreasing importance of correct spelling and proper grammar reflects the evolution of the medium. Let's face it - when your reading a novel or a traditional print-based text, it's gonna have gone through numerous editing stages. Likewise, shorter, informal texts such as letters, internet...

prolly not. Most students aren't taught all of what's in the syllabus I think.

As if not.. 3u is like the easiest subject to get a high scaled mark in...

I did alrite but I found it pretty hard. Hopefully 75+ if stupid mistakes are kept to a minimum. And wth Adam got under 80?? are you serious?? Ah well there goes our chances of getting a 100 uai :(:(

Isn't that how you're supposed to do it?

hahahha....
