Spoonfeed me please! Why do I need another english school teacher and someone I have to pay extra for too!

The whole point of tutoring is to get spoonfed for english. Hate how the tutors don't spoonfeed you and teach you like they're some highschool teacher

Hello again!

Thats not true, private ones don't always spoon feed. Trust me, I'll know. Some of them believe in, I'm private tutoring you to "inspire" you to work hard at home

the texts have also been read by everyone else.. there isnt much more you can say which is being a total individual from others

I'd get annoyed with a teacher that doesnt want to teach me anything.

if you're referring to what sportsgal said, i don't think it's a case of him not wanting to teach them anything at all. it may just be his STYLE of teaching that is different, and i personally would prefer a teacher who makes me do the work, rather than them doing it for me. they won't be sitting next to me during the exams, whispering the answers to me.

A small rabbit hole....
I think i can say from experience that it depends on the student as to whether an English Tutor is helpful or not. The problem with english is that its so ... iffy. Theres no real set answers to the questions proposed. And as to learning it, people learn in different ways and that affects learning english greatly because of the broadness of it. To me english tutor is useless, I learn better just by doing it myself, however for some other people it might be useful.

What people don't realise is, English tutors help you write better *well, they're suppose to do that* Teachers at school cannot give you the attention you need if your writing sucks
