Money spent on tuition (1 Viewer)

[babydoll_]

omg its so hard to calculate

i swapped tutors a few times, and i had my brothers helping me too so yeah i cant vouch for effectiveness

 

[kimmeh]

tutor? dont even mention how much is costs.. though i do feel sorry for those that got tutored since primary just to get into selective and didnt get it.. thats a bum...
i got in without tutor

My parents spent like around $20000 for me n my sis (we're twins) for year 11 and 12, i started like term 2 year 11. It's quite a lot b'cos I have only been in Australia for about more than 3 yrs, and ofcourse when I started tutoring we had not settled very well in.

It was worth it for all subjectc,
Maths 2u/3u, English, Chem and Physics.

though i wish i did better in Physics and Chem...after the exam i thought i did well, but its kinda not good.

Well yeah, its over, and my mum and dad happy with the UAI, since i have been here for a very short time and still managed to do well

$24 for chem for maybe 20-30 weeks. The lesson to be learnt is should never of studied chemistry

I t hink the big thing is motivation... and a good teacher
I used to go to a certain place in Yagoona (not TIPPS), the teacher was funny as, and so were my classmates, but he wasn't that great so I only went for social reasons

ahh yes i jigged north shore quite a bit too
i think in the last term i probably went to 3/8 lessons
yes a waste of money... absolutely useless yet parents force you to go because they think it helps no matter what you say...

i was tutored 3U maths at northshore. i ended up dogging 3U in my UAI calculation.

north shore and i are like a couple who are forced to be in a marriage..... i fall asleep while the teacher rambles on.... north shore maths is a bit of a waste...

i spent $25 pw for physics for ~20 weeks, and my result for it was less than what i would have liked.
spent $100-150 in going to workshops and education days at unis, etc.

 

[truly-in-bliss]

i can conclude from personal experience that it is useless to go to tutoring if u dont do the work....

 

[perfectionist]

tutoring works for people like me who go to a crap school where most teachers dont teach e.g. my chem, Physics and English teahcers!

 

[clever angel]

no tutoring n i ended up getting a UAI of 95.85~~~

 

[MilfordSound]

I See the people that pay for tutoring obviously were not tutored themselves
wouldnt it be easier just to study, get a decent UIA and pay full fare to get into uni?
or better yet, just try harder

which proves once again that tutoring is a waste of money

yes, but asian parents arent exactly the brightest

 

[braindrainedAsh]

My parents probably spent about $900 approx on chem tutoring for me this year, and about $300 on study guides. And $30 on school fees lol. So not too bad. I got rank 1 in chem, only got a HSC mark of 85 though.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

i think i prbly spent bout $600 bucks on private english tutoring, but it was well worth it, considering it fully boosted my english marks, and its the only money i've spent on tutoring in my life...

 

[AGB]

tutoring is valuable only if you are actually going to do the work the tutor sets and pay attention........i know people whose parents thought they needed a tutor, so they paid $80 an hour for fancy tutors, but the boys didnt wanna do it and it ended up being a complete waste of money.......

 

[spice girl]

but then again we can't blame parents for wasting money on misguided tuition; being able to buy your kid a better mark is quite an attractive option

 

[unmentionable]

is private english tutoring really good? i mean does it really boost your marks up even though ur not really an english person?
ive always thought english tutoring was a waste of money
but now considering my english marks, i really need a tutor and my parents want me to get one too
so im just wondering if its really any help

 

[Toodulu]

errrm prob a bit less than 200 bucks. for 4u maths. just with a friend and i went to a random tutor a few times too. maybe 6 sessions all up.
anyway, maths was my worst subject by far
