The Value of Tutoring
Research supports the value of tutoring. A 1990 study showed that "research suggests that if underprepared students receive enough tutoring regularly and obtain tutoring ealy enough they will earn higher grades than students with equivalent ability who are not tutored," and that they "remained in college longer than comparable students who were not tutored." [Refer - 1 below]
An earlier study had showed the same: "Tutored students outperformed control students on examinations, and they also developed positive attitude toward the subject matter covered in the tutorial programs." [Refer - 2 below]
