Wow - saved heaps in maths this term. For your case so far, was $1000 better than $300 maths?

You are saving heaps for maths this term. In your case so far, do you feel the $1000 was better than your $300 maths? May be the new one is 1-on-1 and perhaps this suits you better.

I spend around $75 a week for maths, $60 for english, so $135 a week, and x10 gives $1,350 a term..
pretty good

 

[lil_pembo]

$20 per half hour. He does chem and bio one on one at my house. Usually goes for 90 minutes. so approx $600 a term for 2 subjects... pretty good i reckon

 

[tearsdontfall]

$20 for 1h 45 minutes Chem tutoring... $200/term - hopefully I won't go for anything else

My 1k tutor was a class of about 30 students, and she gave heaps of work. She made us do a chapter of fitz, maths in focus, coroneos, jones and couchman, cambridge, past HSC questions and past papers every week. I simply couldn't keep up with her work as well as my school work, so I got a new tutor. This one is 1-on-1 and she gives much less work
She explains it well, but i'm worried she isn't covering everything as extensively as my other tutor. Like, with my other tutor, I knew we covered everything. My new tutor uses maths in focus to teach me :/
I've heard from so many people that maths in focus is a bad textbook as the questions aren't easy or challenging or something along those lines :/
She's a high school teacher and a HSC marker apparently. She said she's been marking for like 10 years or something, so based on that, i'm assuming she knows her stuff...

I guess i'll have to see how my grades are when school starts again. But I guess less homework could mean more time for me to self study, right?

Lol but during that extra time for self study, you're going to want to do more hw anyway for practice, unless that amount of hw she gives allows you to understand everything.

1.2k is so much money, i don't get tutored

yeah less homework can mean more self study time, so make the best use of it
and judging from your tutor, I guess she's the sort of person who prefers to assess how well a student knows something, as opposed to giving so many challenges to screw students over. ie She probably has more experience in assessing what the student knows.

and I have a private tutor for english

$55 per week for 2.5 hours ext 2 maths, so 550 a term? Pretty good, I think.

 

[suling]

I spent $0 on tutoring...except $100 for two sessions of maths in year 10. Too expensive for me.

 

[Zeroes]

^I wish I spent $0 on tutoring, tbh I don't think I need it. :\
(and a lot of people who get it probably don't)
