He's been extremely helpful on in class stuff and things I give him. He gives me tons of papers for Physics and Extension 1 Maths.
The thing is that, I don't think that simple Math helping is justifiable for $80, even if its a private 1 on 1.
Now, with Trials, HSC coming up, is it still a good time to cancel out on him? And start going to a new tutor next year? My parents have paid a shit ton of money for this and now I seriously am considering quitting on this guy.
In the beginning where I wasn't great at Maths, he was slightly confusing but it got me through the basics. However, some stuff he isn't even completely sure of and doesn't give me the optimal way to answer the question. Often, he comes tired and doesn't seem all that helpful, unless I ask ALOT of questions which will eventually lead him to teaching me.
With $80 an hour, and also only an HOUR worth of lessons weekly, it doesn't seem right to pay that much for this guy.
Plus, he doesn't directly lead me to learning new topics, but it seems I have to guide him on what I want to do, so if I have lackluster work or no idea on the next topic, I can't actually learn much. Essentially he's only a question answerer.
I'm probably seeming obnoxious but I'd like your opinion, you guys have been great.
P.S. He has a lot of qualifications, and he travels to my house which would contribute to the fee.
