　　Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Tutoring

　　If you have a child, do you want to hirea home tutor? Do you think it necessary or do you consider it only a waste of time and money?

　　Some people think of it positively. And in practice, home tutoring may help children to make up for what they fail to learn in school. It is especially helpful to kids of those families where the parents never have good education. Besides, in many cases, it helps children to raise their academic scores.

　　Others however may think of it differently. From their point of view, home tutoring aisc has some disadvantages just as every coin has two sides. First it may impose a financial burden on parents and a heavier academic burden on children who are already under heavy pressure. Second, it may not bring about the changes parents want in their children.

　　In my opinion, if you make good use of home tutoring, you can＇t be disappointed, but if you fail to do sot you have to accept all the consequences. In a word, the point is not whether you favor home tutoring or not but how you make use of it.
