The Advantages of Taking A Tutorial Course

Education in this era becomes more challenging than it used to be. Why do I say so? Because students nowadays have higher demands to reach their realistic goals, and not to mention about the obstacles they should face. Let me take one obstacle as example which is technology. As we all know that technology has some benefits, but here I will focus on one of them which is as the entertain for people, such as games. That’s the reason why most students prefer technology to books and why most students’ academic performance become worse. Due to that, parents are sure to be worried, they will find the way how to make their children’s academic performance better. Based on the survey that I did, the first thing coming to most parents’ minds to overcome the problem is tutorial course, since it is very mushrooming nowadays, right? According to a web in internet, tutorial course is a class conducted by a tutor for one student or a small number of students and this way of study results in good effects. Taking a tutorial course causes the students to have scheduled study hours, improve their academic performance, and be goal-oriented.
            Having scheduled study hours is the first advantage of taking a tutorial course. Many students say that it is an utterly hard thing to study after school. They would play game or go to somewhere else before going home rather than study, review the lessons they just got that day, or do their homeworks. Consequently, they just study in school. However, with nowadays challenges and demands, studying only in school is not always effective, is it? Remembering how hard to get successful in the future when present education is challenging. Therefore, I can say that studying after school is needed, and tutorial course has the answer for it. Tutorial course makes the students have scheduled study hours. Having scheduled study hours definitely will make students easier to pursue their dreams. They have to get used to struggle and manage time well, which are the keys to success.
            The academic performance of students who take a tutorial course is different. It seems better indeed, proven by a research called “Private Supplementary Tutoring: Comparative Perspectives on Patterns and Implications” which was conducted by Professor Bray in Hong Kong University. The research says that “Students' academic results are improved after attending tutorial class.” Let me explain more about this. Students who take a tutorial course will get additional scores from teachers more often because they become more active in class ever since they take a tutorial course. They often raise hands to answer teacher’s questions since they have already learned the lessons first in the course. The lessons in class are understood fast by them, so when they have tests, their scores will be good and oftentimes, be the best in class. Most of the students who take a tutorial course then get the first rank and will be easier to be accepted in their favorite colleges. Therefore, improving their academic performance is the second advantage.
            The third, taking a tutorial course causes the students to be goal-oriented. Their self-confidences become higher since they know their academic potentials are good. Their frequent study and their study hours are enough to make them believe that they surely can be accepted in their favorite colleges. As a result, they enjoy studying and automatically will concentrate more while studying in order to pursue their realistic goals in the future. They focus their efforts on achieving them until they get what they want.
            All in all, taking a tutorial course has 3 advantages, which are having scheduled study hours, improving students’ academic performance, and being goal-oriented. When students’ study hours have been scheduled well, they can automatically improve their academic performance in class. At last, it can mold new good personality that is goal-oriented for students so that they can focus their efforts on achieving their realistic goals. If you want to get those advantages, then just take a tutorial course and I’ll make sure you will get them.
