University students pursuing private tuition classes for additional income
by Leesa J. Creative Writer & Academic TutorPrivate tuition
is one of the few industries which are growing rapidly and at an average rate
of 7% per annum. With time and advancement of information technology the way of
providing tuition has also been changed drastically and now the private tuition
market is gradually becoming an organised one in which some global players have
already set their foot and others are entering. The customers of this service
industry include not only the students at various levels but also the
professionals who resort to the experts for upgrading their understanding of
subjects so as to increase their competitive edge in professional field.
Who will be
providing service largely depends upon the choice of the parents of students
seeking private tutors or on the students who are above the undergraduate
level. The study shows that most of the parents, whose children are studying at
lower class, like to have the private tutors from two groups of people viz. the
school teachers or the graduates, postgraduates or students from a reputed
university. The choice depends upon the objective for hiring the private
tutors. Usually school teachers are hired for maintaining a good grade in the
subjects as, it is believed that, the teachers are better equipped with the
school syllabus than a university student. The university students are hired
because of many reasons. The parents believe that less the generation gap in
between the student and teacher, the better will be the understanding in
between them. Apart from this the parents who want to develop the conceptual
base of their children along with grade also believe in appointing a good
university student. Another important part is university students, being young
and being a student, believed to have the most recent development in the
subject matter for which they are being appointed. Moreover, the school
teachers are already employed and enjoy a certain kind of upper hand being the
teachers of the school in which their students are reading. The parents are
afraid of making any queries about the standard of teaching in their private
tuition as well as about the time spent behind each student taking the tuition
from the teacher. That is not the case for a university student. They devote
more time and they have an eagerness to prove themselves as a good teacher in
the market, as that will ensure a continuous flow of fund to support their
additional expenses and sometime even the basic needs of life and
education.
On this backdrop,
the university students, now a day, are in high demand in the private tuition
market and in developing nations you will find almost all the university
students are engaged in private tuition, as it provides a lucrative source of
additional income to them. The same is true for the developed nations also,
where the tutorial homes have a large number of university students registered
as teachers in their payroll. The payment is far better in comparison to the
other jobs which could be resorted to for additional income. In fact in UK the
average payment ranges from 22-25 GBP per hour which is far better than the
payment offered by other profession to the students. The way they provide is
largely one to one or sometimes, for a tutor who has gained reputation, one to
many. However, the on-line tuition is gradually becoming the hot favourite for
both the students and private tutors, especially the university students, because
of many reasons. One is of course the university students can now reach to the
students of any country which has widened their scope from a mere local to
global market. The university students are enlisting them as a part time tutor
in the on line tutoring companies and are earning handsome amount which, in
most of the time, is far more than their requirement. The world wide private tuition market is now
being pursued by the university students not only as a source of additional
income, but also to sustain the costly education, they themselves are following
for a bright future. In many developing nations private tuition is the only
source of income for many university students to sustain their life as well as
their education.
