I'm late, aren't I? I'm almost about to finish, my time in the system is just about over, so this thread really ain't about me at all.
But first, some context. What do you when your own Methods teacher tells you to get a tutor to help you 'understand the content more', but you and your parents stubbornly refuse on the basis that a) you're not completely hopeless in the subject, b) surely there are peers who can help me for free, c) ATARNotes and other free resources exist, hello? d) Quite costly, and e) I'm nearly finished anyway, so what's the point?
I've never received real-life tutoring before. And I intend to keep it that way. It's just my fear of asking the Spesh students for help (they are my Methods peers) as they have their own lives and whatnot. I don't want my parents to have to go through the expenditure of a tutor. And personally, I don't think it's worth getting tutoring to marginally raise my four-digit number that will only matter for the first year out of Year 12 anyway (correct me if I'm wrong, please!)
So, to you out there who have received any kind of VCE tuition in the past, what did you find to be the pros and cons of it? This is to help those in younger years to make some sort of decision. My VCE journey is beginning to reach the pointier end, but some of yours have just begun!
