Do practicing school teachers make good tutors?
Although school teachers have the best possible qualifications and experience to work as private tutors, they may not always make the best private tutors. Some teachers can be responsible for teaching as many as 200 students each day. They are required to prepare all of their school lessons in advance and have unrealistic administrative burdens placed on them. This means it is not always possible for a school teacher to have time to prepare thoroughly for any private teaching they do at the end of their challenging school day. Obviously experiences vary widely from teacher to teacher and depend on whether the teacher is full or part time.
