Should students attend academic tutoring centers?

ITT – The Ministry of Education has gradually upgraded curriculum with update on methods of teaching and learning in accordance with integrated programs (learning Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in English). This is the reason why students cannot perceive knowledge promptly at their classes. Therefore, many parents and students decide to attend academic tutoring centers as a solution for this issue.

Both international curriculum and integrated curriculum require teachers have outstanding English skills and degree in pedagogy for scientific subjects, so as to transmit accurate knowledge in English to students. If not, students would understand wrongly and have difficulties to perceive lessons. Therefore, a lot of people choose to attend academic tutoring center in order to be taught by native teachers according to international educational methods. This would not only help students to obtain knowledge as well as scientific terminologies promptly, but also provide opportunities for them to practice listening and speaking skills with native speakers.

Nowadays, a lot of academic tutoring centers are founded in order to meet this new social demand. However, many of these cannot fulfil commitments they have made. In fact, when attending these academies, students is totally taught by Vietnamese teachers and rarely have chances to practice with native teachers. Moreover, these native people are just only tourists, who are hired for teaching positions with low salaries without any specific degree on pedagogy. This results in an issue that a lot of academies may just concentrate on teaching English instead of subjects in English.

Even though it is beneficial to attend academic tutoring centers, parents and students should consider and do research carefully before making any decisions in order to avoid wasting time and money.
