jeez. maths and private maths tutor? how many hours are you doing?
Lawlz, I'm trying to see which one's better at this stage.
At the moment, I really like the class tutoring but the downside is that there is homework =.=.
There's 3 hours at Matrix and 1 hour for private.

How about you?

9 hrs and 30 mins per week. It gets really hectic during exam time.

lol are you a millionare, who gets tutoring for all the subjects , you are really after the 99.95ATAR. Yes tutoring for one subject is definately understandable, 2subjects maybe , but all your subjects? Thats pretty desperate in my opinion.

lol lets assume $40/hr ( pretty reasonable I think ) so thats $380/wk ! LOL

why would you need tutoring on economics and legal studies ? economics is sort of understandable since the concept could be hard for some person. but legal?

and i feel that 11:30 hrs of tutoring is excessive too.

Unless it is a massive class type thing which there is no point going to anyway.
have you been to tutoring college before? some teachers are really good and they could teach as good as the private tutors.

tutoring colleges are just soulless , money ( and mark ) making factories.

90% of the people that go there dont need help.
