It is sometimes argued among parents that sending
students
 to private tuition, is a good choice to boost their children's knowledge,
whereas
 others believe it to be the opposite. Both sides have valid reasons for them and I will be discussing them in my essay.
To begin
 with, the pros of extra classes are numerous.
Firstly
,
students
 won't be studying alone as they will be around a tutor to help them out during a problem and,
this
 will assure the guardians that the teenager is not messing around, but giving extra concentration on the academic side.
Secondly
, apart from school lessons,
students

On the contrary

 money.
Also
, studying outside school hours could make them feel swamped and they will get less
time
 to play outdoors.
Additionally
,
this
 could become a family pressure if, a child is made to take extra classes to become the top of the class. In my opinion, extra lessons are not required if a student is already enrolled on the subject in school.
This
 would make them redo the same topics over and over and some
students
 might get irritated and
this
 could bring anger to them
not to mention
 stress.
For instance
, if a student is under pressure and is made to aim for the first prize, he could

To conclude

 private tuition is fruitful to a graduate's life or if it is disadvantaging to him.
However
, the second case has more weight than the first.

task response
Ensure that your essay fully addresses all parts of the task. You should present a clear position throughout the response.
coherence and cohesion
Work on the organization and linking of ideas. Make sure that your introduction and conclusion thoroughly present the topic and the writer's opinion.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
