Many parents today employ private tutors to teach their children school hours. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Many
children
 are struggling at school.
Therefore
, parents employ private tutors to help their
children
 get their grades up. In my perspective, I deem it beneficial and believe it can generate positive outcomes
such
 as profound experience and deep education.
However
, there can be some detrimental outcomes as well, which
this
 essay will highlight.
Firstly
, face-to-face learning may increase the attention given to a
child
.
This
 may improve the competence of a
child
 to learn.
However
,
children
 should by themselves be competent enough to learn certain skills,
such
 as biology, science and physics. A tutor should,
therefore
, not be a requirement.
Hence
, those individuals who have mastered the ability to learn, are
subsequently
 more likely to be promoted during a later stage of life.
By contrast
, It may be striking to a young
child
 to be educated alone. Schools are one of the most important places where
children
 can interact with each other. Schools are not only important to increase
children
’s knowledge, but
also
 to be a playground where they can work on their social skills. Having private teachers may increase the knowledge of a
child
, but can
also
 impair social skills.
Additionally
,
this
 may result in mental deprivation or even depression. In conclusion, I can see the benefits of
children
 being taught by a private tutor,
however
, there are
also
 some downsides. Namely, it may impair the ability of a
child
 to learn and it may even result
into

 more drastic mental disorders.
Thus
, not only should parents take both effects into account, but
also
 should they tend to meet their consequences.

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
