Summary:
The article examines the private tutoring centers in Turkey and compares student academic success with certain tutoring centers. Students come from all social economic statuses and different racial backgrounds. According to the article, students who "received private tutoring with the students who did not did not" were likely not to succeed in standardized academically.As noted in the article, students who did not receive private tutoring had a mean of –0.45, while students who did receive private tutoring had a mean of 0.31. As a result, private tutoring can be quite beneficial to some but it depends on family social and economical status. The article concludes that there needs to be more research done to fully understand how tutoring centers can close the gap in our schools.
Reflection:
I disagree with the article. I believe that school need tutoring centers to help students pass the standardized tests. Thea Bowman Leadership Academy had another budget cut and as a result, students were left with no tutoring centers that actually helped. I don't feel agree with the article. Just because the research did not have enough evidence linked to the success of tutoring centers, it does not mean that the tutoring centers are not effective. I noticed that tutoring centers often help students build confidence to learn effectively and rapidly.
