The Influence of School on Private Tutoring Usage

Vol.24,No.1(2019)
Studia paedagogica

Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify those factors related to school (and the activities of its employees) that previous empirical research has shown to be in correlation with the stimulation or attenuation of demand for private supplementary tutoring and to describe the mechanisms of their influence. Drawing from an analysis of the available empirical evidence, the study identifies the following variables: teacher behaviour (especially encouraging students to take private tutoring), school/instruction quality, the implemented curriculum, class size, the availability of fee-free tutoring, partnerships between schools and private tutors, tracking and the socioeconomic position of students, and contextual characteristics of the school. The result of the study is a schematic diagram which systematizes the identified factors with regard to how much they can be influenced by the school (or teachers) and how (in)direct their influence is on the decision to use private tutoring.
