Does my child need extra tuition?

The question “does my child need extra tuition?” crosses the minds of many parents at some time I am sure. I didn’t have any private tuition as a child as my mother couldn’t afford it. If I needed any extra help with subjects I was studying I could have asked to join after school clubs for some extra tuition but that always seemed to be a little embarrassing as it became public knowledge very quickly amongst my peers that I couldn’t cope. Plus the tutors would be my teachers and should the problem be with one of them and their tutoring style am I really addressing the issue? So now I am faced with the question myself. If my child does need extra tuition do I go to private tutoring or do I go through the school?
