A new kind of tutor

Stephen Morse

Why is it that Asian nations are so far ahead of us in technology and ideas?

They brought us the Toyota Prius and the Nintendo
Wii. But, their progressive stance on tutoring is really making me want to take a vacation to Asia this summer.

Many of us have had tutors at some point in our lives. I admittedly had them for the SATs and for math class in 8th grade. However, they were all middle-aged men. In the day and age where people will pay anything — anything – to get their kids into a good school, you’d think the trend of hiring physically attractive (and smart) teachers of both genders would have caught on by now to give kids some incentive to get reach for the stars.

    maybe it’s the requisite pencil pouch with stupid cartoon characters on it that gives them all the ideas?
