The private tuition market in the UK is estimated to be worth six billion pounds, with one in four children tutored at some point. Is this so-called tiger parenting, imported from cultures where children are expected to work long hours to get into top schools? Or is it just parents doing what they can to ensure a good life for their children? Today we're asking if you've employed a private tutor. Have you paid somebody to get your child into a particular school or to give them the edge in exams? How did it work out? Are you somebody who provides these extra-curricular classes? Do the children you teach thrill to the idea of extra tuition after school? Or are you somebody who was forced into extra tuition as a child and hated every minute of it, even if it got you into the right school.
