Abstract:
As the economy progresses, parents in many families have been busier than ever. Most of them rely on tutors to monitor their child's education. This study explored the worth of having a tutor in the eyes of parents, tutees, and tutors themselves. Specifically, it answered queries on the characteristics of tutors that parents look for, the teaching strategies of the tutors they hire and why they hire tutors for their children. Further, the study also explored the characteristics that tutors see in themselves, why are they worth hiring and the teaching strategies that they usually use in tutoring. The study also included how tutees viewed their tutors as part of their aid in studying. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the key informants that included fifteen (15) parents, fifteen (15) tutors, and fifteen (15) tutees who resided in different municipalities and cities of Pampanga. A descriptive-exploratory design was utilized through a validated interview guide composed of semi-structured questions. For data gathering, interview transcripts were analyzed using the Reflexive Thematic Analysis is by Braun and Clarke (2019). In this study, seven (7) themes emerged: a) characteristics of tutors as perceived by the parents; b) characteristics of the tutors as perceived by tutor-informants; c) teaching strategies used by the tutors as perceived by the parents; d) teaching strategies used by the tutors; e) qualities of worthy tutors as perceived by the parents; f) qualities of a worthy tutor as perceived by tutor-informants; and g) relevance of tutoring on the school performance of the tutees.
