If a school offers low tuition prices, it means that it is saving money on something. And this will inevitably affect the result. Without appropriate costs, it will not be possible to provide quality services.
Here are the reasons why cheap schools don't get results:
- Saving money on teacher expertise. Instead of good teachers who know the peculiarities of age psychology and pedagogy, who are able to interest children and explain the material clearly to them, lessons in cheap schools can be taught by inexperienced teachers, yesterday's students or unprofessional tutors. They will not be able to explain the topic at the child's level of knowledge or keep the child's attention.
- Program Savings. The learning process should have goals, objectives and expected results. For example, in our program we have pre-defined knowledge, skills and abilities that each student will acquire.
- Savings on the number of employees. If one teacher leads several groups, he/she gets burned out and tired. Attention decreases, the desire to come up with interesting methods of consolidating knowledge disappears. There is not enough time for work and sleep. In addition, schools can reduce not only the number of teachers, but also other necessary staff.
- Savings on wages. Let's say a school has recruited strong, experienced teachers. If the management delays or reduces their pay, teachers may start looking for part-time work on the side. This means that the quality of lessons will suffer.
- Recruiting too large groups of students. In such situations, teachers cannot pay attention to each child. As a result, the result of learning will be much worse.
There are certainly ways to optimize costs. It is possible and necessary to make tuition fees cheaper. But saving money on what is really important always has a deplorable result. We know this because parents often come to us after such situations and share their pain.
