I would like to know opinions of tutors on the topic 'self-learning vs tutor-assisted learning'. There are many websites and apps which can be used to master Language topics like grammar, vocabulary, listening skills. But a student still needs help and guidance from a tutor especially for topics like spoken English. On the other hand, there are courses which are completely tutor-led. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods?

People say, its combination of both tutoring and self-learning that leads to great results. In our opinion, It is tutoring that is still the best way to go forward. Today, as you mentioned, there are millions of GBs stuff free on English speaking and everyone claims their data to be excellent. It is tutor's duty to introduce students to suitable material and guide them on how to use it. This way students are not confused by over-rated claims. Also, class-room coaching ensures consistency and discipline required to learn well. So class-rooms are equally important. read less

I believe Self-Learning is the best mode of learning provided there is sheer dedication being put by one into it. Some guidance does no harm and I think guidance should be taken as the first step before the self-learning mode by the students can finally by adopted.

A learning journey with a good tutor keeps one focused on the goal and gives (close to) desired results. Without a tutor, students may feel motivated for initial few days though, but generally loose the focus with the passage of time. Without a tutor, journey may get difficult but is not impossible.

The importance of Trainer / Tutor will always remain. Although there is a whole lot of written and AV information available, yet, a good teacher will always lead the student on the right path of achieving excellence.

A student can learn on its own but he has to put more than required energy and effort to understand and grasp the concepts. While, in a tutor based learning, things are much easier for him as he just has to understand and needs to be mentally. Here , he can ask as many questions as he wants because his role is only to ask and teacher has to answer whereas in self-learning he only asks questions and he only search answers. read less
