Abstract

This paper employs quantitative research to examine the potential effects of English extracurricular tutoring on the academic achievement of secondary school pupils. The data utilized are sourced from the China Education Tracker 2013-2014, maintained by the China Centre for Data Surveys and Data (CEPS) at Renmin University of China. The analysis involved controlling variables to examine the impact of various influencing factors. These factors encompass the familial background of students, their economic standing, and the amount of time they dedicate to self-study. In summary, extracurricular tutoring has a beneficial effect on student accomplishment. Specifically, students who engage in extracurricular tutoring are more likely to attain superior academic outcomes compared to their peers who do not participate in such activities. Extracurricular tutoring has been a subject of intense controversy for a long time. The necessity of participating in extracurricular tutoring is constantly questioned, including the specific subjects covered and the level of student involvement.
