Table 6. Percentage responses to 'Have you ever had a tutor?' by student's year group and
father's education.
Relations between the employment of tutors and students’ ethnicity were explored through
data supplied by student questionnaire responses. About two thirds of the sample was
classified as White European and the rate of tutoring (‘ever had a tutor’) among this group
was relatively low (25%) as compared with most other ethnic groups. Indian students were
most likely to have private tuition (45%), followed by Chinese (35%), African (31%), Other
Asian (29%), Pakistani (28%), Caribbean (27%) Other White (27%) and Bangladeshi (20%).
As the numbers in these groups are relatively small, the results should be taken as indicative.
