High school tutoring appears to be the same thing but in person: the tutors basically do the homework for you (ahem, "with" you).
It was so bad that in one class at my son's high school, the kids were turning in great homework but failing the in class tests, so the parents protested and had the homework's weight increased (and test weight decreased) in the computation of the overall grade -- and had the change made in the middle of the year!
I was quite naïve and was shocked by this. I'd gone to schools where where external tutors or essay-writers weren’t really viable.
