No. A sincere and dedicated teacher is always vigilant and ensures that his performance in class is not jeopardised by his private tuitions and vice versa.

Yes. Teachers intentionally do not explain a topic properly in class. As a result, students have to go to them for tuitions. This is a common practice today.

No. A dedicated teacher does not differentiate between students taking tuitions from him or her and those he or she has to teach in class. He or she takes equal care to teach well in both places.

No. It is rather the other way round. A teacher has to teach well in class if he or she wants pupils to seek tuitions.

Yes. Private tuitions do affect a teacher’s performance in class. Sadly, this malaise affects most teachers nowadays.
