Abstract
The article demonstrates the results of a hands-on survey dedicated to the teachers’ opinion about tutoring as a form of informal education. 497 teachers from different types of schools in Saint Petersburg participated in the survey. The analysis of empirical information shows the positive attitude of the vast majority of teachers towards tutoring and their high degree of readiness to provide tutoring services. As respondents’ answers show, the necessity to prepare for Unified National Exam is becoming the most valid reason for popularity of tutoring. Settlement of issues connected to individualization of learning, salary growth and decrease of number of students in class might become factors preventing growth of school kids’ additional lessons with tutors. The study also shows that Russian science is only starting to explore tutoring as a social phenomenon widely spread in Russian education system.
