Summary
Both South Korean authors Young Chun Kim and Jung-Hoon Jung have been researching in the field of curriculum studies for over a decade.

Five basic forms of shadow education are presented: home-visit private tutoring, private tutoring institutes, subscribed learning programs, internet-based private tutoring, and after-school programs.[1] Each form is described with examples from different (mostly East Asian) countries, subdivided into types, and summarized briefly at the end of each section.
