摘要：The demand side of private supplementary tutoring has been and is being researched rigorously while the supply side of this globally spreading phenomenon is remaining unobserved comparatively. This paper attempts to unveil the factors lying behind the determination of wage or salary of the tutors agreed to be given by the households. A set of university students who provide private tuition were surveyed. The findings reveal that the type of institution of the tutees makes an immense influence on the salary of the tutors. If the tutees are students of such academic institutions where the medium of instruction is English, giving tuition to them in private, tutors are more likely to get a salary above the market average rate of that. Transportation cost is the other feature contributing to the increased likelihood of getting the above-average salary. Academic background of the tutors, devoted hours to tuition and the minimum level of expected salary have no vital control over manipulating the salary of the tutors. This paper, in another way, establishes the fact that affluent households spend more money on private tutoring than their counterparts.
