In foreign countries, generally speaking, the teaching and counseling of university courses are mainly provided by universities themselves. Universities usually have teaching support services, writing centers and counseling institutions to help students improve their academic level and solve academic problems. These services are usually free or included in the tuition.

However, some students may need extra support in specific subjects or skills, and some private tutoring institutions or private tutors may provide relevant services at this time. These remedial services may include:

Subject guidance: providing additional teaching guidance for a specific subject or course.

Language guidance: provide English language support for students whose mother tongue is not English.

Academic writing guidance: to help students improve their academic writing and research skills.

Preparation for exams: Provide counseling specially prepared for exams, such as TOEFL and IELTS.

When selecting any remedial service, it is recommended to pay attention to the following:

Quality and qualification: ensure that the selected institution or individual tutor has a good reputation and relevant qualifications.

Expense: Understand the expense structure, and make sure that you know the specific content of the expenses paid.

Academic integrity: ensure that the selected service does not involve acts that violate academic integrity, such as writing papers on behalf of others.

If you need extra support in your study, you should first consult the academic support services provided by the university. Universities usually have special consulting departments that can provide you with the help you need.
