The demand for tutoring focused on preparing for the 12th grade national exams is increasing by 65% compared to the same period last year, according to data from the Fixando platform.
With the reintroduction of the requirement for students to take three national exams to complete secondary education, the focus on these assessment elements increases and the demand for tutoring increases significantly.
The platform, which provides a variety of services, explains that 84% of requests for explanations for national exams correspond to 12th grade students. In this context, the Portuguese subject stands out (38%), whose exam is mandatory for all students. The remaining exams are free-choice, with the second most chosen option being Mathematics (20%).
Among students who use tutoring to prepare for national exams, more than half (53%) attend more than one session per week.
The average cost per exam preparation class was 18 euros in 2023 and, this year, it is 21 euros.
