Abstract
During the Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) epidemic, extra fee-paying private tutoring for distance learners in a blended mode gained remarkable popularity in different parts of the world. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, beginning with quantitative data from 380 participants—parents and students—who completed questionnaires and concluding with qualitative data from 24 participants— students, parents, and teachers—who participated in individual interviews. The study identified the role and impact of extra fee-based private tutoring for Bangladeshi distance learners in a blended approach during the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, it found varying degrees of impacts from fee-paying private lessons for distance learners between two settings. Private tutoring was not always a desirable choice since it undermined individual beliefs and ideologies based on profit-driven learning. The study contributes to private coaching, blended learning, and distance education, providing the assorted implications of education, society, and policymaking during the pandemic.
