I tutor mostly economics for ~$20/hour at my local state university. I think 5 fits well.
In my experience, the students get the most benefit when I sum up how the material fits together and discuss how they will be tested on it. In contrast, the teacher is more likely to treat the material as a series of unrelated, challenging problems. Professors at my school have to average each class’s grades onto a certain GPA (I think it’s around 2.5).
Teaching in the way they do maximizes the sorting effect. Those who already know how to manipulate models come out with a great grade. Those who don’t struggle.
