I would like to know opinions of tutors on the topic 'self-learning vs tutor-assisted learning'. There are many websites and apps which can be used to master Language topics like grammar, vocabulary, listening skills. But a student still needs help and guidance from a tutor especially for topics like spoken English. On the other hand, there are courses which are completely tutor-led. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods?

I believe Self-Learning is the best mode of learning provided there is sheer dedication being put by one into it. Some guidance does no harm and I think guidance should be taken as the first step before the self-learning mode by the students can finally by adopted.

People say, its combination of both tutoring and self-learning that leads to great results. In our opinion, It is tutoring that is still the best way to go forward. Today, as you mentioned, there are millions of GBs stuff free on English speaking and everyone claims their data to be excellent. It is tutor's duty to introduce students to suitable material and guide them on how to use it. This way students are not confused by over-rated claims. Also, class-room coaching ensures consistency and discipline required to learn well. So class-rooms are equally important. read less

It's true that there is a world of resources available on the internet when it comes to learning but 'tutor assisted learning' certainly has its advantages as it ensures disciplined, structured and consistent efforts towards reaching your goal.

I am in a place called Kannamangalam.  What is the correct usage? 'I am in Kannamangalam' or ' I am at Kannamangalam'. 

Why modern-day writers have discarded using 'at' for villages. 

Since "Kannamangalam" is a place, you need to use 'in'. Using 'at' will make your sentence sound off. So, you should say, "I am in Kannamangalam".
