Do Class 6 Students Really Need Coaching Classes? Here’s the Truth 

Let’s be honest. 

Most parents don’t want to send their child to coaching classes. 
They do it out of fear. 

Fear that: 

  • The school isn’t enough 
  • The child will fall behind 
  • Others are doing it 
  • “This is how everyone succeeds” 

But let’s pause and ask a harder question. 

If coaching works so well, why do children need it every year, for every subject? 

Coaching Is a Symptom, Not a Solution 

Coaching exists because: 

  • Classrooms are overcrowded 
  • Teaching is exam-oriented 
  • Individual attention is missing 

But coaching doesn’t fix these problems. 
It just adds another layer of instruction — and stress. 

Most coaching classes: 

  • Teach the same content again 
  • Use the same rote methods 
  • Focus on marks, not mastery 
  • Create dependency instead of confidence 

The child becomes dependent on someone else explaining everything. 

That’s not learning. That’s outsourcing thinking. 

What Children Actually Need at This Age 

At Class 6, children need: 

  • Concept clarity 
  • Time to explore 
  • Freedom to make mistakes 
  • Encouragement to ask questions 
  • Tools to learn independently 

Not pressure. 
Not comparisons. 
Not 3-hour tuition sessions after school. 

When children learn how to learn, they don’t need coaching. 

The Coaching Trap 

Here’s what usually happens: 

  • Child struggles → joins tuition 
  • Tuition gives temporary improvement 
  • Parent feels relieved 
  • Next year syllabus gets tougher 
  • More tuition required 

It becomes an endless loop. 

And worst of all — the child never learns self-reliance. 

A Smarter Alternative 

Today, technology allows something far better: 

  • Personalized learning 
  • Concept-by-concept explanations 
  • Learning at your own pace 
  • Zero judgement 
  • Unlimited revision 

AI-based tutors can adapt to a child’s level, explain topics differently, and encourage exploration — something no classroom or coaching centre can do at scale. 

The goal isn’t to replace teachers. 
The goal is to free children from dependency

The Question Every Parent Must Answer 

Do you want your child to: 

  • Memorise answers? 
  • Or understand concepts? 
  • Depend on tuition? 
  • Or become an independent learner? 

Because the future rewards the second group.
