There's some research about this. [1] It seems tutoring is very effective as a teaching method, but of course, not very scalable. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/

  Exactly. Tutoring is a huge advantage for your children if you can afford it. One area where you still see it is in music lessons. Any even moderately serious student of the piano or similar instruments learns in a tutoring type arrangement. Those individuals who have the potential for groundbreaking genius, say the 4+ sigma crowd, simply cannot practicably be adequately served by group instruction if they are to reach their potential. It's up to us as a society to decide whether we want to treat our intellectual superiors as precious gifts that should be cherished or as affronts to our notions of equality and fairness. I fear we're leaning ever more toward the latter. It's too bad, because humanity is facing a number of problems that will probably require geniuses to solve.
