Before the exam, the studio aims at making profits, focusing on cultivating outstanding students and contract students (a one-time payment for contract students can speed up the return of studio funds and ensure that he is admitted). Of course, it does not mean that other students will ignore it, and as a teacher, there is still ethics. The future enrollment rate and student evaluation will affect studio enrollment.
The advantage of a small studio is that you can learn from teachers more pertinently, and those who can open a studio alone have good abilities. The advantage of a big studio is that there are many experts and a good learning atmosphere.
When the teacher doesn't take the initiative to find you, you should always take the initiative to ask the teacher for advice. This is the "truth"! Everyone likes studious students. In the studio, people who actively mingle with teachers have more opportunities to acquire knowledge. Even contract students can't help them if they learn passively.
As for the price, I asked my classmates who opened a studio in Gome, and it was similar.
I wish you success in your studies!
