Private tutoring is currently an international phenomenon and, as research in this field demonstrates, has a pronounced upward trend in many countries around the world. At the same time, the issues of functioning and development of the tutoring services market remain insufficiently covered due to the lack of reliable information on tutoring services, imperfect legislative framework in this area, as well as due to the complex changes in the educational system and in the socio-economic life of society in general, to which the analyzed market is extremely susceptible.
