I had a union with my former colleagues the other day. After lunch, we proceeded to a spacious cafe to have a cup of coffee and continued our conversation. I noticed the majority of the guests were young people working on laptops. So, I told my colleagues to lower our voices lest we disturb those young guys.

Then one of my colleagues covertly pointed to a group of three young guys: an older one who looked like a college student, instructing the other two younger boys with his pen, writing on the worksheets, and pointing at the laptop screen. All of them were concentrating on the tutoring and learning. My colleague told me that it is a new private tutoring, and she said that after the two younger guys finish learning, there will be other students to follow. Indeed, an hour later, the two younger guys left, and a girl filled the place. The tutor continued his teaching job.

Well, I used to be a private tutor myself when I was in college. But there was no such cafe that people could repair to. Therefore, most of the time, the tutors performed their jobs at the students homes. Sometimes, that would make the tutors uncomfortable.

The time has changed.
