A bit part of education is (should be) independent learning with textbooks and reading. You don't need to be "tutored".

Tutors should be able to approximate the ZPD better than any student can. Most students lack intrinsic motivation and it's a tutor's job to help them get started.

    > Most students lack intrinsic motivation
Woah, this a wild claim. Plus it is on a spectrum per subject. Do you have any evidence to support your bold claim?

Okay, I was generalising from experience; most students I've met lack intrinsic motivation. School systems typically encourage students to depend on extrinsic motivation.
