First, is tutoring really a "method"? I don't think so. Second, could you please document your sources when you call tutoring faster than any other "method". I am really at a loss to know what you are comparing here. Is it tutoring with the "communicative method" or is it tutoring against large classes? Furthermore in point 6 you confuse learning and teaching. It is a common error. Please don't assume that a few hours of teacher training and a nice looking resume has the effect of producing "quality learning". Teaching and learning need to be evaluated independently.
