study by themselves or study with a teacher? There are various methods of study, as well study by themselves or study with a teacher. Both methods can lead to good results, but I think that study with a teacher is better because teacher is a professional so he knows the subject very well. Moreover the teacher can explain what you did not understand and he can deepen the topic. Study with a teacher also favors relationships with people, improving the social and human aspects. Contrarily study by themselves it's very difficult because no one can explain what you do not understand so you must understand alone. However study by themselves can be positive because your mind struggles to understand so your brain is training. to conclude I think that both methods are valid because they have both positive and negative aspects. However study with a teacher is better because it has more positives than negatives.
