Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The codes, sub-themes and themes obtained as a result of the analysis were interpreted according to the research sub-problems and the findings obtained by direct quotations were interpreted. In the private lesson, it is seen that effective and systematic education is provided for student needs and level. Easy learning is realized in a short time with the active participation of the student, the subject is taught, in this context, school lessons and are supported for the exams, and the fact that the courses are according to the level, prevents the boredom of the students.
