Abstract
We use the Hierarchical Linear Model to analyze the current state of extracurricular tutoring time
for secondary school students and its impact on academic performance using UNEB data from
SOROTI district in UGANDA. The study discovered that the effect of extracurricular tutoring
time on academic performance is a non-linear relationship that initially declines and then
increases, indicating that subject-specific tutoring has a threshold effect. When tutoring time
exceeds a certain threshold, academic performance improves qualitatively. However, when
mathematics tutoring time exceeds a certain threshold, the gap in mathematics scores between
students from different family backgrounds widens, resulting in educational inequality. The
effect of school curriculum time on student achievement is a non-linear relationship that begins
with an increase and then declines. When compared to off-campus tutoring time, in-school
curriculum time can more effectively improve on student academic performance.
