Summary/Abstract: The following paper aims at showing the situation observed nowadays on the market of extracurricular educational services in China. On this example a reader can see how different it appears in comparison to European circumstances. A spectacular impression the tutoring facilities make is the source of their competitive advantage and stunning success. Also the image of a student coming from the city viewed in the article diverges significantly from what can be noticed in the Old Continent. The young Chinese appear to be very ambitious, hard-working and motivated to get best education, but on the other hand they get susceptible to any western trends.
