Abstract	Each empirical contribution [of this special issue] focusses on the extent and effects of private tutoring in a specific country by adopting different theoretical and methodological approaches, although the special issue does not aim at a direct comparison of private tutoring in different countries. The composition of the empirical papers reveals that the research questions regarding the effects of private tutoring can be located on different levels ranging from the evaluation of a specific intervention program to the analysis of the role of private tutoring as part of a society's education system. On the methodological level, the contributions profit from the specific strengths of qualitative and quantitative data as well as from experimental and non-experimental large-scale studies. The different approaches of the empirical papers are complemented by two discussions. On the basis of an integrative and systematizing view of the papers, on the one hand, their specific strengths and limitations are discussed and, on the other hand, future research directions regarding the effects of private tutoring are outlined.
