Abstract: This study attempts to understand the private tutoring situations in Thailand using survey techniques via an online questionnaire on Mathematics and English tutoring. The data was collected from 412 Bachelor’s degree students in Thailand. The result shows that 310 students (75.24 percent) took private tutoring in both Mathematics and English, 46 students (11.17 percent) did not take any private tutoring in neither subject. Furthermore, 37 students (8.96 percent) took only Mathematics private tutoring and 19 students (4.61 percent) took only English private tutoring. To analyze the effect of private tutoring on students’ academic scores, the two-stage least square with the instrumental variable is used to correct the endogeneity problem from a two-way relationship between students’ academic scores and private tutoring participation. The results reveal that Mathematic and English tutoring help increase the students’ O-net scores when compared to those who have not taken any tutoring. Furthermore, the more English tutoring received, the higher English O-net score. However, unlike English, the Mathematics O-net score does not go up in proportion to the amount of time spent on private tutoring. Whereas students with higher O-net scores are likely to progress more significantly than students with lower O-net scores. This shows the inequality of academic outcomes due to private tutoring. In addition to the O-net score, faculty entering is used to measure the academic outcome. The multinomial logistic regression is used to investigate the effect of private tutoring on faculty entering into Bachelor's degree programs. The results show that students who take more private tutoring in Mathematics subjects are more likely to enter science-related faculties than social science-related faculties. And students who take more English private tutoring are more likely to enter science-related faculties than art-related faculties
