Stretching the truth in advertising
Labels: Israel, real estate
And, judging generously, perhaps the tutor is advertising a willingness to tutor that most obnoxious age of child, the middle school student. (Yeah, that's a stretch.)
Junior high students are worried about getting into good high schools, which I think requires doing well in all subjects. This is the time of year when they are likely to worry. So it makes sense to advertise to that grade level. Maybe high school students who don't "major" in math don't care that much about doing well, as long as they can pass enough bagruyot to graduate. (Bagruyot are exams taken at the end of high school, I think like A-levels in the UK in that you take harder tests in the subjects that you major in.)
