“…This teacher lockout started the largest and without comparison most dominant private tutoring company in Denmark, MentorDanmark, as almost every Danish parent was left without schooling for their children for nearly a month (S. Christensen & Williams Ørberg, 2015;Muff, 2017). MentorDanmark, who-based on their own estimates 1 -covers about 80% of the Danish market, has assisted 20,650 families with private supplementary tutoring since 2014 until today (Egmont Foss, 2019;MentorDanmark, 2020). Still, the market is relatively small in comparison with other Western countries and is concentrated in and around the larger cities in Denmark (Barker, 2018).…”

“…As the shadow education research is at its early stages in Demark, there are no reliable and independent numbers as to how big the market is or how many parents use private tutoring. However, looking at publicly accessible numbers, MentorDanmark has grown rapidly and is now worth about 13.5 million Euro (CPR API, 2020;Egmont Foss, 2019). This may seem small in international comparison, but in a small country with 5.8 million inhabitants and a fairly new market, the company's growth is significant.…”

Purpose: This article investigates the role of private supplementary tutoring in Denmark in light of the country’s pedagogical traditions in schools and leisure spheres. Design/Approach/Methods: Although tutoring activities are increasing, the phenomenon is not as prevalent in Denmark as in many other countries. In this article, we look in to the history of Danish pedagogy for answers as to why this is the case. In the analytical sections of the article, we include research on parental values of child-rearing, as well as findings from a pilot study on Danish families purchasing private supplementary tutoring, the public debate about private tutoring, and contemporary youth research. Findings: With a solid emphasis on democracy and equality in Danish pedagogy, the conditions for increasing private supplementary tutoring in Denmark have been challenged. However, a current focus on global competition, formal competencies, and higher academic performance among children and young people suggests that providers of private tutoring perhaps face a brighter future—also in Denmark. Originality/Value: This article addresses a new field of qualitative research on private supplementary tutoring in Denmark and may be a platform for further reflection and empirical research.
