Admittedly, a clear division is usually made between studying with a teacher and studying by themselves. Although studying by students themselves has many advantages, such as no limit in time and location, I believe that students can learn better with a teacher.

First, students can have systematic knowledge when studying with a teacher. Because of teaching experience, teachers know how to teach certain sorts of knowledge. They know that what knowledge needs to be learned first and which subject can be learned subsequently. Therefore, students can have a complete system of knowledge if they follow the teachers’ instructions. However, if students study by themselves, they may not possess the experience which teachers have. As a result, they do not know how to have a complete knowledge system. Even if students have some knowledge about how to study, their experience may be not correct. Based on arguments above, I believe that students can learn knowledge more completely and systematically with a teacher than by themselves.

Second, students can solve problems they come across when studying with a teacher. Teachers have faced a huge amount of problems that kinds of students faced, so they know the correct way to solve the problems of students no matter in study or in life. If students study with a teacher, they can ask questions and seek for help from teacher. However, if students study only by themselves, they may not solve problems due to lack of experience. Thus, I believe that teachers can help students solve problems that cannot be dealt with by students themselves.

Third, teachers can present kinds of methods for effective teaching. For example, teachers know when they have to change communicating techniques to make sure that students can grasp the idea. And also, teachers can use diagram, table and image to illustrate their point. On the contrast, if students study by themselves, they may only have books and do not know other means to learn knowledge when they have difficulties in study. Therefore, students can study knowledge effectively with a teacher instead of stunt by difficulties when they study by themselves.

In conclusion, although studying by students themselves does have some advantages, such as no studying limitation in time and location, studying with the help of teacher is a more desirable way because of better consequence, useful advice and various methods. Consequently, I think that students can learn better with teacher than by themselves.
