This paper aims to highlight a) the necessity of linking the educational philosophy with practice by presenting educational philosophical theories of the reference field, i.e., adult education, b) the prevailing educational philosophies in active adult educators and c) the possibility of the co-existence of two or more educational philosophies in the field of adult education, in relation to two parameters: education/learning and teaching process. Its contribution is to highlight the need for the trainer to be aware of the educational philosophy adopted in different parts of education such as the learning and teaching process. The research tool is the questionnaire by Lorraine Zinn, "Philosophy of Adult Education" (PAEI, 1983). The PAEI questionnaire by Zinn aspires to highlight the personality of the educator and investigate their critical awareness, the possibility of adopting alternative approaches in the planning of educational programs and teaching methodology and the realizability of the educator’s broader evaluative goals.

Every year a considerable number of high school graduates in Russia choose to pursue a career in medicine and apply to medical universities. However, the level of preliminary training of applicants is often insufficient to enrol in the preferred study programme. Private tutoring is often considered as a means to close the gap between the generally insufficient level of mainstream education and high entry requirements of medical universities. The study is based on the hypothesis that the tutor is an important, but not essential component of an individual educational strategy for entering a medical university. So, this paper aims to provide an analysis of the efficiency of private supplementary tuition by measuring its impact on the performance of students in the Unified State Exam (USE) in biology. Besides, the role of two educational programmes run by the Moscow government, namely, ‘Medical class in Moscow school’ and ‘Sechenov Pre-University’ is analyzed. More than 100 first-year students of Sechenov University took part in the questionnaire survey to implement the goals and objectives of the research. The survey results were analysed using Orange 3 statistical package. Standard methods of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and clustering were used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
