Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the possibilities and barriers of the practical application of internationally recognized diplomas of higher education. Design/methodology/approach The authors used SWOT analysis for determining preconditions and barriers as well as possibilities and threats that are related to the provision and practical application of internationally recognized diplomas of higher education and the method of modeling of socio-economic processes and systems for compiling a conceptual model of the provision and practical application of internationally recognized diplomas of higher education. Demand for the practical application of internationally recognized diplomas in modern Russia is determined with the method of analysis of statistical data (method of economic statistics). The information and analytical basis of the research consists of materials of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. Findings It is shown by the example of modern Russia that the practical application of internationally recognized diplomas is popular, and universities that provide remote education possess wide possibilities in the sphere of their provision, as they are characterized by high flexibility that allows them to adapt to the international standards of university education. The barriers of the practical application of internationally recognized diplomas of higher education are caused by the lack of clear and generally recognized international standards of university education, absence of entrepreneurial culture of application of internationally recognized diplomas and absence of international organization that certifies activities of universities and issues licenses for internationally recognized diplomas. Originality/value In order to overcome these barriers, the authors created a conceptual model of the provision and practical application of internationally recognized diplomas of higher education.

“…Simply memorizing information is not enough for success; practical application and natural language abilities are crucial. This is why private supplementary tutoring serves as an opportunity for targeted skill improvement for students with lower scores or those in need of additional support (Wright, Lee & Feng 2018;Zhan, Wang, Lykins & Kwo 2013). Therefore, it is essential to consider the effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring in this approach.…”

“…As highlighted by Zhan et al (2013) it also boosts learners' motivation and confidence while sometimes even providing a sense of enjoyment. Additionally, students often choose one, on one tutoring to enhance their achievement (Wright et al, 2018). For example, some people who struggle with writing may choose to have tutoring that specifically focuses on this skill of trying to improve all the skills required for the TOEFL.…”

Private extra academic support, also referred to as shadow education has experienced growth, in Asian nations, such as Indonesia. However, despite its use this type of education often receives attention from the government compared to formal schooling. This research aims to explore the motivations that influence university students’ choices to seek academic support specifically for TOEFL preparation—a vital step towards achieving an internationally recognized English proficiency score. Involving 60 university students for the data collection using questionnaire, this study identified factors that drive the demand for private TOEFL tutoring among Indonesian graduate students. Despite concerns about the absence of standardization and potential student exhaustion resulting from tutoring it continues to provide personalized instruction and assistance. This study highlights the role that private supplementary tutoring plays in meeting the growing demand for success and its impact on students’ academic and career paths, in Indonesia.

“…In a study by Liu and Bray (2017), academic and nonacademic tutoring are included as examples of investment by families to improve students' performance in mainstream school examinations. A study by Wright et al (2018) expands the definition even further, to include private tutoring for students at international schools in China offering the International Baccalaureate curriculum. However, the majority of research conducted in China focuses on shadow education as a parallel system to Chinese mainstream education at primary and secondary level (e.g., Kwok 2010; Zhang 2014; Zhang and Bray 2017).…”
