tuition teacher

What is a tuition school?

I think I should have used "tuition centre". This is the place where students go to for help in their weak subjects. The teachers there will teach them in a small group. We call these teachers wrongly as tuition teachers.

There are some "tuition teachers" who teach privately on a one-to-one basis.

What is the correct term for both groups of "tuition teachers"?

Thanks.

I think we would use the word "tutor" for someone who works with students needing help in their studies.

Do native speakers use "private tutor"?

I would call both of those groups tutors. Tutors can provide assistance to students individually or in group settings.

We don't have anything we call tuition centres here so your description is a bit of a puzzle.

Then what do natives call such centres?

I looked it up. If the tutoring is not done in a student's home, it is done at either a tutoring centre or tutoring academy.

Here, we use tuition to refer to the actual cost of classes at a school/college/university.

Where I live - a tuition teacher (which I take to mean private rather than public school) is still called a teacher; one that would privately teach one pupil - I am guessing this is a situation where the child attends school, but then gets additional teaching privately - maybe to help them? If so, we call them tutors. If it were a situation say like a home-schooled child - taught privately at home full time - I would call a teacher.

Ok for anything with additional help outside of the regular school - we always referred to them as tutors.

We have used private tutor to describe it. Either I have heard used.

When you are paid to teach inside a traditional school, (first grade through high school), you are called a teacher. That goes for whether the school is a public one free of charge, or a private one where you have to pay. The money that you have to pay a school is called tuition. Someone who gives additional instruction to the student in addition to the instruction the school gives is called a tutor. Usually these people work one-on-one with the student and get paid for that. Sometimes a tutor might teach a small number of students instead.

We don't usually have institutions for that, additional instruction is usually carried out on an individual basis.

One exception: There are companies that specialize in giving instruction in doing well with the private exams given in the last year of high school-these are called the SAT, some places have the ACT. These exams, given by private companies, are used by colleges and universities to determine if you are accepted-the higher the score the better your chance of college acceptance. I'm not sure what they call the instructors in those SAT or ACT classes, as I've never attended one.
