home tutoring

In-house academic instruction

Home tutoring is private academic instruction delivered in a student's residence, typically one-on-one with a hired tutor.

It differs from homeschooling, where parents teach their own children full-time.

Home tutoring usually supplements regular schooling: She arranged home tutoring for her son's math struggles.

The term also applies to services for homebound students unable to attend school.
