language tutor
Vocabulary lesson provider
A language tutor is a person who provides individualized instruction in a foreign or second language, typically outside a formal classroom setting.
Unlike teachers who work with groups, tutors focus on one student's specific needs—pronunciation, grammar, conversation practice.
The term now extends to software and apps that serve the same function: I've been using a language tutor on my phone to practice Spanish.
