private instructor

One-on-one educator

A private instructor is someone who teaches one-on-one or in small groups outside institutional settings, typically for a fee.

The term emphasizes the individualized nature of the instruction: She hired a private instructor for piano lessons.

Private instructors work across domains—music, languages, sports, academic tutoring—and are distinguished from classroom teachers by their personalized approach and direct client relationships.
