private tutors
One-on-one teachers
Private tutors are individuals hired to provide one-on-one instruction outside of regular school settings.
They work with students on specific subjects, test preparation, or general academic skills: She hired a private tutor to help her son with calculus.
The arrangement emphasizes personalized attention that classroom teaching cannot provide.
Private tutoring ranges from informal homework help to intensive college admissions coaching.
