tuition

Cost of learning

Tuition is the money paid for instruction, especially at a school or university: Tuition has risen faster than inflation for decades.

In older or British usage, tuition means the teaching itself rather than its cost: She received private tuition in mathematics.

The American sense of tuition-as-payment now dominates.
