tutoring
One-on-one teaching
Tutoring is one-on-one or small-group instruction, typically supplementing formal education.
A tutor helps a student with specific subjects or skills: She's been tutoring him in calculus.
Tutoring can be remedial, helping struggling students catch up, or enrichment for those seeking advancement.
The word covers both providing and receiving such instruction: He earns money tutoring on weekends.
