tutoring services

One-on-one instruction

Tutoring services provide one-on-one or small-group instruction to help students master subjects or prepare for exams.

The term usually refers to commercial or institutional offerings rather than informal help from a friend: She signed up for tutoring services to improve her SAT scores.

Schools, learning centers, and independent tutors all offer tutoring services.
