tutoring session

One-on-one instruction

A tutoring session is a scheduled period of one-on-one or small-group instruction, typically outside regular classroom settings.

A tutor works with students on specific subjects or skills they're struggling with: I have a tutoring session after school to work on algebra.

Sessions may be paid or volunteer, formal or informal.
