tutors

One-on-one educators

Tutors are people who provide individual or small-group instruction, typically outside formal classroom settings.

A tutor might help a struggling student catch up or push an advanced one further.

The verb means to give such instruction: She tutors high school students in math.

College athletes sometimes have academic tutors to keep them eligible.
