What does TUTOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A private teacher who instructs one student or a small group, often outside a regular classroom.
A tutor usually works with a single student or a handful of students, focusing closely on gaps in their understanding rather than teaching a whole class at once. Universities also use the word tutor for staff who guide students through coursework, discussion, and academic writing in a more personal setting than a large lecture. Because a tutor works so directly with a student, private tutoring often costs more per hour than group instruction, but many families and students consider that attention worthwhile. The same word doubles as a verb, describing the act of tutoring someone in a subject.
