Hi,
Thank you for the reply. What I am trying to say is, he had failed in some subjects during graduation, so he had came to me for tuition for failed subjects.
Is the word 'backlog' not suitable in this c

I have never heard of backlog used in connection with failed courses.
Backlog is used when a factory gets so many orders that they cannot fill them all in a short time. The pile of orders waiting in the queue is called the "backlog."

What I am trying to say is, he had failed in some subjects during graduation, so he had came to me for tuition for failed subjects.

'Graduation' refers to the rather ceremonial process that happens after you complete all the necessary courses.
So, you can't fail courses during graduation.

Thank you Teachers for kind support.

Then, is it correct to

I suspect that the original poster intends "tuition" to mean what we (in the U.S.) would call "tutoring." (In the U.S., "tuition" is the money that you pay to go to school.)

Exactly. You are right Khoff. Is it not the right word to use? Then how the sentence would be?

Thank you.

I think maybe "private tuition" is used that way in British English, but in the U.S. we would say

'He was my student. He had failed in some subject during his degree course. So I tutored him."

He failed some subjects, so I gave him private instruction. That allowed him to pass the courses and graduate.

Thank you Teachers. Have a great day ahead.
