Institute

In Korea, there are a variety of private education(paying money other than regular school education) after school. So, many students go there to learn musical instruments or regular school subjects:Math, English, Social science etc.

I don't think(and I heard) there is education system abroad like Korea.

Yes, you can use the words private tutoring, or just tutoring.

Sometimes, the word 'tutor' is used to differentiate between a registered teacher and a non-registered 'teacher'.
