Today got tuition

I am a Malaysian. Here, we have a culture of sending our children for private tuition after school hours. I often received this message from tutors 'Today got tuition' to inform me that the class Is on. Does it sound correct to a native speaker or is it typically Malaysian? Can someone comment on this and please let me know how a native speaker would say it. Thank you.

It would not sound correct to native speakers of UK or US English. We might say "We're having class today", or "The class is on (for this afternoon)", or something along these lines. Please don't post the same question more than once.

No. Blue Jay's suggestions are better although, "We're having class today" seems to be more America

Yes, I think lesson works better than class to describe a tutoring session.

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. What about 'Does it sound correct to a native speaker ........' ? Is it a mistake too? If so, how should I phrase it. Thank you.

It's OK. I might say "Does this sound correct to a native speaker?" but your version is unremarkable.
