Tuition

0Hi all,02br
02br
00I've now seen enough posters here talk about "tuition" in the way I would talk about "tutoring" that I wonder if this is another BrE/AmE thing. 02br
02br
00If you work privatly with a student outside of class to give extra help, what is that called in the UK? In American English, it's "tutoring." 02br
02br
00I earn extra money as a tutor. Noun. 02br
00I tutor kids in math. Verb. 02br
00I've been tutoring off and on for a couple years. Verb. 02br
00My tutoring has helped some kids bring of their grades signficantly. Noun.02br
02br
00How does it work in the UK, please?0-

0 Hi Barb - I think you will find both here, though "out of hours tuition" is very common. I also think it will depend on whether you refer to the activity [tutoring] or the process [tuition].0-
