Teaching, instruction, and TUITION are all terms used to describe the process of providing knowledge and guidance to students. TUITION is a seven-letter term that is often used to refer to the payment made for educational services. It is typically associated with private instruction, such as tutoring, but can also be used to refer to the fees paid for attending a school or college. Teaching and instruction are broader terms that encompass the entire process of providing education, including TUITION.
