Person who teaches one student
A person who teaches one student, or a very small group, usually to help them with a school subject.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a tutor in [subject]; a tutor for [someone]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse "tutor" with "teacher" and "professor". A tutor usually teaches one student or a very small group, often for extra help, while a teacher or professor usually teaches a whole class. Also, learners may say *"tutor of math"*; in natural English we say "tutor in math" or "math tutor".
คำพ้องความหมาย
private teacher (More descriptive phrase; slightly less common as a fixed term than "tutor".)
คำตรงข้าม
student (Describes the person being taught, the opposite role to a tutor.)

Teach someone as a tutor
To teach one person, or a very small group, usually to help them with a school subject.
รูปแบบการใช้:
to tutor [someone] in [subject]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes say *"tutor to someone"* instead of "tutor someone". In English, we normally do not use a preposition after the verb: "She tutors me" (not *"tutors to me"*). Also, use "tutor someone in physics" rather than *"tutor someone of physics"*.
คำพ้องความหมาย
coach (Often used for test preparation or skills training; slightly more informal and goal-focused than "tutor".)
คำตรงข้าม
learn (Describes receiving knowledge, the opposite direction of teaching as a tutor.)

University teacher or adviser
At some universities, a teacher who meets with a small group of students, or one student, to teach and give advice.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a tutor for [course / students]; a personal tutor
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may think this "tutor" is the same as a regular classroom teacher. In many UK universities, a tutor is not just any teacher but a specific academic who gives tutorials and personal academic advice. The phrase "personal tutor" is common in this sense.
คำพ้องความหมาย
supervisor (Used especially for guiding research; overlaps in role but does not always include small-group teaching.)
คำตรงข้าม
undergraduate (Represents the typical student receiving guidance from a university tutor, the opposite side of the relationship.)
