money paid for education
Money a student pays to a school, college, or university to study there.
Mẫu sử dụng:
tuition for [program/course]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "tuition" (the money) with "tutor" or "teaching" and say things like *"The tuition was very kind"* when they mean *"The teacher"*. Another mistake is to use it as a regular plural for general costs, e.g. *"The tuitions are expensive"*; in this sense, "tuition" is usually uncountable, so "tuition is expensive" is more natural.
Từ đồng nghĩa
school fees (More general; often used for primary or secondary schools, not just colleges and universities.)
Từ trái nghĩa
free education (Describes education where students do not have to pay tuition.)

Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often think "tuition" only means the money you pay and do not realize it can also mean the teaching itself, especially in British English. They may also say *"a tuition"* when they mean *"a lesson"*; in this sense, "tuition" is usually uncountable and used without "a".
