A private tutor is a teacher who is hired by a family to teach to only one pupil or to a small group of children or youth. Less commonly, adults may get private tutoring in a topic such as foreign languages. There are mainly two types: Private teacher: These teachers are charged to assure the entire education of their pupils. The reasons why a family would want to hire such teacher are various: The story could take place when and/or where schools weren't so widespread or the pupil(s) is/are in need of supervision because of health, security or behavior, or could be Child Prodigy/ies. Academic coach: Academic coaches supplement the education of struggling students or give supplemental courses on a subject such as music or art. They can be hired by an Education Mama. If tutor and tutee are sufficiently major characters, and post-pubescent, nine times out of ten this will end in a Teacher/Student Romance. Music tutors are most susceptible to this, likely because music stirs the passions of the heart. This is a quite modern trope. Regular schools for children didn't start to appear until the medieval age, and then only in larger cities. Up through the entire 19th century, working as a governess was a quite common and respectable job for single women. As such, most examples before then would be a case of People Sit on Chairs since private tutors were the main source of education. See also Homeschooled Kids, who, if not taught by their parents, will probably have one or more private tutors, and the Magical Nanny. |

In Nancy Drew: The Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Ethel is employed to teach Jane such varied subjects as art, French, and science. And, of course, the Penvellyns' secret history. Apparently, Ethel's family have often served the Penvellyns in this capacity, just to ensure that their treasure will never be forgotten. It doesn't hurt that the Penvellyn manor is very isolated. | |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: While it never actually comes up in the series proper, it's mentioned in supplemental material that Fujiwara's older sister Toyomi used to tutor Shirogane back when he was in elementary school, which makes her indirectly responsible for him getting into Shuchi'in and thus setting the entire series in motion. He also had a very minor Precocious Crush on her (so minor in fact that the author states that she doesn't even qualify as his First Love). Kaguya takes it upon herself to help Ishigami study for a remedial exam as a way to pay back a favor she feels she owes him and ends up laying the seeds for an adorable Like Brother and Sister dynamic between the two. She also helps him during the following two end of semester exams out of a desire to help improve his self confidence, using the possibility of attracting his crush Tsubame to motivate him. This ends up working very well in the long run, as it's mentioned near the end of the series that he's in the top 10 of his class long after she's stopped actively helping him. Kashiwagi helps Tsubasa study for exams after they start dating, though this has the adverse effects of causing her own grades to plummet while his rise as the series goes on to the point that he actually ranks above her by the time they graduate. |

In Pyramids, before he enrolled in the Assassins' Guild school, Teppic had a string of tutors, most of whom got freaked out by his father's occasional belief he was a seagull and fled, one of whom was actually a poacher who taught him how to use a puntbow and another of whom "tried to introduce him to certain athletic techniques favoured by the classical Pseudopolitans". The net result was that "Teppic hadn't been educated. Education had just settled on him, like dandruff." | |

The Crown (2016). Played for drama in "Scientia Potentia Est". A flashback shows Elizabeth as a child going to Eton to receive private tutoring from a professor in constitutional law while surrounded by his male students, the future leaders of the country, who are learning mathematics and literature. As Queen she feels outclassed by the more intelligent and literate world leaders she has to deal with in the rapidly advancing 20th Century, so she arranges another professor to educate her in general subjects. When this professor tries to establish what level of education she's currently at, the Queen realises that she hasn't received the most basic school education that any of her subjects have access to. | |

One series of FoxTrot strips has Denise's family trying to hire Peter to tutor Denise in history. Denise is actually doing well in the class and has no need for a tutor, but convinced her parents otherwise so she could spend more time with Peter. In another strip, Jason was convinced he needed one because he wasn't breaking an A+++++ average. Andy sent Peter to tutor him on being less of a geek. |

Reborn! (2004): The titular character Reborn is a private tutor who nurtures heirs into becoming mafia bosses. He's this to the protagonist Tsunayoshi Sawada (Tsuna for short) in behalf of the ninth boss of the Vongola Family, and prior to him, he also tutored Dino from the Cavallone Family. Reborn's students started as wimps, but they Took a Level in Badass and have grown into very formidable fighters. His teachings are also very unconventional, such as shooting Tsuna in the head with a Dying Will Bullet which only works as long as Tsuna has a strong enough will to cheat death in order to achieve his current objective. | |

In Prince Caspian, Caspian is given a tutor by his Uncle Miraz. He's hired to replace his nurse, after Miraz finds out that she's been telling him banned stories about Old Narnia. This backfires on Miraz: the tutor turns out to be an Old Narnian himself living in secret. He teaches Caspian more about the subject than his nurse ever did, not to mention saving Caspian's life when Miraz later tries to have him killed.* We later see that regular schools do exist in Narnia at this time, although it's doubtful whether the Crown Prince would be sent to one. | |

In Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto, Cesare attends Sapienza University in Pisa, but he rarely goes to class because he has a private tutor. The tutor appears in several scenes — he's the one who tries to tell Cesare not to interfere in the fight in "Gakuseidan", and there's a brief scene where he and Miguel discuss protecting Cesare without him knowing they're there. | |

In a filler episode of Dragon Ball Z, the tutor Mr. Shu is hired to teach Gohan all that he missed while he [Gohan] was away on Namek. Seems innocent enough at first, but then behind closed doors, Mr. Shue is a whip-cracking madman. He feigns innocence whenever Chi-Chi's near, but then she catches him blaming Gohan's "disobedience" on Goku being a worthless father. She kicks his ass immediately. | |

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove it: Yukimura has a part-time job working as a tutor to one of his professors' daughters, who is a bit of a slacker and whose father doesn't believe in her academic abilities at all. Nonetheless, Yukimura is a fairly effective and supportive teacher, even if he's generally grumpy and frustrated. | |

The examples from the musicals The King and I and The Sound of Music are both Truth in Television, as both musicals are Very Loosely Based On A True Story. Both expand their heroines' teaching roles, however: the real Anna wasn't the royal children's only schoolteacher, but just their teacher of English, and the real Maria wasn't a governess to all the Von Trapp children, but only to daughter Maria Franziska (Louisa in the musical), who was too weak from scarlet fever to attend school with her siblings. | |
