Few mappers used amenity=tuition to identify a place where students are taught under the supervision of educators with the goal of supplementary their studies. These amenities are typically run with commercial for-profit purpose, and do not include other programs such as physical education.

Controversy

The term 'tuition' either describes the process of "teaching or instruction, especially of individual pupils or small groups" (Oxford Dictionary, British English) or the "money paid to attend a school" (American English). The meaning of "place to get tutoring" is only found in Indian English. The Amenity key requires a physical object in the value. Thus the tag does not comply with the tagging rules to choose British English terms.
