Tuition, Teaching, Training, Discipline or Education?

Tuition is the technical term for teaching as the business of an instructor or as in the routine of a school; tuition is narrower than teaching, not, like the latter word, including training. We speak of the teaching, training, or discipline, but not of the education or tuition of a dog or a horse.
