Hello colleagues,
In an American English marketing text advertising the merits of a language school abroad, the following sentence can be found:
"Our friendly school is close to shops and services, while our student information service is there to help you with any queries [...]. We can also assist you with home stay placements, references, banking support and ***under-age tuition***."
Sorry, no other context.
One (far fetched?) hypothesis would be that it refers to driving lessons for persons under the legal driving age.
Any explanation, if not actual translation, would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
