A tutor is an instructor who gives private lessons. Shadow education is a name for private supplementary tutoring that is offered outside the mainstream education system.
Normally, a tutor will help a student who is struggling in a subject of some sort. Also, a tutor may be provided for a student who wants to learn at home.
In the United States, the term "tutor" is generally associated with one who gives professional instruction (sometimes within a school setting but often independently) in a given topic or field.
In English and Irish secondary schools, form tutors are given the responsibilities of a form or class of students in a particular year group (up to 30 students). They usually work in year teams headed by a year leader, year head, or guidance teacher.
Form tutors will provide parents with most of the information about their child's progress and any problems they might be experiencing. Ordinarily, the form tutor is the person who contacts a parent if there is a problem at school; however, the year leader or guidance teacher may contact the parents, since the form tutor has full-time responsibility as a specialist subject teacher.

In the University of Cambridge and University of Dublin a Tutor is an officer of a college responsible for the pastoral care of a number of students in cognate disciplines; as against a Director of Studies in Cambridge who is responsible for the academic progress of a group of students in their own discipline, with both Tutors and Directors of Study answering to a Senior Tutor. In the University of Oxford, the colleges fuse pastoral and academic care into the single office of Fellow and Tutor, also known as a CUF Lecturer.
Yoga (/ˈjoʊɡə/;Sanskrit, Listen) is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. There is a broad variety of schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga.
The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions, is mentioned in the Rigveda, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India's ascetic and śramaṇa movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third century BCE or later. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE, but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century. Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra.
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core. One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy.
Yoga philosophy is one of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism. Ancient, medieval and most modern literature often refers to Yoga school of Hinduism simply as Yoga. It is closely related to the Samkhya school of Hinduism. Yoga school's systematic studies to better oneself physically, mentally and spiritually has influenced all other schools of Indian philosophies. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a key text of the Yoga school of Hinduism.
The epistemology of Yoga school of Hinduism, like Sāmkhya school, relies on three of six Pramanas, as the means of gaining reliable knowledge. These included Pratyakṣa (perception), Anumāṇa (inference) and Sabda (Āptavacana, word/testimony of reliable sources). The metaphysics of Yoga is built on the same dualist foundation as the Samkhya school. The universe is conceptualized as of two realities in Samhkya-Yoga schools: Puruṣa (consciousness) and prakriti (matter). Jiva (a living being) is considered as a state in which puruṣa is bonded to prakriti in some form, in various permutations and combinations of various elements, senses, feelings, activity and mind. During the state of imbalance or ignorance, one of more constituents overwhelm the others, creating a form of bondage. The end of this bondage is called liberation, or moksha by both Yoga and Samkhya school of Hinduism. The ethical theory of Yoga school is based on Yamas and Niyama, as well as elements of the Guṇa theory of Samkhya.
"Yoga" is a song by American singers Janelle Monáe and Jidenna. It was released on March 31, 2015 as the second single from Monáe's upcoming Wondaland Records collective EP, The Eephus. A departure from Monáe's well-known indie funk and psychedelic sound, "Yoga" is a hip hop and trap record with a more mainstream sound and lyrics that can be interpreted as "sexualized". Many music blogs and publications have praised Monáe for her creativity, sense of individuality and boldness on the track as well as Jidenna's relaxed flow. The song was produced by Nate "Rocket" Wonder, Nana Kwabena Tuffuor and Jidenna. In the United States, "Yoga" became Monáe's first single as a lead artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100; the song, "We Are Young" on which she was featured, peaked at number one in 2012.
In February 2015, Monáe announced that she had signed her Wondaland Records label to a partnership deal with Epic Records. Soon after, she announced that she and her collective (Jidenna, St. Beauty, Roman GianArthur, and Deep Cotton) would be releasing a 5-track EP titled The Eephus. Epic CEO and chairman L.A. Reid said of Monáe and her collective, "The collective talent of the Wondaland artists is awe-inspiring," and also that, "I haven't personally witnessed a collective that sounds and looks this special in quite a while. I've been a longtime supporter and friend of Janelle and it is an honor to now work with her as a visionary businesswoman who brings an all-star group of talented performers to the table." The first single released under the new and revamped Wondaland Records for The Eephus EP was Jidenna's "Classic Man".
Lookin in the mirror, lookin deep in my soul
Shits outta control, my head has been exposed
Fiend for a tandom lime light
Burnin my skin, damn I need to get mine right
Been in my mind right
The public love to see contraversy
Lord have mercy, I'm feelin unworthy
Should I shoot another man just to get popular
It ain't enough for signing Eminem and a doctor
The more fame you get the more they love to watch ya
Hope you ruin your life, by chance a camera will spot ya
Michael Vick got us sick cause he was fightin the pits
Now I want a refund I just baught season ticks
The media love it now the Falcons ain't shit
The worlds gettin high off it's problems, what a bitch
And I'm getting high off this blunt I just lit
And this pill I just took, I guess your boy ain't worth shit
But we all got something that we addicted to
Birds are just living some times they eat at you
So I understand what these people going through
Cause when times are rough we all tend to turn too
I heard Lindsay Lohan just left rehab
And Amy Whitehouse won't go
I heard Bobby Brown can't put the pipe down
And Anna Nicole OD'ed on blow
Now turn the radios up
Let's get higher higher higher higher higher
Turn the TV's on, c'mon
Let's get higher higher higher higher higher
If Jack Nick did it and George Bush tried him
Jimmy Hendrix died from em so I'm ridin
Used to sell em' with my niggas in Washta
Fiends come back to back back and cop em
Police arrest us but that don't stop us
That the man is there so the profits proper
The goverenment know what's happenin so what
They cool long as they get they cut, hurry up, re-up
Now Paris drunk drivin, Britney back sidin
Fuckin with that powder again, no job and
The worlds full of addicts so I'm not suprised when
They get busted for getting high and
It's live at eleven, oh look shes cryin
All the while, we crackin jokes and smilin
Watchin they pain they gunna punch me in the eye and
Entertain by the drama sniffin all they trials in
I heard Lindsay Lohan just left rehab
And Amy Whitehouse won't go
I heard Bobby Brown can't put the pipe down
And Anna Nicole OD'ed on blow
Now turn the radios up
Let's get higher higher higher higher higher
Turn the TV's on, c'mon
Let's get higher higher higher higher higher
I heard Lindsay Lohan just left rehab
And Amy Whitehouse won't go
I heard Bobby Brown can't put the pipe down
And Anna Nicole OD'ed on blow
Now turn the radios up
Let's get higher higher higher higher higher
Turn the TV's on, c'mon
