tutor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can be instructive' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'trout swimming' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates anagramming the letters (letters swim around into a new order).
'trout' anagrammed gives 'TUTOR'.

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tutor that I've seen before include "Mentor" , "School" , "Teach" , "Personal teacher" , "train" .)
