Funny feeling with home teaching (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intuition

'funny feeling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'with home teaching' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'home' becomes 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home).
'teaching' becomes 'tuition' (tuition is a kind of teaching).
'in'+'tuition' is 'INTUITION'.

(Other definitions for intuition that I've seen before include "Unconscious understanding" , "Innate understanding" , "Instinctive knowledge" , "Hunch" , "An indefinable knowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
