Home schooling makes sense (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intuition

'sense' is the definition.
(intuition can mean a sense or instinct)

'home schooling' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'schooling' becomes 'tuition' (both can mean teaching).
'in'+'tuition'='INTUITION'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intuition that I've seen before include "Gut feeling" , "Perception" , "Instinctive knowledge" , "Innate understanding" , "Unconscious understanding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
