Reverse a tutor suffers making valuable discovery (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasure trove

'valuable discovery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reverse a tutor suffers' is the wordplay.
'suffers' indicates an anagram.
'reverse'+'a'+'tutor'='reverseatutor'
'reverseatutor' anagrammed gives 'TREASURE-TROVE'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for treasure trove that I've seen before include "Hidden delights" , "Discovered valuables" , "stash?" , "asset to the government" , "valuable discovery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
