There are terms for this (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schooltime

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

'this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'there are terms' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'terms' could be 'school' (school term is a kind of term) and 'school' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'time' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
