Tutor taking tea with an actress (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teacher

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

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

'tea with an actress' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'an actress' becomes 'cher' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tea'+'cher'='TEACHER'

'taking' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teacher that I've seen before include "Hectare (anag)" , "Coach" , "Schoolmaster" , "one of the staff" , "CARRY ON FILM" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
