What teachers offer, I note, abandoning sense (7)
I believe the answer is:
tuition
'sense' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'what teachers offer i note abandoning' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' is within the answer.
'note' could be 'ut' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ut' is found in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuition that I've seen before include "Training" , "Teaching, often one-to-one" , "Teaching, instruction" , "Personal coaching" , "(Individual) instruction" .)
