Working in place of Dean teaching others a lesson (8)
I believe the answer is:
tutoring
'lesson' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'working in place of dean teaching others a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tutoring that I've seen before include "Instructing, teaching" , "Giving individual instruction" , "Private instruction" , "class action" , "Giving private teaching to" .)
