Here in the US we would use the word tutoring in the same way the OP uses tuition. Which is more correct? Neither, both.

If anyone needs one to one tuition on Sonar, pm me. Midlands, UK. 
Can travel around the midlands.

I have no clue if this is close to you, but here is a thread from someone looking for Sonar assistance privately in the London area:

Well, according to Dictionary.com:

tu·i·tion  [too-ish-uh n, tyoo-]  
noun
1.  The charge or fee for instruction, as at a private school or a college or university: 

2.  Teaching or instruction, as of pupils: a school offering private tuition in languages.

3.  Archaic. guardianship or custody.


So, was the OP offering guardianship? :)

sorry Bob but you didn't seem to read point 2 of the very definition you provided. There it clearly states that the OP's use of the term 'tuition' was correct.
i.e. "If anyone needs one to one tuition (teaching or instruction) on Sonar,".....
If he was incorrect in anything it would be in the use of 'on SONAR ' instead of in SONAR. The latter being more correct.

As a native NYer who had the pleasure of living & working in the UK for many years, I often found myself in the same situation of words having multiple or different meanings across the pond. 

I'm still not quite sure I understand how 'bollocks" (b*lls) is a negative term, while the "dog's bollocks" (dog's b*lls) is good!

The "dog's bo!!*x" has the same origin as the phrase "bog standard".  They were derived from "Box Standard" and "Box Deluxe", two versions of a product.  I can't for the life of me remember what the product was.  Meccano or some such.  Old age has destroyed my memory.

I was completely kidding - just thought it funny to have found a third definition for the word.
