家教

• 拼音: jiā jiào
• 汉字拆解: 家 = 宀 + 豕 (roof + pig — household); 教 = 孝 + 攴 (filial piety + strike/teach — imparting knowledge through discipline)

含义

(1) Family upbringing and moral education received at home; the values and discipline instilled by parents. (2) Private tutoring; a private tutor hired to teach a student.
