tuition, intuition

Tuition or tuition means a fee that is paid to attend school or college, or for instruction of some kind--
He borrowed the money for his tuition, so he has to graduate to pay it back.
He's dropping out because he can't afford the tuition.

Tuition also means instruction or teaching--
He might do better with private tuition, one-on-one.
They are offering tuition for the math finals after class.

Intuition or intuition means a sort of hunch or insight; a belief arrived at without going through a process of reason and evidence--
Intuition can be useful, if we use it to decide where to look for evidence.
Websites like this are meant to be navigated by intuition, whatever that may mean.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"My intuition is that he is so worried about tuition fees that he can't concentrate."
