To me an office is more of an administration type thing. I don't think it should be used for an educational function. An office=educational_institution would be for record keeping, admissions, teacher preparation offices - that kind of thing.

shop=* to me they sell physical things .. mostly. I don't think of them as educational.

amenity=prep_school .. umm amenity ... not something I like to use.
And prep_school tends to indicate preparation before going to school rather than extra work on top of school.

Looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Education_features

I think it would be good to have a tag eduction=tutoring.
That could then have sub tags for max:age/min:age etc.

That then leads into thinking on using an education key for schools/colleges/kindergartens etc... which might be a good thing?

I agree re shop. And I'd definitely avoid "prep school" since it has an entirely different meaning in American English (it's a posh high school.)

I've been tagging these as office=tutoring since it seemed to be the relevant tag with the most support (with amenity=tutoring in second place.) But I agree that office isn't ideal -- generally these places don't look/feel like offices, more like classrooms.

If there's a big reorg into education=* (similar to healthcare=*.. there have been a couple proposals for this I think) then that would definitely be a contender. As of now, no one would find them.
