TL:DR I think we can use amenity=test_prep or amenity=cram_school for most of these.
An alternative from British English would be amenity=tuition, but I think this might not work in many dialects of English? ---------------------------------- I did some more research about this. Apparently Kumon has branches in the USA, UK and Aus too. Kumon advertises themselves at offering "Math and English tuition" aka tutoring classes, in Australia, and as offering "After School Math & Reading Programs" in the USA. In the UK the Kumon website says "Maths tuition & extra English lessons for children - Kumon Europe" In India, Pakistan, Malaysia and Singapore, the British - influenced term for these places is "Tuition Centre"; (we call them a bimbel or Bimbingan Belajar in Indonesian - translated lit. "learning guidance" or "tuition"), however the word "tuition" could be confusing in other dialects of English? Kaplan describes themselves this way: "offers test prep, license and certification exam prep, degree programs, English learning and pathway programs" - so while test prep is their main business, they also have English classes to prepare students; they are not as different from the Japanese and East Asian "cram schools" as I thought. So perhaps we can group the test prep centres, after-school tuition and cram schools in one tag after all. I would still think that a individual tutor, who might come to your home to provide one-on-one tuition / tutoring, would have an "office=tutoring" or "office=tuition", because the office is not always the site where the services are delivered. But the large facilities that offer after-school and test prep classes would deserve an amenity key. I'm willing to write up a proposal.
