Can I say "teach classes to somebody"?

Hi,

On the internet, I have found some sentence examples such as "teaching English classes." I also know that we can say "teach English to somebody." However, can I say "I taught tutorial classes to students with special learning needs."? Am I using the correct prepositions?

Thank you!:-)

Yes.

The prepositions are correct but that's a very long-winded way of saying "I taught students with special [educational] needs" or "I tutored students with special [educational] needs"

I certainly think that "I taught tutorial classes" is tautologous.
