I am going to send him to English tuition next year.
I will send him to English tuition next year.


I decided to send him to tuition in the future. Can I use "I am going"?
 
Yes, you can. It's the most usual of your choices. The second is not natural in most scenarios.
 
:up: And 'send him to tuition' is pretty unnatural too. You're going to send him to English classes or to an English teacher or school - any appropriate concrete noun will do. ;-)

If you really want to use "tuition", you could say something like "I'm going to arrange for him to have private English tuition next year".
 
I can accept 'I am going to send him for English tuition'.
 
In AmE, I have only seen "tuition" used to refer to the money paid for some sort of class/training/education. Not the class itself.
 
It works in BrE. We wouldn't say "I'm going to my English tuition tonight". We would say "I'm going to my English class/lesson tonight". However, we would say "My mum's making me have private English tuition this summer. She's worried I won't pass my exam otherwise", or similar. The money paid for it is the "tuition fee(s)".
