Express disapproval or teach (5)
I believe the answer is:
tutor
'teach' is the definition.
(I know that tutor is a more specific form of the action teach)
'express disapproval or' is the wordplay.
'express disapproval' becomes 'tut' (tutting is making a disapproving sound).
'tut'+'or'='TUTOR'
(Other definitions for tutor that I've seen before include "Individual teacher" , "Personal coach" , "Coach, teacher" , "Private instructor" , "Edify" .)
