1) Use either:
I am going to the lesson.
or
I am going to have tuition.
'tuition' is abstract and does not work well in your context. You can't 'go to' it.

2) correct

3) 'Before' does not work in that place. You could say:
My school opens ar 8 a.m. but I always go to school 15 minutes before that
but it's the best of constructions.
I suggest:
My school opens ar 8 a.m. but I always get there 15 minutes earlier.

Just a note, if you are communicating with an American audience, they will be confused by this usage of tuition. I know I was the first time I heard it. Here, "tuition" is exclusively used as the cost of taking a class or going to a school.

No - a student receives tuition, not takes it.

Not really - to start tuition doesn't make much sense either.

You must receive Maths tuition. Correct?

Then how to say? You must teach students as tuition or what is the correct usage?
