However, he did receive some education in the following ways:
* Home schooling: His father, Immanuel Nobel, was an engineer and inventor, and he gave Alfred some instruction in science and engineering.
* Private lessons: He received private lessons in languages, mathematics, and chemistry.
* Self-study: He was an avid reader and learner, and he taught himself many subjects, including explosives and the production of dynamite.
So, while Alfred Nobel didn't have a single tutor, he learned from a variety of sources throughout his life.
