John Broughton, 75, was sentenced to a token one day's imprisonment, having already been sentenced to 40 months in 1986 for similar offences in that decade.
At Woolwich Crown Court he pleaded guilty to a charge of indecently assaulting a nine-year-old boy at an address in Sidcup, south-east London between December 1981 and April 1982.
The one day's imprisonment will run concurrently with a sentence he is serving for another offence.
The court ruled that if sentenced in 1986 for the historic offence it would have made no difference to the length served.
Broughton must also sign the Sexual Offenders Register for seven years.
Detective Constable Bethany Russell said: "What this victim suffered was unacceptable. Broughton should have been protecting the victim in his role as his private tutor.
"I commend the bravery of the victim in coming forward to police after so many years.
“This case demonstrates that police will investigate and prosecute sexual offences, no matter how long ago they happened."
