If you are actually being audited in this scenario, you probably should secure professional representation or at least an in-person consultation with a tax professional.
It's unclear whether you had a sole proprietorship prior to forming a general partnership, and then forming an LLC, but you should have been filing a Form 1065 for the partnership, regardless, and not a Schedule C (which is for a sole proprietorship).
Nevertheless, with respect to categorizing the tuition and travel as unreimbursed employee expenses, you should be aware that for tax years 2018-2025, you can no longer claim those expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions on Schedule A.

Again, you should seek professional assistance with regard to this matter, in particular, and your LLC, in general.
Tuition reimbursement programs need to have a plan document with specific eligibility requirement and are limited in the amount...(I believe it is $5000 per employee). So as a small business, be sure you are offering to all employees, but your eligibility can be very specific. Look up online for a sample education reimbursement plan. IRS will want to see that Plan Document, and likely even employment letters to check eligibility.. Based on some Sch C audits we are aware of.
