Definition of tutor
Definition: A tutor is someone who teaches, especially as a private instructor. In Roman and civil law, a tutor is a guardian appointed to take care of a minor's person and estate.
For example, if a student is struggling with math, they may hire a tutor to help them understand the concepts better. In legal terms, if a child's parents are unable to take care of them, a tutor may be appointed by the court to act as their guardian and make decisions on their behalf.
These examples illustrate the two different meanings of the term "tutor" - one as an educator and the other as a legal guardian.

A tutor is someone who teaches you things. They can be a private teacher who helps you learn new skills or subjects. In Roman and civil law, a tutor is also a person who takes care of a child's well-being and property until they are old enough to do it themselves. If the child is past puberty, they have a different guardian called a curator.
