Comment: Redirecting to
Tutor seems inappropriate, as that target has a subject-area focus whereas the present article concerns "pastoral (as opposed to academic) care", an aspect falling under
meaning 2 in Wiktionary. Is there more here than a job title dicdef? Unless a material history of emergence, of challenges and changes in the role can be identified, this seems to fail
WP:GNG.

Keep The subject here is the role of the tutor in a college where it is usually a formal title. The exact duties and responsibilities will vary, depending on the institution and its use of the
tutorial system. My own experience was at Cambridge University where, as the article explains, a student has both a Director of Studies, who is a subject-matter expert in the student's faculty, while the Tutor is responsible for other aspects of the student's life. Other institutions may combine the roles. Anyway, the topic is notable as it is easy to find sources including:
Andrew Davidson, perhaps a different disambig would be a good start. With the current (education) disambiguator it makes me think it's just a general tutor, ie. someone that helps you with your homework. Maybe changing it to (higher education) would help to distinguish the difference, as I think leaving it at education encompasses primary & secondary education as well, which this article doesn't apply.

There's obviously a lot that can be done to improve this weak stub and so
WP:ATD applies, "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." Repeated deletion nominations aren't helping. See

Merge and redirect; while this is definitely a distinct concept, there is not enough material here (and not enough references) to warrant it being a distinct article. And it's not like they overlap. jp×g05:39, 18 January 2021 (UTC)reply
