TUTOR ( See also: term, borrowed from See also: Roman See also: law, for a See also: guardian of an infant (see ROMAN LAW and INFANT)
.
Apart from this usage, which survives particularly in Scots law, the word is chiefly current in an educational sense of a teacher or instructor
.
It is thus specifically applied to a See also: fellow of a See also: college at a university with particular functions, connected especially with the supervision of the undergraduate members of the college
.
These functions differ in various See also: universities
.
Thus, at See also: Oxford, a fellow, who is also a tutor, besides lecturing, or taking his share of the general teaching of the college, has the supervision and responsibility for a certain number of the undergraduates during their See also: period of residence; at Cambridge the tutor has not necessarily any teaching functions to perform, but is more concerned with the economic and social welfare of the pupils assigned to his care
.
In See also: American universities the term is applied to a teacher who is subordinate to a professor, his See also: appointment being for a See also: year or a term of years
.
