Tutoring is a relationship of an educational nature, established between a subject in training and a more experienced person (a teacher, a student older for age or later in the course of studies, a person belonging to the same professional profile), aimed at fostering the learning process.

Through the process of empowerment, the tutor puts the trainee in a position to gain experience, to learn from mistakes, while maintaining the role of support and accompaniment, and without ever replacing himself.

Tutoring means:
