Abstract
Over the years, the role and function of the tutor is changed. The meaning of the term tutor saw the phasing out of security and protection sense to highlight a formative and educational significance. The tutor, metaphorically, acts a bit as “a modern Charon” ferries subjects-intraining in the transition paths: the analysis of the characteristics and competences, the identification of needs, the design of personal paths or orientation initial and ongoing. This seems, at a glance, to offer a multifaceted meaning of the term. Tutor is a person able to guide the subject-in-training in the path of the construction of knowledge and competences. At the same time, the tutor is a counsellor that “take care of” and a coach that lead people to go forward.
