Abstract
Tutorial function favors the integral development of the individual; however, it is necessary that tutors present certain qualities and competencies which will, in consequence, derive in better educational and tutorial practices. The present research aims to identify and analyze the profiles of several tutors taking into account their similarities regarding such aspects as planning, functions, development and assessment. This is a non-experimental study of an exploratory nature. We gathered information from a total of 401 tutors and 4,254 secondary education students from Madrid, Spain. The results reveal four different tutor profiles with a variety of characteristics regarding the development of their tutorial functions. The conclusions reveal that educational centers need to establish quality mechanisms to guarantee the proper functioning of tutorial practices through the knowledge of the particular realities and interests of their students.
