Academia
In British academic parlance, a tutorial is a small class of one, or only a few, students, in which the tutor (a professor or other academic staff member) gives individual attention to the students. The tutorial system at Oxford and Cambridge is fundamental to methods of teaching at those universities, but it is by no means peculiar to them (although it is rare for newer universities in the UK to have the resources to offer individual tuition). At Cambridge, a tutorial is known as a supervision. Plato is credited with the inception of academia: the body of knowledge, its development and transmission across generations. ...

In some Canadian universities, such as York University or the University of Toronto, a tutorial refers to something more like an American discussion section, that is, a class of between 12-18 students that is supplemental to a large lecture course, which gives the students the opportunity to discuss the lectures and/or additional readings in smaller groups. These tutorials are often led by graduate students, normally known as a "Teaching Assistant" or "TA", though it is not unknown for the primary instructor of a course, even if a full professor, to take a tutorial.

On the Internet On the Internet, a tutorial is a document, software, or other media created for the purpose of instruction for any of a wide variety of tasks. One example of this would be the Wikipedia:Tutorial mentioned above.
For media to be properly identified as a tutorial -- the following attributes should be present:
- A presentation of content, usually with an example or examples, often broken up into discrete modules or sections.
- Some method of review that reinforces or tests understanding of the content in the related module or section.
- A transition to additional modules or sections that builds on the instructions already provided. Tutorials can be linear or branching.
While many writers refer to a mere list of instructions or tips as a tutorial, this usage can be misleading.
