This is a theoretical investigation based on the readings of Alves, Simão and Leitinho (2018), Mororó (2017), Bego (2016), Belloni (2006), Gonzalez (2005), Mattar (2012), Bentes (2009). We also conducted documentary research based on calls for tutor selection from three public institutions in Fortaleza that maintain an agreement with the Open University of Brazil. The readings performed to show that the authors differ as to whether the tutor is considered a teacher or not. However, most consider that the role of the tutor goes beyond the transfer of content, he has numerous teaching duties, and should, therefore, be considered a teacher-tutor.
