It comes in various modes, i.e., the face-to-face, correspondence, radio, and electronic tutorial (e-tutorial). The quality of tutorial is highly dependant on the quality of tutor, covering the guidance provided by the tutor, the interaction between students and tutor, the examples and non-examples given, the quality of assignment, and structure and infrastructure supporting the tutorial.
