St. John's Tutors At St. John's, all teaching members of the faculty are called tutors rather than professors. The chief role of a St. John's tutor is not to expound doctrines in a field of expertise, but to be a good questioner, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of students. Tutors must acquire understanding in those parts of the St. John's program that are outside their field of post-graduate training, so they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them.
Students thus gain the advantage of being under the guidance of active learners in the classroom.
