Tutor Group
A tutor group is a term used in schools in the United Kingdom to denote a group of students whose pastoral and academic needs are looked after by one tutor. This will happen either through regular tutorials, or on a more casual basis. A group of students under one tutor are called tutees.

However, such groupings may be used for the teaching of some subjects in school. The term is broadly equivalent to the term ''homeroom'' used in the United States.
