Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 18% of 28 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Despite its engaging beginning, The Tutor may have benefitted from less plot holes and a few lessons in moviemaking to rise above the watchable popcorn thriller curve."[4]

Julian Roman of MovieWeb gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "The film suffers from major logic flaws but keeps you hooked to a pulpy climax with a devilish turn."[5] Jon Mendelsohn of Comic Book Resources gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The Tutor is a mildly entertaining thriller that convolutes itself with too many twists."[6] Keith Garlington of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette gave the film a positive review and wrote, "But for those able to avoid the traps of over-critiquing or even overthinking, The Tutor captures much of what people enjoy about these popular popcorn thrillers."[7]
