It is possible for tutors to be sued, although it is not a common occurrence. Tutors, like any other professionals, can be held legally liable for any injuries or damages that occur as a result of their actions or negligence. However, it is important to note that tutors are generally not responsible for the academic progress or outcomes of their students.

To minimize the risk of being sued, tutors should ensure that they have appropriate insurance coverage, such as professional liability insurance, which can protect them in the event of a legal claim. Tutors should also follow all applicable laws and regulations, and take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of their students.

It is also important for tutors to clearly communicate their roles and responsibilities to their students and clients, and to set clear boundaries and expectations in order to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts. By taking these steps, tutors can help to reduce the risk of being sued.
