Abstract	Tutor maltreatment is a serious issue within educational settings that can have detrimental effects on student’s well-being and academic success. This article presents a comprehensive literature review that explores the prevalence, types, consequences, institutional policies, interventions, cultural and contextual considerations, and the role of stakeholders in addressing tutor maltreatment. Drawing from recent research published within the last 10 years, this review provides an up-to-date analysis of the current state of knowledge in this area. The findings reveal that tutor maltreatment encompasses various forms, including verbal abuse, unfair treatment, and power imbalances, which can significantly impact students emotionally and academically. Educational institutions play a pivotal role in addressing tutor maltreatment by implementing clear policies, training programs for tutors, establishing reporting mechanisms, and providing support services for affected students. Cultural sensitivity and contextual understanding are crucial in creating an inclusive environment that respects students' diverse backgrounds. Moreover, the review highlights the importance of stakeholder involvement, including educational institutions, tutors, students, parents and guardians, and the broader community, in addressing tutor maltreatment effectively. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders are essential to creating a safe and respectful learning environment. Overall, this literature review contributes to a comprehensive understanding of tutor maltreatment and provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers to develop evidence-based strategies that promote student well-being and prevent tutor maltreatment. Further research is needed to bridge existing knowledge gaps and enhance interventions in this critical area.
