Would it be to tutor?
to tutor has been formed from the noun a tutor, mainly because there wasn't a verb for it before that, so saolandamy is (or are) correct, that's the closest you'll get.

Not every word that ought to exist does so.

Thank you for your interest and answers.
Actually, as long ago as the 19th century, tute has been used as a joking, colloquial abbreviation for the verb or noun tutor. So, if you mean to use the word in a very informal setting, why not use it?
omg are you really that thick

go back to school you brainless t1t
Someone who is being tutored is a "tutee". "Tutelage" also comes from the same family of words; from the Latin "tutela" meaning "protection" or "guardian", which in turn comes from "tueri" meaning to "look at" or "guard". In any case, a decent etymological dictionary always comes in handy for these kinds of queries.
