University tutoring: face-to-face or virtual: a systematic review

University tutoring is an activity in which the tutored (student) and the tutor (teacher) participate and which promotes the personal, academic and professional development of the student. This article presents a systematic review of university tutoring based on sources of information consulted to identify the most important dimensions and establish the benefits it represents for students. S cientific articles were collected heuristically, using search engines and journal repositories ( SciELO , Scopus, Redalyc and DOAJ) between 2017 and 2021. From the review of the research consulted, 8 predominant dimensions were identified in which the three parties that make up the university tutoring program are identified: the institution, the tutor and the student. University tutoring is an indicator of the quality of university education and an effective procedure to reduce the gap that exists in education,especially to reduce student dropout and improve the student's overall performance.
