Reference problems

Has anyone used a tutor as a reference and had a problem?
I had a tutor help me throughout university because of my learning disabilities. I thought he would be a much better reference than profs who don’t know me from the next guy.

But now they are questioning me about what our relationship was and I am freaking out. It never crossed my mind that it may be a problem….

  1. I think he would be a great reference as he’s seen you working on academic things and overcoming any issues you had.

    Did he perhaps use a personal email on his reference and they’re thinking he’s more like an acquaintance? Were they a tutor assigned by the university or one you sought privately to help?
