Advisor gives you advice, the opinion about something or how to do something. Supervisor will check your work or task, telling you if its right or wrong and maybe telling you what your should do. Tutor provides more support, normally tutor for kids, someone with responsibility to explain and guide someone.

At university (in the UK) the tutor is someone you might see regularly and you can ask about academic or personal things. A supervisor usually helps you with a specific project, your dissertation or thesis. An advisor could be anyone you helps you with a specific topic, could be an academic, technician or librarian for example.
