    This study aims to identify and analyze the perceptions about the practice of tutors who work in distance courses offered by the Department of Distance Learning of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977) was used as a research tool to understand how teaching work is redefined in this educational modality, taking into account the peculiarities of pedagogical practice mediated in the virtual environment, which has as its basic characteristic the development of the teaching and learning process with the occupation of different space and time by teachers and students. For that, the research questions were posed in order to try to understand the imaginary of the study participants about tutoring, as well as the tutorial work process itself. In addition, aspects related to the approximation and distancing of the functions of the teacher and the tutor in the context of distance education investigated here were raised, which are based on the assumptions of the Open University System of Brazil, the skills needed to perform the tutorial functions , the potential and points for improvement. It was found, through the analysis of legislation and official documents, as well as from the speeches of the interviewed subjects, the teaching character of the tutor's activity in distance courses. However, relevant issues were evidenced that demand pointing out possible solutions, namely, the fragility of the tutor's employment relationship, the low remuneration and the lack of recognition of teaching inherent to the work of this education professional.
