You are referencing the $user variable when you have set a $tutor variable. Add 
this to your view so you can inspect the shape of the $tutor variable and work 
out how to access the key you are looking for:

die(debug($tutor));

It'll probably look something like this:

array(
        'Tutorsession' => array(
                'id' => 1,
                'user_id' => 123,
                'other_fields' => 'other_values',
                'User' => array(
                        'id' => 123,
                        'username' => 'the_user_name'
                )
        )
)

If it does, you access the username with:

$tutor['Tutorsession']['User']['username']
