It is very, very likely (I'd almost say "evident") that this is the
case if one just reads between the lines of the tutor technical
requirements FAQ:

http://www.tutor.com/apply/tutoring-faq#system

"Your computer must meet the following specifications to run the
Tutor.com Provider Classroom software"

If those specs are so dumb er I mean "strict" to specify Internet
Explorer 8.0 or higher" it means to me that their software is heavily
dependent on several MS specific features to work.

Interestingly, that FAQ doesn't mention Office at all, so I'd be
curious to know where/how exactly the OP got the explicit answer, IIRC
"no, OpenOffice is not good".
