The easiest way is probably via a custom form:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07#Custom-forms.
Another option -- each table row or div containing a field input has an id
that starts with "[tablename]_", so you could use a jQuery selector like:
jQuery('[id^=tutor_]').hide()
That will hide all table rows whose id's start with "tutor_", which should
be all the field inputs in the form.
